Abstract:
Representative methods for sealing MEMS devices include depositing insulating material over a substrate, forming conductive vias in a first set of layers of the insulating material, and forming metal structures in a second set of layers of the insulating material. The first and second sets of layers are interleaved in alternation. A dummy insulating layer is provided as an upper-most layer of the first set of layers. Portions of the first and second set of layers are etched to form void regions in the insulating material. A conductive pad is formed on and in a top surface of the insulating material. The void regions are sealed with an encapsulating structure. At least a portion of the encapsulating structure is laterally adjacent the dummy insulating layer, and above a top surface of the conductive pad. An etch is performed to remove at least a portion of the dummy insulating layer.

Claim (Index 20):
The MEMS device of  claim 18 , further comprising:\n a conductive pad at an upper surface of the insulating layer; and an interconnect structure in the insulating layer and under the conductive pad, wherein the interconnect structure is electrically coupled to the conductive pad and at least one of the reference membrane and the active membrane.
