An integrated getter structure and a method for its formation and
installation in a circuit module enclosure (24). The integrated structure
includes a hydrogen getter structure (10) and selected quantities of a
material (20) that is formulated to provide both a particle getter
function and an RF absorber function. In one embodiment, the material
(20) is placed in discrete quantities over the hydrogen getter structure
(10). In another embodiment, the hydrogen getter structure (10) is formed
over a sheet of the material (20) and is provided with apertures (30) to
expose the material (20).
