Hermeticity is the single biggest lever for reliability in metal-ceramic packages. Even trace moisture or reactive gases can corrode leads, drift optics, and poison die attach—leading to intermittent faults that only appear after shipment. The right test stack prevents those surprises.
READ MORESelecting an opto-electronic package is as critical as choosing the die itself. The right form factor protects the device, manages heat, preserves optical alignment, and simplifies production. Use this guide to narrow your options quickly and confidently.
READ MOREPrototypes prove feasibility; production proves reliability and cost. Moving hermetic packages from bench builds to repeatable volume runs requires disciplined choices in materials, seals, tooling, test depth, and documentation. Here is a practical roadmap to scale without losing hermeticity.
READ MOREHermetic electronic packaging keeps moisture and contaminants out of critical assemblies for aerospace, medical, defense, energy, and telecom applications. Quotes vary widely because many cost drivers hide behind material choices, process flows, and assurance requirements. Here’s how suppliers actua
