Abstract:
A method of fabricating semiconductor devices having a cover cap, comprising steps of:patterning a cover wafer to form a cover configuration, the cover wafer being at least one of photo-etchable and transparent; and attaching the cover configuration to a device substrate to form an assembly, the device substrate including at least one device, wherein: the cover wafer is photo-etchable; and the step of patterning includes a step of selectively sensitizing regions of the cover wafer, wherein the step of patterning further includes a step of etching the cover wafer with an etchant to selectively pattern the cover wafer based on the selectively sensitized regions, wherein the step of etching occurs before the step of attaching, and wherein the step of patterning further includes steps of: defining a plurality of cover caps in the cover wafer to form the cover configuration; and defining a plurality of connective support beams in the cover wafer to interconnect the plurality of cover caps.
