1. A microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device, comprising:
- a substrate defining a port;
a cap coupled to the substrate such that the substrate and the cap cooperatively define an interior cavity;
a microelectromechanical component disposed within the interior cavity and coupled to the substrate such that the microelectromechanical component is positioned over the port to at least partially isolate the port from the interior cavity; and
a non-continuous tag coupled to the substrate and the cap, wherein the non-continuous tag is positioned at one or more discrete locations along a periphery of the cap to secure the cap to the substrate.

Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, and methods for manufacturing a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device. The MEMS device includes a substrate, a cap, a microelectromechanical component, and a tag. The substrate defines a port. The cap is coupled to the substrate. The substrate and the cap cooperatively define an interior cavity. The microelectromechanical component is disposed within the interior cavity and coupled to the substrate such that the microelectromechanical component is positioned over the port to at least partially isolate the port from the interior cavity. The tag is coupled to the substrate and the cap. The tag is positioned to secure the cap to the substrate.
