Abstract
Today, the most common way of laser sealing is using a glass frit paste and screen printer. Laser sealing using glass frit paste has some problems, such as pores, nonuniform height, imperfect hermetic sealing, etc. In order to overcome these problems, sealing using fiber types of sealant is attractive for packaging devices. In this work, (70-x)V2O5-5ZnO-22BaO-3B2O3-xM(PO3)n glasses (mol%) incorporated with xM(PO3)n concentration (where M = Mg, Al, n = 2, 3, respectively) were fabricated and their thermal, thermomechanical, and structural properties were investigated. Most importantly, for this type of sealing, the glass should have a thermal stability (ΔT) of ≥80 °C and the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) between the glass and panel should be 1.0 ppm/°C. The highest thermal stability ΔT of the order of 93.2 °C and 112.9 °C was obtained for the 15 mol% of Mg(PO3)2 and Al(PO3)3 doped glasses, respectively. This reveals that the bond strength and connectivity is more strongly improved by trivalent Al(PO3)3. The CTE of a (70-x)V2O5-5ZnO-22BaO-3B2O3-xAl(PO3)3 glass system (mol%) (where x = 5–15, mol%) is in the range of 9.5–15.5 (×10−6/K), which is comparable with the CTE (9–10 (×10−6/K)) of commercial DSSC glass panels. Based on the results, the studied glass systems are considered to be suitable for laser sealing using fiber types of sealant.

Laser hermetic sealing is an excellent way to protect delicate components in harsh environments for reliable packaging [1,2]
The glass transition temperature (Tg), glass thermal stability (∆T), the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), and structural properties with respect to metaphosphate contents were determined for the purpose of fiber types of sealant

Summary
Laser hermetic sealing is an excellent way to protect delicate components in harsh environments for reliable packaging [1,2]. Furnace-based thermal sealing and laser-assisted sealing using glass frit have been popular processes until now. The glass transition temperature (Tg), glass thermal stability (∆T), the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), and structural properties with respect to metaphosphate contents were determined for the purpose of fiber types of sealant. For the laser sealing process, we selected workable glass compositions with a low glass transition temperature of
