Abstract

A microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) mirror package assembly includes: a MEMS wafer including a stator portion and a rotor portion that includes a MEMS mirror configured to rotate about an axis, wherein the MEMS mirror is suspended over a back cavity, wherein the MEMS wafer defines a first portion of the back cavity; a spacer wafer, wherein the backside of the spacer wafer is bonded to the frontside of the MEMS wafer, wherein the spacer wafer defines a first portion of a front cavity arranged over the MEMS mirror; a transparent cover wafer, wherein the backside of the transparent cover wafer is bonded to the frontside of the spacer wafer, wherein the transparent cover wafer includes a transparent dome structure arranged over the MEMS mirror and defining a second portion of the front cavity. The center of the MEMS mirror is arranged substantially at a vertex of the transparent dome structure.
