A method of fabricating an apparatus including a sealed cavity and an
apparatus embodying the method is disclosed. To fabricate the apparatus,
a device chip including a substrate and at least one circuit element on
the substrate is fabricated. Also, a cap is fabricated. The cap is
attached to the device chip using single phase metal alloy to achieve
sealed cavity over the circuit element. The single phase metal alloy
allows the cap to be diffusion bonded to the device chip at a higher
diffusivity thus allowing diffusion at a lower temperature, lower
pressure, shorter period, or a combination of these.
