## Abstract

An air cavity package having a supplemental heat generator for generating heat and a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure within the air cavity package. The supplemental heat generator may be maintained at a constant or variable temperature. The supplemental heat generator may be selectively activated based on a predetermined parameter by a user or by a processor. The supplemental heat generator may be an RF and or other chip capable of generating heat or a conductive wire.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An air cavity package comprising a supplemental heat generator for generating heat and a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure within the air cavity package.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

An air cavity package in accordance with claim 1, wherein the supplemental heat generator is maintained at a constant temperature.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

An air cavity package in accordance with claim 1, wherein the supplemental heat generator is selectively activated based on a predetermined parameter by a user or by a processor.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

An air cavity package in accordance with claim 1, wherein the supplemental heat generator is selectively activated based on a pre-determined parameter.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

An air cavity package in accordance with claim 4, wherein the pre-determined parameter comprises a moisture level.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

An air cavity package in accordance with claim 1, wherein the supplemental heat generator is at least one of an RF and chip capable of generating heat.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

An air cavity package in accordance with claim 1, wherein the supplemental heat generator is a conductive wire.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

An air cavity package in accordance with claim 1, wherein the air cavity package comprises a housing and a lid and a hole in at least one of the housing and the lid.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)
