Highly moisture-sensitive electronic device element and method for fabrication utilizing vent holes or gaps
First Claim
1. A highly moisture-sensitive electronic device element having highly moisture-sensitive electronic devices comprising:
- a) a substrate containing two or more highly moisture-sensitive electronic devices;
b) an encapsulation enclosure encapsulating all of the highly moisture-sensitive electronic devices on said substrate;
c) sealing material positioned between said substrate and said encapsulation enclosure to form a complete seal between said substrate and said encapsulation enclosure around each highly moisture-sensitive electronic device or around groups of highly moisture-sensitive electronic devices wherein the sealing material is organic material, inorganic material, or combinations thereof that is melted and cooled or reaction cured and wherein the reaction curing includes reactions resulting from heat, radiation, mixing of two or more components, exposure to ambient moisture, removal of ambient oxygen, or combinations thereof; and
d) wherein the substrate or encapsulation enclosure, or both, contain vent holes and vent hole seal material in the vent holes.

Abstract
A highly moisture-sensitive element and method of making such element includes an encapsulation enclosure encapsulating all of the highly moisture-sensitive electronic devices on a substrate and a sealing material positioned between the substrate and the encapsulation enclosure to form a complete seal between the substrate and the encapsulation enclosure around each highly moisture-sensitive electronic device or around groups of highly moisture-sensitive electronic devices, wherein the substrate or encapsulation enclosure, or both, contain vent holes and vent hole seal material or wherein the seal material contains gaps prior to spacing the substrate and the encapsulation enclosure within a predetermined range and the gaps are filled in by spreading the sealing material.
