Produced is a metal ball which suppresses an emitted dose. Contained are the steps of melting a pure metal by heating the pure metal at a temperature which is higher than a boiling point of an impurity to be removed, higher than a melting point of the pure metal, and lower than a boiling point of the pure metal, the pure metal containing a U content of 5 ppb or less, a Th content of 5 ppb or less, purity of 99.9% or more and 99.995% or less, and a Pb or Bi content or a total content of Pb and Bi of 1 ppm or more, and the pure metal having the boiling point higher than the boiling point at atmospheric pressure of the impurity to be removed; and sphering the molten pure metal in a ball.

A new packaging method for a wide range of MEMS for application on both the wafer and device scale. Titanium is used as the packaging material and both silicon and titanium MEMS devices are integrated on to a titanium substrate. A Nd:YAG pulsed laser is used to micro-weld the titanium cap to the substrate. A three-dimensional time dependent model of heat flow during laser beam welding is presented. The heat transfer and parametric design capabilities of COMSOL were employed for this purpose. Model calculations are compared and calibrated with experimental results of pulsed laser welds. The functionality and hermiticity of the proposed packaging was evaluated by packaging a self actuated Veeco Instrument AFM cantilever tip. The experimental measurements show that the resonance frequency and quality factor of the device stay the same before and after packaging and the applied technique has no effect on the device.
