I am looking for information on bonding or sealing of glass to glass. The glass
parts come in the form of polished flat substrates, and can be as thin as
microscope slides or as thick as photomask blanks (0.90 inch). The bond should
be direct--I would like to avoid using bonding films or adhesives. However,
glass-based bonding layers which can be deposited on one or both of the glass
substrates would be alright. The bonding can be done at any temperature
provided the glass parts are not deformed or distorted. The glass can be any of
the commonly available commercial glasses such as soda-lime, borosilicate, or
even fused silica. I would appreciate any information or leads.

Thanks,
