A New Approach to the Study of the Intrinsic Ageing Kinetics of Thick Film Resistors

L. De Schepper, W. De Ceuninck, H. Stulens, L.M. Stals, R. Vanden Berghe, S. Demolder

A new method of studying the accelerated ageing of interconnection materials is applied to a high‐stability thick film resistor system (the Du Pont HS‐80 system). The new method…

Packaging Options for High Lead Count ASIC Devices

S.T. Riches

Selection of the correct interconnection technique for high lead count integrated circuits is dependent on technical and economic factors, in particular in small batch production…

Terpene vs. CFC Defluxing in Hybrid Circuits Manufacturing

B. Osvalder

Because of the influence of chlorofluorocarbon based solvents on the stratospheric ozone layer, electronics manufacturers worldwide are attempting to find new solvents or methods…

The Use of CAD in Advanced Ceramic Package Designs

R. Callahan, J. Ewanich

Being competitive in the high performance IC market requires package design concepts which keep pace with the rapid increase in device complexity. Devices operating in the 50…

Non‐linear Thermal Effects in Hybrid Circuits

G. De Mey, E. Boone, G. Nachtergaele, S. Demolder, L. Rottiers

A review is given of the several heat transfer phenomena occurring in hybrid circuits. Most attention is devoted to the non‐linear properties. Some theoretical simulations and…

High Performance Electrically Conductive Silicone Adhesives

M.A. Lutz, R.L. Cole

Silicones have long been recognised as attractive materials for use in electronics applications because of their unique combination of properties. Now, technology which couples…
