24. A method for producing a micro electro-mechanical device package, comprising the steps of:
-
forming a thermally decomposable sacrificial layer on a substrate of a micro electro-mechanical device, the sacrificial layer encapsulating a portion of the micro electro-mechanical device;
forming a protective layer around the sacrificial layer; and
thermally decomposing the sacrificial layer, wherein decomposed molecules of the sacrificial layer permeate through the protective layer, and wherein a gas cavity is formed where the thermally decomposable sacrificial layer was formed. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50)
