Abstract

Optical MEMS chips 315 are assembled on a CMOS semiconductor wafer substrate 310 comprising integrated circuits 312 and interconnects 314. A transparent cover 337 having standoff portions 324 is mounted on the semiconductor wafer and seals the individual chips. The assembly can then be subdivided into individual device packages. An optical stop or spatial filter 825 may be arranged on the transparent cover (figure 8).
