Patent ID: 8387854

Claim:
A method of integrating a three-dimensional micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) sensing device at precise angles on a substrate having a surface oriented in an xy-plane, the method comprising: coating bond pads arrayed on at least one of opposing longitudinal sides of a z-axis sensing device with an electrically-conductive material using a first mask with openings; completely covering the electrically-conductive material on the bond pads in all dimensions with a solder material using a second mask, wherein the second mask has openings that are larger than the openings in the first mask; providing a bonding pattern for the z-axis sensing device on some portion of the substrate; mechanically and electrically coupling the solder material on corresponding bonding areas of the bonding pattern provided on the substrate; and electrically coupling and mechanically coupling a two-axis (xy-) sensing device to the surface of the substrate.
