Patent ID: 8809135

Claim:
A Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) apparatus produced by a method comprising: obtaining an SOI wafer, which comprises: (i) a handle layer, (ii) a dielectric layer on said handle layer, and (iii) a device layer on said dielectric layer; etching said device layer of said SOI wafer to at least partially define said MEMS device; obtaining an interposer wafer; bonding said SOI wafer to said interposer wafer in a way such that said device layer of said SOI wafer faces said interposer wafer; removing said handle layer of said SOI wafer; and removing said dielectric layer of the SOI wafer, wherein said interposer wafer is manufactured from an SOI wafer, wherein said interposer wafer comprises: (i) a handle layer, (ii) a dielectric layer on said handle layer, and (iii) a device layer on said dielectric layer.
