Abstract:
An embodiment method includes forming a first plurality of bond pads on a device substrate, depositing a spacer layer over and extending along sidewalls of the first plurality of bond pads, and etching the spacer layer to remove lateral portions of the spacer layer and form spacers on sidewalls of the first plurality of bond pads. The method further includes bonding a cap substrate including a second plurality of bond pads to the device substrate by bonding the first plurality of bond pads to the second plurality of bond pads.

Claim (Index 15):
A package comprising:\n a device substrate comprising a micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) structure, wherein the device substrate comprises a contact area; a first bond ring on the contact area, each of sidewalls of the first bond ring being aligned with a respective one of sidewalls of the contact area; and spacers on the sidewalls of the first bond ring and on the sidewalls of the contact area, topmost surfaces of the spacers being below a topmost surface of the first bond ring.
