Through-wafer interconnects for high degree of freedom MEMS deformable mirrors

The development of an assembly and packaging process for MEMS deformable mirrors (DMs) with through wafer via (TWV) interconnects is presented. The approach consists of attaching a DM die with high-density TWV electrostatic actuator interconnects to an interposer substrate that fans out these connections for interfacing to conventional packaging technology.
