Hermetic cell and method for producing same

摘要

A hermetic cell excellent in weld strength is provided. The hermetic cell includes an can having an opening and a seal for sealing the opening of the can. A portion of engagement of the seal with the opening of the can is welded with a high energy beam, thereby hermetically sealing the can. At least one portion of a melt mark resulting from the high energy beam welding has a top surface having a lowermost point lower in a direction of a bottom of the can than a lowermost point of a top surface of an adjacent portion of the melt mark. The at least one portion of the melt mark has a bottom surface having a lowermost point lower in the direction of the bottom of the can than an lowermost point of a bottom surface of the adjacent portion of the melt mark.
