The typical TP encapsulation process is an insert injection molding or liquid injection molding operation. The insert, a coil, or an integrated circuit, for example, is placed in a mold equipped with either fixed spider type supports or retractable pins or other features to support it when molten TP is injected.

In these compositions, a common drawback is that carbon black is likely to fall off from the surface of a molded product by abrasion. Special formulations composed from a variety of resin components that overcome this drawback have been developed (83). In this way, contamination of integrated circuits (IQs, etc., to be caused by falling off of carbon black, by abrasion when contacted with ICs can be substantially reduced. 

The commercial integrated circuit (chip) is normally encapsulated in a thermoset plastic molding compound to protect the chip and permit handling and subsequent assembling without loss of circuit integrity. However, the increasing complexity of the chip has... 

JL olymers are increasingly being used in a wide variety of applications in electronics and photonics, most of which use polymers in their traditional role as engineering materials (e.g., circuit boards, molded products, wire and cable insulation, encapsulants, and adhesives). In addition, many other unique applications require material properties that only polymers can provide. Examples include resist materials for the lithographic fabrication of integrated circuits (1C) and polymers for optical recording. These types of applications may be considered passive in the sense that the polymer does not play an active role in the operation of the device or circuit. Rather, it serves some other function such as mechanical support, electrical insulation, or in the case of resists, some intermediate function in the fabrication of the device. 

Typical application fields are casting molds for molded vanadium components, crucibles for high frequency induction furnaces and substrates for integrated circuits. In nuclear reactor technology beryllium oxide is mixed with nuclear fuel as a moderator for fast neutrons.

Studies on thermomechanical stresses in plastic packaged integrated circuits after molding and in encapsulation materials, show the resulting stress distribution on the surface of the die and clarify the fundamental mechanism in the generation of thermomechanical stresses in molding compounds. 

Fig. 7.10.13 shows the crank-sensor package. It consists of a magnet, a molded integrated circuit (MIC) with terminals, and a resin case. An MIC integrating an MRE device and a wave-shaping circuit is inserted into a hollow-body magnet. The MIC with the hollow-body magnet is inserted into a resin cap. 

The use of thermoplastics and their selective metal plating opens a new dimension in circuit carrier design to the electronics industry 3D molded interconnect devices (3D MIDs). MIDs are injection-molded thermoplastic parts with integrated circuit traces. They provide enormous technical and economic potential and offer remarkably improved ecological behavior in comparison to conventional printed circuit boards which they wiU, however, complement, not replace. 

The most signilieant application for conductive adhesives in the manufacture of microelectronics is the attachment of silicon chips to lead frames. Of the 40 billion integrated circuits (ICs) manufactured each year, approximately 90% are encapsulated in plastic-molded packages, and most of these are assembled with conductive adhesives [4]. A schematic illustration of a plastic-molded IC package is shown in Fig. 2. The conductive...

History. The Shell Chemical Corporation introduced the epoxy resin systems into the United States in 1941, and their good property profile has been utilized in a wide range of applications. The molding compounds are available in extreme soft flows and long gelation times, which make them very adaptable for encapsulation molding techniques in the encapsulation of electronic components such as integrated circuits, resistors, diode capacitors, relays, and bobbins.
