Abstract

A flexible hermetic sealing and method for making the same. Electronic components are coated with an adhesive such as an epoxy, and then a metallic layer consisting of gold, silver, nickel, or another metal is deposited thereon. The metal may be deposited by, for example, any well-known evaporating, sputtering or plating technique. The resultant seal is truly hermetic, and is suitable for use on individual electronic or optical components on a chip.
