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 17):
The MEMS device of  claim 15 , further comprising:\n a second metal pad in the insulating layer proximate an upper surface of the insulating layer; and a second interconnect structure in the insulating layer, the second interconnect structure comprising a third set of conductive vias and a fourth set of metal structures interleaved with the third set of conductive vias, wherein the second interconnect structure is electrically coupled to the second metal pad and the first metal pattern.
