Abstract
A swage hermetic sealing of a MEMS or microdevice or nanodevice package using high force. A cutting and flowing edgeis formed on a package cover which is pressed into a mating , integral gasketon a package base. A material extension of the package coveris simultaneously folded under the package base to supply force maintenance for permanent hermaticity. The swage hermetic sealing of single or an array of covers to an extended wafer or substrate is accomplished by a cutting and flowing edge. Permanent force maintenance is achieved through a re-entrant cavityand annular ringon the wafer or substrate.
