Optimised Nitrogen‐based Atmospheres for Copper Thick Film Manufacture: Part 1: Monitoring of Oxygen Doping in Nitrogen
F. Rotman, D. Navarro, S. MellulThis paper reports the results of development work conducted on nitrogen‐based atmospheres in order to improve the firing of copper thick film systems through continuous furnaces…
Thermoelastic Problems for Electronic Packaging
J.H. LauThe basic equations (infinitesimal strain‐displacement relations, constitutive equation, conservation of mass, conservation of momentum, conservation of energy, rate of change of…
Palladium/Silver Multilayers
R. Vanden Berghe, S. Demolder, M. Saillé, A. Van Calster, H. SchotteThe reliability of thick film multilayer systems, based on palladium‐silver conductors, and obtained from several suppliers, is evaluated. A test structure is presented and the…
Polystrate and Ultrastrate: Complementary Multichip Module Technologies
E.C. SutcliffeCMOS devices are approaching the 50 MHz threshold at which conventional electronic assemblies—based on packaged components (SMD, PGA, etc.) mounted on high‐density printed circuit…
Effects of Across Belt Temperature Uniformity on Fired Resistor Values
Robert K.F. Teng, Tom Berdner, M.P. EthridgeThe effects of temperature gradients across the belt width on fired resistor values are well known and become increasingly important in wide belt production conveyor furnaces…
Aspects of Indium Solder Bumping and Indium Bump Bonding Useful for Assembling Cooled Mosaic Sensors
M. Plötner, G. Sadowski, S. Rzepka, G. BlasekIndium solders are frequently used for interconnections in cooled systems because of their high ductility down to very low temperatures. Very fine contact pitches are required for…
Multi‐chip Modules for Telecom Applications
K. Gustafsson, G. Flodman, M. BaksztSystem performance can be improved by the use of MCM (multi‐chip module) technology. Better signal transmission properties, lower power dissipation if C‐MOS chips are used and…
Voltage Divider Networks for Photomultipliers (PM Bridge): High Voltage Thick Film Resistor System
S. Schmitt, H. KuznickiIn many nuclear experiments, photomultipliers (PM) with voltage divider networks are required. Very often it is also necessary to locate these PMs in a chamber under vacuum and…
