Patent number: 4666871Abstract: A new type of glass, for example for use as a TL-envelope glass which as regards phosphor poisoning and Hg penetration has better properties than the present TL-envelope glasses. Phosphor poisoning occurs in particular upon fusing electrodes and bending and severing and bridging, respectively, during the manufacture of SL and PL lamps.Phosphor poisoning is controlled by incorporating little or no Na.sub.2 O in the glass. In order to nevertheless reach good processing properties, a combination of Li.sub.2 O and K.sub.2 O is used in the glass. The addition of only Li.sub.2 O or only K.sub.2 O does not result in a suitable glass.Hg penetration is controlled by the presence of a large quantity of alkaline earth metal oxides in the glass.The glass according to the invention has a good light transmission. A lamp comprising a lamp envelope of a glass according to the invention shows only a small luminous decline during operation of the lamp.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 1984Date of Patent: May 19, 1987Assignee: U.S. Philips CorporationInventors: Gijsbertus A.

Patent number: 4459166Abstract: A silver metallizing paste for attachment of silicon semi-conductive devices in lead-frame packages, specifically ceramic packages, which is less expensive than a gold preform but useable in hermetic packages, and provides better electrical and thermal conductivity, and higher bond strength, than silver polyimides. From 25 to 95% of silver is blended with a low-melting glass, preferably one having 95-96% PbO, and a paste or ink is formed with a suitable vehicle at 75-85% solids. Use of the paste follows conventional practice. Selection of Ag:glass ratio depends on the type of die bonding to be used. The paste is particularly useful in MOS technology, where low contact resistance is required, and also finds applications as a solder substitute and bonding chip capacitors. It is most advantageous in attachment of larger-area integrated circuits in that stress cracking associated with the gold-silicon eutectic is avoided.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 1983Date of Patent: July 10, 1984Assignee: Johnson Matthey Inc.Inventors: Raymond L.

Patent number: 4401766Abstract: Acid and alkali oxides are smelted for an extended period of time at a first elevated temperature above their melting temperatures. The smelted mixture is then quenched in water and fritted. The fritted mixture is then disposed between a pair of members which are to be hermetically sealed relative to each other. The fritted mixture is then at least partially fused in an oxygen atmosphere at a second temperature below the first temperature for a relatively short period of time. The at least partially fused mixture is then rapidly cooled in air. In this way, the mixture is provided with a partially amorphous state and a partially crystalline state. The crystals in the mixture are disposed primarily at the borders of at least a particular one of the members to be sealed.The mixture hermetically seals the two members, is resistant to acids and alkalis and inhibits the propagation of cracks.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 1982Date of Patent: August 30, 1983Assignee: James C.
