FEATURES
The Back End Process Soft Solder Die Attach
Power microelectronics devices generally are used in automotive packages in which the current-flow density is high. If not dissipated properly, the heat generated by high current densities can damage the package.
Ltcc On Metal.html LTCC on Metal
Designers of today's high-performance components, modules, circuit boards and systems with higher operating frequencies and thermal management requirements face difficult design problems, many of them associated with circuit and system packaging.
Green Mold Compound.html Green Mold Compound
With the electronics industry driving for cost reduction, miniaturization and functional integration, the conventional integrated circuit (IC) package design is forced to migrate to finer wire bonding pad pitches, from 90 to 60 µm, or even 35 µm staggered pitch
