Die attachment

AppHcations for electroplated indium coatings include indium bump bonding for shicon semiconductor die attachment to packaging substrates and miscehaneous appHcations where the physical or chemical properties of indium metal are desired as a plated deposit. 

Another major type of coating process is wire covering. The tremendous demand for insulated cables in the electrical industry means that large tonnages of plastic are used in this application. Basically a bare wire, which may be heated or have its surface primed, is drawn through a special die attached... 

The acoustic microscopy s primary application to date has been for failure analysis in the multibillion-dollar microelectronics industry. The technique is especially sensitive to variations in the elastic properties of semiconductor materials, such as air gaps. SAM enables nondestructive internal inspection of plastic integrated-circuit (IC) packages, and, more recently, it has provided a tool for characterizing packaging processes such as die attachment and encapsulation. Even as ICs continue to shrink, their die size becomes larger because of added functionality in fact, devices measuring as much as 1 cm across are now common. And as die sizes increase, cracks and delaminations become more likely at the various interfaces.

Unfortunately, 7 is a poor solvent for donor-acceptor compounds, and a maximum of 1 wt % concentration was achieved for 1. Limited solubility is a common problem with host-guest systems we found however, that the solubility of donor-acceptor stilbene and azobenzene compounds can be improved considerably by die attachment of bulky side-groups such as butyl or allyl to the chromophores. In this way, loading levels above 15 wt % were possible for certain compounds. On the other hand, simple cyclic side-groups such as pyrrolidino (12) led to poorly soluble materials (Figure 1). 

The general area of adhesion and adhesion science has been one of the most important application areas identified thus far in a variety of applications for the subject imide-siloxane copolymers [74-82]. Many references in the patent literature [83-90] have been found that relate to the utilization of the copolymers in various important applications such as die attach adhesives, encapsulants, interphase agents, etc. It would appear that the combination of very good thermal stability, coupled with the adhesive bonding capabilities provided by the siloxane mobile segment, has attracted a great deal of attention and will be the...

Avatrel Dielectric Polymers (low-k dielectric applications such as interlayer dielectrics, passivation layers, die attach adhesives, chip encapsulants (both molding and adhesive) and underfill materials). 

Aromatic polyimides have found extensive use in electronic packaging due to their high thermal stability, low dielectric constant, and high electrical resistivity. Polyimides have been used as passivation coatings, (1) interlayer dielectrics, (2) die attach adhesives, (3) flexible circuitry substrates, (4) and more recently as the interlevel dielectric in high speed IC interconnections. (5) High speed applications require materials with a combination of low dielectric constant, flat dielectric response versus frequency and low water absorption.
