US Patent 7245009 Hermetic cavity package

A packaging structure (10) is provided having a hermetic sealed cavity for microelectronic applications. The packaging structure (10) comprises first and second packaging layers (12, 28) forming a cavity. Two liquid crystal polymer (LCP) layers (16, 22) are formed between and hermetically seal the first and second packaging layers (12, 28). First and second conductive strips (18, 20) are formed between the LCP layers (16, 22) and extend into the cavity. An electronic device (24) is positioned within the cavity and is coupled to the first and second conductive strips (18, 20).
