Assembly Process Guidelines for Wafer Level CSP August 21, 2008 - 10:00 am - 11:00 am Today's consumers expect each new generation of personal entertainment and portable handset products to be smaller, thinner, lighter in weight ... and loaded with even greater functionality. How can electronics manufacturers offer a product that meets all those functional and performance expectations without increasing product cost? Many companies are turning to IC packages that are no greater than the die element. A wide range of choices exist today for assembly of ultra-fine-pitch wafer level and die-size surface mount devices. Although solder remains the most common method for device attachment, a number of alternative methods - such as the use of conductive polymers and ultrasonic gold-to-gold interface - have been developed to reliably secure the miniature die-sized elements to the circuit structure. --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a service by IPC using LISTSERV 15.0 To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/contentpage.asp?Pageid=4.3.16 for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-615-7100 ext.2815 -----------------------------------------------------
