Abstract
The present invention relates to the formation of a macrocomposite body for use as an electronic package or container. The macrocomposite body is formed by spontaneously infiltrating a permeable mass of filler material or a preform with molten matrix metal and bonding the spontaneously infiltrated material to at least one second material such as a ceramic or ceramic containing body or a metal or metal containing body. Moreover, prior to infiltration, the filler material or preform is placed into contact with at least a portion of a second material such that after infiltration of the filler material or preform by molten matrix metal, the infiltrated material is bonded to said second material, thereby forming a macrocomposite body. The macrocomposite body may then be coated by techniques according to the present invention to enhance its performance or bonding capabilities.
