“…For this, the lead frame CTE was varied at each of the four lead frame moduli. From previous SOT-23 experience [2], as well as other finite element work [8], a minimum CTE of 5 ppm/"C, approximately that of Kovar, was chosen. The maximum value was chosen to exactly match that of 60/40 solder, 24 ppm/"C. Additionally, intermediate CTE's of 10 ppm/"C and 20 ppm/"C were executed to confirm the output pattems.…”
