Hermetic package for high cte mismatch

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a hermetic package capable of handling a high coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) mismatch configuration. The disclosed hermetic package includes a metal base and multiple segments that are discrete from each other. Herein, a gap exists between every two adjacent ceramic wall segments and is sealed with a connecting material. The ceramic wall segments with the connecting material form a ring wall, where the gap between every two adjacent ceramic wall segments is located at a corner of the ring wall. The metal base is either surrounded by the ring wall or underneath the ring wall.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
