Assembly and Packaging Key Technologies

Innovative Semiconductor Packaging Technologies

When size, performance and system integration are critical to your application, our technologies and miniaturization techniques can help make your products smaller, smarter and more reliable. We specialize in microelectronic assembly, miniaturization and integrated power electronics modules services. We supplement these services with our in-house design, substrate and testing capabilities.

Our offerings include custom ASICs, FPGAs, RF modules and ICs, multi-chip packages and ruggedized design services. We work closely with you to provide solutions that meet your specifications for products that need to survive in the harshest environments, defend against security threats, use the lowest possible power, take up the smallest space or meet other performance requirements.

This technology is suitable for, but not limited to, these markets:

  • Medical
  • Security
  • Military
  • Industrial sensing

Key Benefits

  • Increased security against counterfeiting 
  • Reduced signal path loss
  • Robustness against vibration 
  • Highly reliability 
  • Adaptable package to meet your board requirements
  • Scalable manufacturing process

Complex Power Module Services

We design and build a wide range of power modules with superior characteristics such as low stray inductance values and fast switching times using Si IGBT and SiC MOSFET technologies.

These characteristics significantly improve system power density and integration area, making our power modules suitable for the most demanding applications.

Automotive Power Modules

Capabilities

  • Heavy-gauge wire/ribbon bonding
  • Silicone potting
  • Film-assisted molding
  • Silver sintering
  • Module miniaturization

  • Small size for improved system integration
  • Module customization
  • Intelligent power modules via  integrated gate driver

Large Area Panel Molding

As a design alternative to standard injection molding, our Large Area Panel Molding (LAPM) service provides a low cost of entry, fast turnaround and flexible package size.

Another key benefit of LAPM is that it uses thermally matched materials, which allows the same material to be used for the substrate and overmolding to minimize stress throughout the package during thermal cycling. 

Wafer with Probes
