Abstract
A mesoscale microelectromechanical system (MEMS) package for a micro-machine. The mesoscale micro-machine is formed on a printed circuit board (10) at the same time and of the same materials as the mesoscale micro-machine package. Both the micro-machine and the package have a first metal layer (12, 16), an insulating member (22, 26) formed on the first metal layer, and a second metal layer (32, 36) situated on the insulating layer. The package consists of a perimeter wall surrounding the micro-machine and a low-flow capping adhesive layer (40). The first metal layers of both the micro-machine and the package are formed in the same process sequence, and the insulating layers of both the micro-machine and the package are formed in the same process sequence, and the second metal layers of both the micro-machine and the package are formed in the same process sequence. The low-flow capping adhesive secures an optional cover (46) on the package to provide an environmental seal.
