PATTERNED PACKAGING WAFER
Exactly adapted to customer requirements, PLANOPTIK’s packaging wafers impress with their extremely high accuracy.
Packaging wafers made of glass – PLANOPTIK’s product range
PLANOPTIK manufactures wafers for wafer level packaging from various types of glass, quartz, alkaline free glass and glass-silicon compound materials. Depending on customer specifications, PLANOPTIK’s packaging wafer can be patterned with through holes, cavities, trenches / channels or whatever a customer needs.

Application for packaging wafers
PLANOPTIK has been using its expert knowledge in processing glass for wafer level packaging of MEMS for many years. With unique manufacturing processes, the wafer manufacturer is able to generate high accuracy and low tolerances.
Using the wafer level packaging approach for pressure sensor manufacturing
Blank glass wafers are used as substrates to manufacture MEMS sensors and membranes whereas patterned wafers, so-called packaging wafers with cavities or through holes, are used to encapsulate the pressure sensor die. Cavities can be used to encapsulate a reference pressure, and through holes connect the membrane to the environment to enable pressure measurement. The encapsulation is done by using a wafer level packaging (WLP) approach. Often, anodic bonding between the sensor from silicon and cap-wafers from glass is used to create a hermetic encapsulation. Therefore, PLANOPTIK uses cte adapted materials. After packaging, the dies are separated by dicing the wafer.
