Hybrid micropackaging technology for uncooled FPAs
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A novel concept for low-cost, wafer-level packaging of MEMS is proposed and applied to vacuum packaging of INO's 160x120 pixel uncooled bolometric focal plane arrays, FPAs, based on vanadium oxide as thermistor material. The wafer-scale fabrication of both metallic and ceramic micropackages is described. In the former case, a nickel tray composed of several tens of micropackages is electroplated by using a thick negative resist as micromold. In the latter case, micropackages are fabricated from up to 1 mm-thick, polished, laser machined alumina wafers equipped with solderable layers and solder seals. FPA dies and infrared windows are then soldered to the main tray by thermo-compression bonding. Contrary to the conventional wafer-to-wafer bonding approach, assembly and vacuum sealing steps are dissociated. For that purpose, each micropackage is equipped with a pump-out hole for outgassing prior to vacuum sealing. To monitor in-situ pressure changes within the sealed microcavity, micromachined pressure sensors were specifically designed for thermal conductance measurements. The initial characterization of dies after assembly in the metallic micropackage is presented.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
