Abstract

A cap wafer with patterned film formed thereon is etched through areas not covered by the patterned film to form a plurality of openings. Then, the cap wafer is bonded to a transparent wafer, and the cap wafer around the pattern film is segmented to form a plurality of cap structures. A device wafer with a plurality of devices and a plurality of contact pads electrically connected to the devices is subsequently provided. The cap structures and the device wafer are hermetically sealed to form a plurality of hermetic windows on the devices.
