Thin Film Technology for Prototypes and Small Scale Production—Equipment Needed, Experimental Results, Applications
S. NørlyngThis paper gives a popular introduction to thin film and some reasons for using this technology. The miniaturisation techniques at Brel & Kjaer are described and the background…
Infra‐red Reflow for the Solder Attachment of Surface Mounted Devices
D.K. FlatteryInfra‐red ovens and furnaces have been in use in the microelectronics industry for a long time, but recent design advancements and process developments have provided the precise…
Future Trends and Developments in Circuit Technology
P.G. BarnwellThe effects and implications of current developments in interconnection technology on print and fire thick film hybrid manufacture are discussed. Particular emphasis is given to…
High Speed Thick Film Fuses
A.J. Marriage, B. McIntoshThe increasing use of small, expensive, complex electronic systems using VLSI chips has created the need to develop fail‐safe protection devices with a fast acting response…
Drawbridging of Leadless Components
R.J. Klein Wassink, M.M.F. VerguldDrawbridging or Stonehenge Effect of leadless components (i.e., the standing up on their end faces) has been investigated. An explanation is offered based on a straightforward…
Computerised Functional Tuning of Hybrid Integrated Active RC‐Filters
J.E. Karlskov JensenHigh‐performance active RC‐filters realised as a thick or thin‐film hybrid integrated circuit present special fabrication problems. Due to manufacturing tolerances of the circuit…
Protective Thin Film Coatings by Plasma Polymerisation
R.K. Sadhir, H.E. SaundersThe paper describes the plasma polymerisation process for depositing ultrathin films. Such films, deposited from monomers containing hydrophobic elements such as hexafluorobenzene…
Thick Film Platinum Temperature Sensors
Q.M. Reynolds, M.G. NortonThis paper describes the fabrication of integral screen printed platinum resistance elements. A detailed description is given of the techniques of element manufacture and…
Low Temperature Co‐fired Tape Dielectric Materials System for Multilayer Interconnections
J.I. Steinberg, S.J. Horowitz, R.J. BacherModern complex integrated circuits require more input/output connections and operate at faster switching speeds and higher power levels than was the case before LSI and VLSI…
Experience with Trimming of Chip Resistors and how to Improve Trimming Results with CAD Simulation and Thick Film Process Control
R. RonnigerHigh speed chip resistor trimming requires a more advanced technology than just passive network‐trimming. Some guidelines have to be observed to obtain a good approach to the…
Power Transistor Chips on Heat Sink: Evaluation of Different Mounting Techniques
R. Rocchelli, A. SimonettaAssembly techniques for power semiconductor devices destined for automotive applications are examined. Attention has been paid to materials or their combinations showing an…
A Glimpse of India
Dr Setty reports from ISHM‐India, who had their first committee meeting on the 4th October 1985, that the Society is now off the ground and that the Symposium on Hybrid…
SFERNICE
The visitor to Nice stepping from the relative cool of his aeroplane into a temperature of 37°C would be most likely to be on his way to the white pebble beach, perfumed with…
Semiconductor Die Processing
It seems incredible that the microelectonics industry is obsessed by establishing itself in the overcrowded South East of England, where any journey by road is little short of a…
