چکیده

An original packaging method suitable for integrated thermal mass flow sensors is presented. The method consists in the application of a plastic transparent adapter to the chip surface. The adapter is sealed to the chip surface by means of a thermal procedure. By this approach it is possible to selectively convey the fluid flow to reduced chip areas, avoiding contact with the pads. Fabrication and testing of a very compact flow sensor is described.

A Compact Multilayer IC Package Model for Efficient Simulation, Analysis, and Design of High-Performance VLSI Circuits

A multilayered integrated circuit (IC) package structure is composed of many signal layers, power layers, and ground layers. Particularly, the whole planes are assigned for the power and ground of the system. Accordingly, the generic circuit representation of such a complicated multilayer IC package becomes too complicated to efficiently evaluate its electrical performance. In this work, a nove...

Size-Compatible, Polymer-Based Air-Gap Formation Processes, and Polymer Residue Analysis for Wafer-Level MEMS Packaging Applications

This study aims at investigating a polymer-based air-gap creation method for the packaging of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and exploring the chemical composition of the polymer residue on the final package. Polymer-based air-gap formation utilizes thermal decomposition of a sacrificial polymer, poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC), encapsulated within an overcoat polymer. BCB (Cyclotene 40...

A Time-Domain Method for the Analysis of Thermal Impedance Response Preserving the Convolution Form

The study of the thermal behavior of complex packages as multichip modules (MCM’s) is usually carried out by measuring the so-called thermal impedance response, that is: the transient temperature after a power step. From the analysis of this signal, the thermal frequency response can be estimated, and consequently, compact thermal models may be extracted. We present a method to obtain an estima...

Parameterized Physical Compact Thermal Modeling

This paper presents a compact thermal modeling approach, which is fully parameterized according to design geometries and material physical properties. While most compact modeling approaches facilitate thermal characterization of existing package designs, our method is better suited for preliminary exploration of the design space at both the silicon level and the package level. We show that our ...
