A chip-scale packaged IC is made by bonding one or more singulated die chips (from an IC wafer) to a common substrate, such as a single cap wafer (or a portion thereof) and cutting (singulating) the substrate to yield individual, chip-scale packaged ICs. Alternatively, each die chip is bonded to an individual, pre-cut cap. Electrically conductive paths extend through the cap wafer, between wafer contact pads on the surface of the cap and electrical contact points on the IC wafer. Optionally, the cap wafer contains one or more die. The IC wafer can be fabricated according to a different technology than the cap wafer, thereby forming a hybrid chip-scale packaged IC. Optionally, additional "upper-level" cap wafers (with or without die) can be stacked to form a "multi-story" IC.
