Materials and Processes of Microelectronic Packaging including Low-Temperature Cofired Ceramics Technology (Past, Present and Future)

摘要

As semiconductor technology advances and computers become smaller with higher functionality, the technology has extended into a variety of areas, such as Information Technology (IT)-enabled household electronics, Information Communication Technology (ICT) devices, electronic automobiles and Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) transport networks, to enrich people's lives. Packaging technology serves as a vital bridge between semiconductor chips and computer systems. Its considerable value is recognized in the constant contributions it makes in bringing about a prosperous life. This paper addresses the two mainstream areas of high-end computers and consumer products, with a special focus on the ceramic materials and process technology of the packaging technologies field at the primary packaging level. Drawing on the past and present developments in these areas as well as future prospects, the paper elucidates the significance of ceramics in packaging including Low-Temperature Cofired Ceramics (LTCC).
