1. A MEMS package, comprising:
- a support base;
a MEMS cap forming a cavity with the support base, the cavity containing a plurality of MEMS actuators disposed on the support base therein;
an ambient port formed through the MEMS cap; and
a lid arrangement bonded to the MEMS cap, to hermetically close the ambient port;
a recess formed in the lid, the recess being configured to be in fluid communication with the ambient port; and
a contaminant absorbing material disposed in the recess.
