Abstract

Optoelectronic MEMS devices 350, for example, micro-mirror chips are mounted on a silicon CMOS wafer 344 and hermetically sealed in an inert gas environment within a recess of a transparent lid 352 bonded to the wafer. Individual devices are separated by subdividing the wafer/lid structure.
