DELO Introduces UV-approach for Fan-out Wafer-level Packaging
10/25/2024 | DELODELO has developed a new approach for fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP). Its feasibility study shows: With the use of UV-curable molding materials instead of heat curing ones, warpage and die shift can be reduced significantly. Additionally, this leads to improvements in curing time and minimizes the energy consumption.

Book Excerpt: The Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to... Thermal Management with Insulated Metal Substrates, Vol. 2, Chapter 4
09/25/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamDirect-bonded copper (DBC) with a ceramic base is a commonly used assembly technology. While advantages include excellent solder crack compensation due to similar CTE values between component and substrate, the construction is fragile and therefore places limits on size and exposure to vibration. Small assemblies in basic shapes such as a rectangle can be done, although larger, more complex shapes become difficult.
Some Fundamentals of Tin-Bismuth Metallurgy and Electromigration
09/24/2024 | Prabjit Singh, Raiyo Aspandiar, Haley Fu, and L. A. SwaminathanNear-eutectic tin-bismuth alloy is a strong contender as the solder of choice for low-temperature electronic assembly applications. This article will describe the recent significant developments by the iNEMI project team on the understanding of the electromigration behavior of Sn-Bi solder which has a unique physical metallurgy and electromigration behavior quite different for that of Sn-Ag-Cu (SAC) solder and other solders in common use today.
