Handheld, portable and wireless products continue to be driven by the need for reduction in size and weight while at the same time meeting the demand for increased functionality and performance. Component integration and the miniaturization of the electronic assemblies enables manufacturers to create these smaller, lighter, high performance products. Die assemblies, whether implemented as chip-on-board or flip chip, and high density substrates provide the required system performance and integration advantages. From design to manufacture, understanding the benefits and trade-offs of utilizing unpackaged semiconductor die and high performance substrates will result in maximized system solutions. This seminar focuses on the use of semiconductor die, the assembly processes, substrates and the materials directly associated with the manufacture of multi-die assemblies. The presenters analyze the current trends dictating the use of unpackaged semiconductors, die processing issues and the use of LTCC substrates to enable development of multi-die assemblies. Issues related to the specifications of die products, the processing, key materials, implementation of die, and substrate options are addressed. In this seminar references will be made to standard industry practices without detailed background explanations of basic principles; therefore attendees should have a basic understanding of semiconductor supply, die assembly and substrate technology. This seminar is suggested for engineers and engineering managers.
Seminar Outline
- Session 1: Technology trends and die processing issues
- Session 2: LTCC substrate technology for COB and flip chip applications
