Abstract

A process for encapsulating a micro-device in a cavity formed between a first and a second substrate is provided, including producing the micro-device in or on the first substrate; attaching and securing the second substrate to the first substrate, thereby forming the cavity in which the micro-device is placed; producing at least one hole through one of the two substrates, leading into the cavity opposite a portion of the other of the two substrates; depositing at least one getter material portion through the hole on said portion of the other of the two substrates; and hermetically sealing the cavity by closing the hole.
