Abstract:
An air cavity package includes a dielectric frame that is formed from an alumina ceramic, a polyimide, or a semi-crystalline thermoplastic. The dielectric frame is joined to a flange using a high temperature silicone adhesive. Leads may be bonded to the dielectric frame using a high temperature organic adhesive, a direct bond, or by brazing.
Abstract:
Methods of making solder preforms are disclosed. A ribbon (102) of raw material is received, and a first annular solder preform is formed by laser cutting the ribbon. The edges (112,114) of the first annular solder preform can then be cleaned. The cutout section removed from the middle of the first annular solder preform can then be laser cut to form a second annular solder preform that is smaller than the first annular solder preform.
Abstract:
An air cavity package includes a flange and a pedestal extending upward from the flange. A dielectric frame is joined to the flange and surrounds the pedestal. The semiconductor die is placed on the pedestal, which reduces the length of the wires joining the die to the leads of the air cavity package.
Abstract:
An air cavity package includes a dielectric frame that is formed from a polyimide or a liquid crystal polymer (LCP). The dielectric frame is joined to a flange and to electrical leads using a polyimide adhesive.
