A high temperature, non-cavity package for non-axial electronics is designed using a glass ceramic compound with that is capable of being assembled and operating continuously at temperatures greater that 300-400° C. Metal brazes, such as silver, silver colloid or copper, are used to connect the semiconductor die, lead frame and connectors. The components are also thermally matched such that the packages can be assembled and operating continuously at high temperatures and withstand extreme temperature variations without the bonds failing or the package cracking due to a thermal mismatch.
