Abstract
A microdevice assembly includes a miniature fluid processing device of silicon with a fluid orifice therein. A high-silica glass attachment member sealed to the device has an aperture with a narrow portion aligned with the orifice and a conical portion with a conical wall diverging from the narrow portion. A tube with a soft graphite ferrule thereon is inserted into the conical portion. A rigid package member includes a base supporting the device, a cover disposed proximate the attachment member, and side walls connecting the base and the cover. A threaded opening through the cover is aligned with the aperture. An externally threaded nut with a hole therethrough is fitted slidingly over the tube, and is tightened into the threaded opening so as to sealingly compress the ferrule between the wall and the tube.
