Abstract

A tightness testing method for a MEMS or small encapsulated component, the MEMS or small component being housed in a cavity of a carrier. The cavity being sealed and containing a gas having a different density to the density it would have if subjected to the pressure of the medium outside the cavity. The method measures the density of the gas contained in the cavity.
