The packaging of the MEMS device is an important part in the MEMS production process, and the packaging is not only used to isolate the device from the external environment, protect the device from mechanical impact, gas corrosion, radio frequency interference, etc., but also used to achieve the connection of internal and external signals. The MEMS packaging technology with high efficiency, high reliability and low cost can push MEMS devices to further industrialization. Wafer level packaging is an efficient and reliable packaging mode, processes such as sealing, interconnection and the like are carried out in advance to a wafer stage, and then scribing is carried out. And the three-dimensional packaging based on the substrate punching technology has shorter connecting lines, so that the performance of the chip can be improved while the packaging structure is reduced. Wafer level three-dimensional packaging is therefore a major development in the packaging of MEMS devices.
The in-plane motion type micro device is an MEMS device manufactured by using a micro processing technology, a microstructure is processed on a silicon wafer through the technologies of photoetching, deep reactive ion etching and the like, and the silicon wafer and a glass substrate are bonded together through anodic bonding. The usual direction of movement of the movable parts of the device is parallel to the plane of the wafer. The prior chinese patent CN 207973508U discloses a MEMS wafer level package structure, which bonds a cap layer with a deep cavity to the surface of a wafer with a MEMS structure, accommodates the MEMS structure in the deep cavity, completes the processing of a connection wire by wire bonding or electroplating, and completes the package by using a resin coating structure. The method provides a three-dimensional wafer level packaging idea, but the processing of the connecting wire is difficult, a deep cavity needs to be etched on the sealing cover, and the process flow is complex.
