ABSTRACT:
A method for increasing the bonding strength between a die and a housing for the die is described where a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) device is formed on the die. The method comprises depositing a plurality of clusters of contact material onto a bottom surface of the housing, placing the die onto the clusters, and subjecting the housing, the clustered contacts, and the die to a thermocompression bonding process.
