MEMS devices are microscale systems which are fabricated using micro fabrication techniques. MEMS systems suggest many different functional devices for both military applications and consumer products. The packaging of MEMS devices is one of the most challenging parts of MEMS commercialization. Each type of MEMS device may need special operation environment. Therefore, the packaging of MEMS devices must provide required hermeticity in order to keep the special environment throughout the device's lifetime. Also another aspect of the production of MEMS devices is the miniaturization of the devices. The die level packaging of the MEMS devices is very costly. The use of wafer-level-packaging (WLP) processes enables the packaging of the devices with a single bonding process before the wafer is diced to have individual devices. In this thesis work materials and material systems and processes which enables the wafer level packaging of MEMS devices will be investigated.

Development and Modeling of a Wafer-Level BCB Packaging Method for Capacitive RF MEMS Switches Comart, Ilker; Cetintepe, Cagri; Sagiroglu, Ebru; Demir, Şimşek; Akın, Tayfun (2019-08-01) This paper presents a novel wafer-level packaging method for shunt, capacitive RF MEMS switches using BCB as the adhesive interlayer. Fabrication and electrical characteristics of the proposed package were initially evaluated for 50 Omega CPW lines. Microwave measurements of these packaged test structures were fitted to a circuit model, which was later employed to optimize the package for RF MEMS switches. The proposed packaging method was next successfully integrated with an in-house RF MEMS fabrication pr...
Gold-tin eutectic bonding for hermetic packaging of MEMS devices with vertical feedthroughs Torunbalci, Mustafa Mert; Demir, Eyup Can; Donmez, Inci; Alper, Said Emre; Akın, Tayfun (2014-11-05) This paper presents a new method for wafer-level hermetic encapsulation of MEMS devices using low-temperature (280 to 300°C) Au-Sn eutectic bonding applied to the recently developed advanced MEMS (A-MEMS) process of the METU-MEMS Research Center, which uses an SOI cap wafer with vertical feedthroughs that does not need any complex via-refill or trench-refill process steps. The Au-Sn eutectic bonding process is achieved at 300°C with a bond pressure of 2 MPa by using a sealing alloy thickness less than 1.5 μ...
Investigation of Defects in CZT Single Crystals Yaşar, Bengisu; Kabukçuoğlu, Merve; Ergunt, Yasin; Parlak, Mehmet; Turan, Raşit; Kalay, Yunus Eren (2017-03-02) The II-IV compound semiconductor CZT single crystal is a highly prominent material for the fabrication of various industrial applications such as gamma ray/X-ray detectors, electro-optic modulators and solar cells. Often, CZT single crystals suffer from various crystallographic defects emerged during crystal growth and post-growth cooling processes. In the scope of this research, the nano scale defects were investigated by using HRTEM. Single crystalline CZT crystals were grown using a three-zone vertical B...
Design of Zeolite Modified Electrodes and Their Influence on Biosensor Performance Ozansoy Kasap, Berna; Akata Kurç, Burcu (null; 2016-11-27) Enzyme-based biosensors have been of intense investigation and field-effect transistor (FET)-based sensors are one of the widely produced, miniaturized silicon-based semiconductor devices used to quantify ion concentrations in the analyte solution. Overall, current research has focused on enhancement of the sensitivity, detection limit, selectivity and the storage stability of these electrochemical biosensors. For this purpose, variety of modification methods on electrochemical biosensor surfaces is propose...
DEVELOPMENT OF POLYMER MATRIX COMPOSITES WITH TUNABLE DIELECTRIC PROPERTIES Özkaragöz, Nadire Nazlı; Dericioğlu, Arcan Fehmi; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2022-2-08) Ferroelectric materials are used in different applications because of their superior electrical and dielectric properties. Ferroelectric materials are polarized when an electrical field is applied to the material. This spontaneous polarization continues even if an electrical field is removed. BST (Barium Strontium Titanate) is one of the attractive ferroelectric materials which has a high dielectric constant and low dielectric loss tangent (tanδ). High dielectric constant and low loss tangent are necessary ...
