Service 07 · Semiconductor Packaging

Semiconductor packaging engineered for reliability

The package protects the die, connects it to the world and carries away its heat. We help you design, assemble and qualify packages that do all three — reliably.

Overview

Packaging is where many reliability problems begin: voids in die attach, weak wire bonds, moisture ingress or warpage under thermal load. Because we test and analyse packaged devices every day, we bring a reliability-first perspective to packaging design and assembly.

From selecting the right package for a new device to developing assembly processes and qualifying the result, our packaging engineers work alongside your design and manufacturing teams.

Capabilities

Package design & selection

Choosing package type, materials and layout for electrical, thermal and mechanical requirements.

Die attach

Epoxy, solder and sintered die-attach processes with void and bond-line control.

Wire bonding

Gold, copper and aluminium wire-bond process development with pull and shear verification.

Flip-chip & bumping

Support for flip-chip interconnect, underfill selection and joint reliability.

Encapsulation & moulding

Mould compound selection and process optimisation to prevent delamination and voids.

Advanced packaging

Engineering support for system-in-package (SiP), 2.5D/3D and heterogeneous integration.

Thermal & mechanical analysis

Evaluation of heat dissipation, warpage and stress in package structures.

Package qualification

Moisture sensitivity (MSL), preconditioning and package-level reliability testing.

Relevant standards

  • J-STD-020 (MSL)
  • JESD22-A113 (Preconditioning)
  • JESD22-B116 (Wire bond shear)
  • MIL-STD-883
  • AEC-Q100

Who it's for

Fabless companies taking a design to package for the first time, OSATs developing new package types, and product teams resolving package-related failures.
