Zusammenfassung:A complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) device embedded with micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) components in a MEMS region is disclosed. The MEMS components, for example, are infrared (IR) thermosensors. The MEMS sensors are integrated on the CMOS device monolithically after CMOS processing. For example, the MEMS sensors are formed over a BEOL dielectric of a CMOS device. The device is encapsulated with a CMOS compatible IR transparent cap to hermetically seal the MEMS sensors in the MEMS region.
