Abstract
A metallization system for metallurgically bonding a semiconductor die to metallic conducting slugs as terminals at the same time, and at the same temperature, that a surrounding glass sleeve is hermetically sealed to the conducting slugs for forming a zener diode, for example, is disclosed. The metallization system comprises a combination of aluminum, tin and palladium, for bonding to molybdenum, the aluminum being vapor deposited followed by a vapor co-deposition of aluminum and tin and further followed by a vapor deposited layer of palladium. A method of making a device is disclosed wherein the die, two metal slugs of molybdenum and a preformed high temperature sealing glass are assembled together and subjected to a time-temperature cycle which includes a rapid rise to a high temperature at which metallurgical bonding of the die to the metal slugs and hermetic sealing of the glass to the metal slugs take place in a short time interval followed by rapid cooling of the assembly to a temperature slightly below the eutectic of aluminum and silicon.
