Systems and methods for forming a seal between members of an assembly are disclosed. In one embodiment, a seal is formed between a first member and a second member by creating a near vacuum with respect to the members to be sealed. The vacuum results in a uniformly applied clamping force to the members thereby creating a reliable seal. A sealing member (such as solder) is positioned between first and second members and the resulting assembly is mechanically positioned such that heat can then be applied to melt the solder. Concurrently, a vacuum is created within the assembly, thereby allowing the externally applied mechanical pressure to be relaxed. The created vacuum allows the members to seal together without externally applied forces.
