The Design - Process Interface: is the Boundary Distinct?
One of the challenges you'll have to address if you use an external fab to make your parts - and most MEMS product companies do use external fabs - is to get the interaction between product and process right. This should be easy, right? You, the product designer, state your requirements, and the fab tells you whether it has processes that can deliver your product to you.

Electroplating of AuSn eutectic solder for MEMS packaging
In the drive to reduce packaging cost, wafer level packaging has become an important part of MEMS manufacturing. There are different methods for performing wafer level packaging such as fusion bonding, anodic bonding andeutectic bonding to name a few. Gold-tin (AuSn) solder is routinely used for eutectic bonding. AuSn eutectic solders are unique material for wafer level packaging, mainly due to their excellent thermal properties, mechanical strength and relatively low melting temperature, which makes them an attractive choice for hermetic sealing.
Application methods for deposition of AuSn solders for MEMS wafer level packaging is mostly concentrated on costly PVD methods such as evaporation and sputtering techniques. However, electroplating is an economic, alternate deposition option that allows for high placement and composition accuracy. Micralyne has exclusive right to a patented process for electroplating of AuSn solder alloy, at compositions from 10 to 40 Sn (wt%), including commercially important Au-20Sn eutectic composition.
