Abstract
A chip mounted enclosure (“CME”) comprises a base formed by an integrated circuit chip, a transducer element disposed on the integrated circuit chip, a side piece surrounding the transducer element that is coupled to the base, and a top piece coupled to the side piece. A method of making a CME comprises mounting a transducer element to a planar surface of an integrated circuit chip, where the planar surface forms a base of the CME. A side piece is fabricated to surround the transducer element. A top piece of the CME is placed on the side piece. Individual CMEs can be fabricated from a wafer assembly, where transducer elements, each respectively mounted to an integrated circuit wafer having corresponding integrated circuit chips, are individually surrounded by a side piece structure that is bonded to the integrated circuit wafer. Individual CMEs are formed by singulating the wafer assembly.
