The course introduces the developments in connectivity from the semiconductor chip outwards, and explores the use of plastic encapsulating materials and methods to lead into the main body of the course. Packaging developments that are addressed in the main course include chip scale and high density multi-chip packaging and the use of various chip attachment microjoining techniques such as die bonding, wire-bonding, direct chip attach by tape automated and flip chip bonding. The approaches to underfilling and encapsulating high density assemblies are tackled from a modern packaging engineers’ viewpoint, with useful briefing of the materials and techniques to serve as an ongoing practical reference. Thermal design solutions, which are essential for modern high density systems, are provided. World expert insight provides in-depth understanding of reliability behavior and reliability characterization and design for global applications of electronics, for those in industrial as well as military and aerospace businesses. The instructors have an extensive depth of industrial experience to benefit those attending the course.
