Abstract:
A metal electronic package is provided having improved electromagnetic interference shielding. Metal base and cover components are electrically interconnected to remain at same voltage potential thereby reducing EMI induced mutual inductance. An electrically conductive conduit, such as a contact pin, provides interconnection. If the electronic device is mounted on a chip pad attach, the conductive conduit also connects to the support pads of the chip attach.
Abstract:
A baseplug for a target-penetrating projectile containing an explosive in which the baseplug is fabricated in two components each preferably fabricated from a powdered pyrophoric material. The powdered pyrophoric material may be zirconium or titanium or alloys thereof which is charged with hydrogen which upon burning of the baseplug is released to increase the fine start capability of the projectile.
Abstract:
Composite materials for electronic packages are disclosed. The composite materials comprise a core layer and first and second cladding layers. The core and cladding layer compositions and thicknesses are selected to maximize thermal and electrical conductivity and to minimize the coefficient of thermal expansion of the composite. The composite material may be employed to fashion the package base, the leadframe, a heat spreader or combinations thereof. In one embodiment, a portion of the first cladding layer is removed so that an electronic device may be mounted directly to a high thermal conductivity core.
Abstract:
A kit for the assembly of an adhesively sealed package designed to encase an electronic device is provided. The kit comprises a metallic base and cover components which are adapted to receive a polymeric adhesive. At least those portions of the base and cover component which will contact the polymeric adhesive are provided with a coating of a second metal or oxide. In one embodiment, first, second and third dry film adhesives are tacked to the base and cover components.
Abstract:
A semiconductor die attach system adapted for attaching a semiconductor die to a substrate is provided. A metallic buffer component for dissipating thermal stresses is disposed between the substrate and the semiconductor die to dissipate stresses created from thermal cycling of the substrate and the die. The metallic buffer component is sealed between the substrate and the die with a silver-tin sealing composition. A bonding material may be used alone to bond a die to a substrate and dissipate stresses from thermal cycling.
Abstract:
A semiconductor package for an electrical component which has a metal or metal alloy leadframe with first and second surface, which leadframe is adapted to have an electrical component connected thereto. The leadframe is bonded by means of a polymer to a copper or copper alloy base member. The leadframe is also bonded by means of a polymer to a copper or copper alloy cap member. The cap and base members have coated to their inside surfaces a metal or metal alloy. The coating improves the polymer bond between the leadframe and the base and cap members. The surface area of the base member is increased to transfer more heat from the silicon chip in the semiconductor package and to reduce the thermal stresses between the silicon chip and the base member.
