Hermetically sealing a device without a heat treating step and the resulting hermetically sealed device
First Claim
1. A method for hermetically sealing a device, said method comprising the steps of:
- positioning an un-encapsulated device in a desired location with respect to a deposition device; and
using the deposition device to deposit a sealing material over at least a portion of the un-encapsulated device to form a hermetically sealed device without having to perform a post-deposition heat treating step.

Abstract
A method for hermetically sealing a device without performing a heat treatment step and the resulting hermetically sealed device are described herein. The method includes the steps of: (1) positioning the un-encapsulated device in a desired location with respect to a deposition device; and (2) using the deposition device to deposit a sealing material over at least a portion of the un-encapsulated device to form a hermetically sealed device without having to perform a post-deposition heat treating step. For instance, the sealing material can be a Sn2+-containing inorganic oxide material or a low liquidus temperature inorganic material.
