Component including two semiconductor elements between which at least two hermetically tightly sealed cavities having different internal pressures are formed and method for manufacturing such a component
First Claim
1. A component comprising:
- at least two semiconductor elements connected to one another via at least one structured connecting layer;
wherein at least two hermetically tightly sealed cavities are formed between the at least two semiconductor elements, and different defined internal pressures prevail in the at least two hermetically tightly sealed cavities, and wherein at least a first one of the cavities is sealed by a circumferential bonding frame in the connecting layer, and wherein at least a second one of the cavities is at least partially sealed by a welding joint between the at least two semiconductor elements.

Abstract
For the targeted influencing of the internal pressure within a cavity between two elements of a component, a getter material or an outgassing material is situated in an additional cavity between the two elements. After the two elements are bonded to one another, the additional cavity is still to be joined via a connecting opening to the cavity. The getter material or the outgassing material is then activated so that gasses are bound in the additional cavity and in the connected cavity, or an outgassing takes place. Only when the sought internal pressure has established itself in the connected cavity is the connecting opening to the additional cavity closed. In this way, the getter material or the outgassing material is only used for establishing a defined internal pressure, but no longer has any influence on the internal pressure within the cavity during ongoing operation of the component.

5. A method for manufacturing a component having at least two semiconductor elements connected to one another in such a way that at least two hermetically tightly sealed cavities are formed between the two semiconductor elements, in which cavities different defined internal pressures prevail, the method comprising:
-
providing at least one of the two surfaces of the two semiconductor elements to be joined with at least one structured connecting layer; and subsequently establishing a bond connection between the two semiconductor elements via the structured connecting layer, wherein at least one of the two cavities is hermetically tightly sealed at a predefined ambient pressure; providing at least one additional cavity; providing at least one of the two surfaces of the two semiconductor elements to be joined with one of a getter material or an outgassing material in the area of the additional cavity; structuring at least the connecting layer in such a way that at least one connecting opening as a pressure connection is provided between the additional cavity and at least one connected cavity after the establishing of the bond connection; activating the one of the getter material or the outgassing material after establishing the bond connection so that gasses in the additional cavity and the connected cavity are bound or an outgassing takes place; and closing the connecting opening when the sought internal pressure has been established in the at least one connected cavity. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
