Patent ID: 8656740

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a glass-sealed package that comprises: a lid substrate and a base substrate made of glass material on at least one of which includes an array of cavities; and an electronic device housed in the cavities formed between the lid substrate and the base substrate, the method comprising: fabricating the lid substrate or the base substrate so as to form therein a plurality of street portions defined by at least a portion of the substrate where the cavities are not formed and where a first street portion extends in a linear direction and a second street portion extends in a direction orthogonal to the first street portion, wherein at least one of the first and second street portions overlies a central region of the lid substrate or the base substrate, wherein a width of the street portions in the orthogonal direction with respect to the linear direction is greater than a separation distance between cavities in the orthogonal direction in the array of cavities, and the array of cavities are formed in groups in which the cavities in each group are adjacent to each other in the linear direction and in the orthogonal direction, and wherein the street portions are formed in a configuration to suppress warping of the lid substrate or the base substrate; mating the lid substrate and the base substrate to house the electronic device in the cavities; and bonding the lid substrate and the base substrate to each other.
