ABSTRACT:
A device such as a laser is bonded to a submount such as diamond by a process in which the submount is successively coated with an adhesion layer such as titanium, a barrier layer such as nickel, and a gold-tin solder-metallization composite layer formed by sequential deposition on the barrier layer a number (preferably greater than seven) of multiple alternating layers of gold and tin, the last layer being gold having a thickness that is equal to approximately one-half or less than the thickness of the (next-to-last) tin layer that it contacts immediately beneath it. The bonding is performed under applied heat that is sufficient to melt the solder-metallization composite layer. Prior to the bonding, (in addition to the submount) the device advantageously is coated with gold and optionally with a similar gold-tin solder-metallization composite layer, at least at locations where it comes in contact with the gold-tin solder-metallization composite layer.
