Paper Abstract

A novel inverse approach based on an optical leak test is developed and implemented for in-situ measurement of gas diffusion properties of polymeric seals used in MEMS packages. Cavity pressure evolution during a leak test is documented as a function of time using laser-based interferometry, and the diffusion properties of a polymeric seal are subsequently determined from the measured pressure history. A comprehensive numerical procedure for the inverse analysis is established considering three diffusion regimes that characterize the leak behavior through a polymer seal. The method is demonstrated successfully to determine the helium diffusivity and solubility of the polymeric seal used in a package.
