1. A Micro-Electromechanical System (MEMS) device, comprising:
- a substrate having first and second major surfaces;
a plurality of conductively filled vias located within a portion of the substrate;
a first conductive layer over the first major surface of the substrate, a first portion of the first conductive layer electrically connected to a first of the plurality of conductively filled vias; and
a monolithic MEMS component integral with the substrate having a control electrode formed on the substrate and extending from the substrate and overlying a second via of the plurality of conductively filled vias.

Abstract
A Micro-Electromechanical Systems (MEMS) device (100) having conductively filled vias (141). A MEMS component (124) is formed on a substrate (110). The substrate has conductively filled vias (140) extending therethrough. The MEMS component (124) is electrically coupled to the conductively filled vias (140). The MEMS component (124) is covered by a protective cap (150). An electrical interconnect (130) is formed on a bottom surface of the substrate (110) for transmission of electrical signals to the MEMS component (124), rather than using wirebonds.
