Abstract

See full text

The disclosed technology generally relates to packaging a quartz crystal, and more particularly to bonding a quartz crystal using sintering silver paste. In one aspect, a method of packaging a quartz crystal comprises attaching a quartz crystal to a package substrate using one or more silver paste layers comprising silver particles. The method additionally comprises sintering the silver paste in a substantially oxygen-free atmosphere and at a sintering temperature sufficient to cause sintering of the silver particles. The sintering is such that the quartz crystal exhibits a positive drift in resonance frequency of the quartz crystal over time. The method further comprises hermetically sealing the quartz crystal in the package substrate.
