The Chip Carrier, Universal Chip Support for High Level Integration

C. Val, G. Kersuzan, B. Dreyfus‐Alain

The ‘chip carrier’ or CC is an intermediate support, hermetically sealed or otherwise, (of alumina, beryllium oxide or plastic) requires to connect an integrated circuit chip with…

Comparative Study of Thick Film Dielectrics

W. Vermeirsch

Increasing density requirements urge the thick film hybrid manufacturers to print high resolution patterns and to consider the application of multilayer hybrids. The introduction…

A Review of Distributed RC Thick Film Components

P.L. Moran

Some of the unique properties of distributed RC thick film components are reviewed and discussed. In particular the evolution of a method of functionally adjusting active low pass…

The Use of Polymer Thick Film for Making Printed Circuit Boards

F.W. Martin

The electronics industry is facing a situation in which the cost of electronic functions is dropping continuously while the cost of interconnecting the functions by traditional…

Thermal Expansion and Laser Trim Stability of Ruthenium Based Thick Film Resistors on Alumina and on Multilayer Dielectric

I. Taitl

Fired resistors exhibit variations which are minimised by abrasive and laser trimming. The latter may cause unstable behaviour which is further aggravated by thermal shock. The…

Mounting Leadless Chip Carriers onto Printed Circuit Boards

D. Fishman, N. Cooper

It is reasoned that wide penetration of chip carriers into equipment for professional and commercial applications depends on developing methods for mounting the leadless types…

A True Air Speed Sensor for Miniature Unmanned Aircraft

J.A.C. Beattie

This paper describes the development of a laboratory prototype true air speed sensor for use on unmanned aircraft. The sensor works on vortex shedding principles and has a digital…

The Business of Thick Film

M.G. Sage

This paper looks at the growth, current situation and future of the thick film hybrid industry worldwide. The approach taken has been to regard the thick film hybrid as primarily…

Complementary Technologies—A Comparison of Electronic Packaging Technologies for Circuit Realisation

D.O. Spiller

This paper outlines the results of a study (initiated in June 1981) of the optimum packaging and interconnection techniques for a specific electronic sub‐system which was to go…

EMPIRIC/SHM—A Noble Art

P.L. Kirby

As Vice‐President of ISHM‐UK, I am very pleased to have this opportunity to express a few thoughts about our technology in this first issue of the new Journal. In the UK we do not…
