Patent ID: 8432007

Claim:
A micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) package, comprising: a ceramic carrier substrate having a top side, a MEMS chip mounted in a flip-chip configuration on the top side of the carrier substrate, at least one chip component on, or above, the top side of the carrier substrate or embedded in the carrier substrate, a metallic shielding layer above the MEMS chip and the at least one chip component, the metallic shielding layer forming a seal with the top side of the carrier substrate, and an enclosure between the metallic shielding layer and the MEMS chip; wherein: the MEMS chip and the at least one chip component are electrically connected to each other or to external contacts on the carrier substrate; the enclosure comprises a cover over at least part of the MEMS chip; the MEMS chip and the at least one chip component are one next to the other and are electrically connected to terminal surfaces on the carrier substrate, the enclosure seals the MEMS chip and the chip component to the carrier substrate separately, and the metallic shielding layer is above the MEMS chip and the chip component.
