摘要: Several microsystem applications require hermetic or semi- packages. It is for this reason mandatory to be able check the hermeticity of these The standard tests, using gross leak and fine leak, work very well large cavities, but might give erroneous results small cavities as typically used MEMS. We discussed different alternative test methods.
