Abstract
A MEMS device package comprises a substrate with a MEMS device formed thereon, a backplane, a seal, and an inactive desiccant within the package. The desiccant is activated after assembly of the package by exposure to an environmental change or an activating substance. A method of packaging a MEMS device comprises activating a desiccant and contacting a substrate with the MEMS device formed thereon, a seal, and a backplane, wherein the desiccant is disposed on the substrate or the backplane.
