Abstract

A method of fabricating LCOS devices and testing them at the wafer-scale to identify known-bad dice, to facilitate completing fabrication of only known-good dice. A wafer-scale transparent electrode glass is temporarily placed over the wafer, and liquid crystal material is injected into the LCOS device cavities through fill holes extending through the wafer. After removing the glass and separating the wafer into dice, only the good dice have their die-scale glass attached, liquid crystal material re-injected, solder bumps affixed, and substrate attached.
