Patent ID: 8288851

Claim:
A MEMS package adapted for wafer level probing of MEMS devices, the MEMS package comprising: a substrate comprising: a plurality of MEMS chips, each of the plurality of MEMS chips including a plurality of devices, the plurality of MEMS chips being arranged in a spatial manner as a first array configuration, the first array configuration including a first separation region extending in a first direction between each of the plurality of individual chips and a second separation region extending in a second direction between each of the plurality of individual chips, the first direction being oriented at an angle with respect to the second direction; and one or more bond pads located adjacent to each of the plurality of MEMS chips, wherein the one or more bond pads are in electrical communication with the plurality of devices in each of the plurality of MEMS chips; and a transparent member of a predetermined thickness, the transparent member comprising: a plurality of recessed regions within the predetermined thickness, wherein the plurality of recessed regions are arranged in a spatial manner as a second array aligned with the first array configuration, and wherein each of the plurality of recessed regions are bordered by a standoff region joined to the substrate, the standoff region having a thickness defined by a portion of the predetermined thickness; and one or more access regions passing through the transparent member and providing wafer level probing access to the one or more bond pads.
