Abstract
Various embodiments of a hermetic assembly and a method of forming such assembly are disclosed. The hermetic assembly includes a dielectric substrate having a first major surface and a second major surface, a patterned layer connected to the first major surface of the dielectric substrate by a laser bond, and a ferrule having a body and a flange extending from the body. The flange is welded to a welding portion of the patterned layer that is disposed between the flange and the first major surface of the dielectric substrate such that the ferrule is hermetically sealed to the dielectric substrate.
