  • Firing process for forming a multilayer glass-metal module
    Patent number: 3968193
    Abstract: A process for forming a glass interconnection package for semiconductor chips including the steps of depositing a first layer of glass material on a supporting substrate and then heating the layer in a first gaseous ambient which is soluble in the glass material. Immediately thereafter, the first gaseous ambient is replaced by a second gaseous ambient which is insoluble in the glass material and the glass layer is heated and then cooled down to ambient atmosphere.
