Abstract

A method for assembling a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) device that includes a micro-machine is described. The method comprises forming the micro-machine on a die, the die having a top surface and a bottom surface, providing a plurality of die bonding pedestals on a surface of a housing, and mounting at least one of the top surface of the die and components of the micro-machine to the die bonding pedestals such that a bottom surface of the die at least partially shields components of the micro-machine from loose gettering material.
