Abstract
Silicon/glass anodic bonding is widely investigated during MEMS packaging of multi-stack structures. The electrical behavior of anode bonding can be described as the charging and discharging process of RC circuit. Here, we conduct the equivalent RC circuit model analysis and experimental investigation, and demonstrate that voltage division and electricity leakage are the dilemma for the conventional multi-stack anodic bonding. By using feedthrough, the feasibility and convenience of “shorting out bonding” is presented, which is exampled through the wafer-level packaging of the MEMS gyroscope. Result from the sensor’s vacuum characterization reveals that shorting out bonding for multi-stack silicon/glass structures is an effective method for wafer-level packaging due to long-term stability and low temperature property.‘
