ABSTRACT:
A wafer level hermetically packaged integrated circuit has a protective cover wafer bonded to a semiconductor device substrate wafer. The substrate wafer may contain a cavity. The cover wafer seals integrated circuits and other devices including but not limited to air bridge structures, resonant beams, surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices, trimmable resistors, and micromachines. Some devices, such as SAWs, are formed on the surface of cavities formed in the protective cover wafer. Die are separated to complete the process.
