Aarti, If your backside hole is for pressure compensation you can etch channels either in the glass or on the back of the chip. You have to make large enough channels or multiple channels to allow for dynamic range Shay Mizur Technology www.mizur.com -----Original Message----- From: mems-talk-bounces@memsnet.org [mailto:mems-talk-bounces@memsnet.org] On Behalf Of Aarti Ji Sent: Thursday, March 16, 2006 9:10 AM To: mems-talk@memsnet.org; mems-talk-request@memsnet.org Subject: [mems-talk] idea to avoid hole in glass wafer bonded with acousticsensor Hello All I am working on fabrication of MEMS acoustic sensor. we bond a glass wafer with hole by anodic bonding on backside of chip to compensate the acoustic pressure. Can anybody has idea to fabricate the chip in such a way so that there is no need to do hole in glass wafer. Thanks Aarti
