Abstract
MEMS gyroscopes are easily damaged and contaminated in dicing, test, transportation and storage due to their fragile movable structures and small feature size. A wafer-level protective technique is developed by directly bonding a glass cap on the fabricated gyroscope. The protective packaging is based on the silicon glass anodic-bonding and deep etching release (SGADER) process. Preliminary testing is carried out to study the reliability and yield of the protective packaging technique, and the results show that a great improvement has been achieved
