ABSTRACT:
A method for bonding one body to another, such as a laser device to a submount, uses a metallic layer composed of a Group VB metal, such as niobium, sandwiched between a non-metallic layer and solder layer formed by an approximate Au-Sn eutectic layer. Advantageously the Group VB layer is formed at a submount temperature of less than approximately 201.degree. C., advantageously less than approximately 125.degree. C., and preferably less than approximately 101.degree. C.--advantageously to a thickness in the approximate range 0.05 .mu.m to 0.2 .mu.m, or even thinner if pinholes do not develop. The non-metallic layer is located on one of the bodies, and the other body has a metallic coating advantageously capped with an Au layer.
