Outline • Motivation: MEMS devices are 3D systems Packaging constraints Need new techniques for wafer level packaging (WLP) assessment
• Case study: non destructive testing of MEMS accelerometers Failure mechanisms IR microscopy X-ray tomography
• Advanced characterization of the hermeticity of WLP Issues with the MIL-STD approach Membrane deflection technique In situ quantification through FT-IR analysis

Packaging constraints • Protect the mechanical (moving) part from any contamination / damage • Control the atmosphere hermetically sealed cavity
• In case not achieved: performances loss, permanent failure… • MEMS process costs are balanced between the fabrication of the MEMS itself and its packaging • Need to develop or derive new techniques to assess the packaging

Resolution of both methods • Optical leak method by membrane deflection Depend on the geometry and mechanical properties of the membrane The minimal deflection that can be measured is determined by the accuracy of the interferometer Resolution increases with the bombing pressure and duration 2.10-12atm.cm3.s-1
• FT-IR spectroscopy method Depend on the size of the package The signal to noise ratio of the measurement by FTIR Resolution increases with the bombing pressure and duration

Conclusion • Take up the challenge of reliable wafer level packaging for MEMS devices! • New tools to be developed, others to be derived from the microelectronics equipments • Non destructive testing and failure localization are key issues for MEMS devices, as they are very sensitive to any ‘‘unpackaging’’ process • Direct measurement of the leak rates for micro-packages enables a reliability assessment of the device
