    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of producing a vacuum insulated glazing unit, the vacuum insulated glazing unit comprises a first tempered glass pane and a second tempered glass pane arranged in parallel, having a surface of each pane opposing each other with pillars arranged as spacers between the opposed surfaces.
    A side frit material is peripherally arranged between the first glass pane and the second glass pane creating an internal void between the glass panes. An evacuation opening is provided in the first glass pane and the evacuation opening comprises an evacuation member, preferably a hollow tube, through which evacuation member the internal void can be evacuated. A top frit material made of lead-free solder frit material comprising a glass content, the top frit material being arranged around the evacuation opening and comprising a surface defining an exterior boundary of the top frit material between the outside of the vacuum insulated glazing unit and the inside of the top frit material, wherein the glass content thereof is substantially in an amorphous state only.
