METHODS OF FABRICATING VACUUM HOUSINGS WITH HERMETIC SOLDER SEALS USING CAPILLARY SOLDER WICKS

Description

Hermetically sealed electronic devices and methods for fabricating the hermetically sealed electronic devices are provided. The devices include a solder sealed vacuum housing. The solder seal is formed using a solder wick having an external solder reservoir. When the reservoir is filled with molten solder, the solder is drawn via capillary action into a precisely defined narrow gap between two components of the housing where it forms an airtight and vacuum-tight seal.
