Abstruct -A requirement for many customers of semiconductors encapsulated in plastic packages is the ability to survive 10o0 cycles of air-to-air (gas-to-gas) temperature cycle under the conditions of -65°C to + 150°C. A series of experiments were performed to model the performance of molding compounds relative to die size. The model was then correlated to the historical temperature cycling data of an encapsulant independent of package size or type. The temperature cycle performance can now be predicted based on die size. The package size or type is incidental, a larger package is generally required for a larger die.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
