Zusammenfassung:A hermetic Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) package with a metal lid is investigated to prevent lid-off failure and improve its reliability during the precondition test. While the MEMS package benefits from miniaturization and low cost, a hermetic version is highly sensitive to internal pressure caused by moisture penetration and the reflow process, thus affecting its reliability. In this research, the finite element method is applied to analyze the contact stress between the metal lid and the silver epoxy by applying the cohesive zone model (CZM). Moreover, the red dye penetration test is applied, revealing a microcrack at the metal lid/silver epoxy interface. Further analyses indicate that the crack is caused by internal pressure. According to the experimental testing and simulation results, the silver epoxy material, the curing process, the metal lid geometry, and the bonding layer contact area can enhance the bonding strength between the metal lid and the substrate.
