The effectiveness of silicone gels for corrosion prevention of silicon circuits: the final report of the IEEE Computer Society Computer Packaging Committee Special Task Force

摘要

The results of a three-year task force effort to determine if silicone gels can provide sufficient reliability protection to justify their use in commercial and military electronics packaging applications are presented. The types of gels tested included a gel from Shin-Etsu, an Amicon gel, several Petrarch gel formulations, and a Dow Corning gel. The results indicate that the performance might be dependent on the application methods as much as the selection of gel types.
