DELO Introduces UV-approach for Fan-out Wafer-level Packaging
10/25/2024 | DELODELO has developed a new approach for fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP). Its feasibility study shows: With the use of UV-curable molding materials instead of heat curing ones, warpage and die shift can be reduced significantly. Additionally, this leads to improvements in curing time and minimizes the energy consumption.
High Temperature Component Warpage as a Function of Moisture Sensitivity (MSL) Rating
05/29/2024 | Neil Hubble, AkrometrixMoisture sensitivity requirements for non-hermetic surface mount devices are defined in the joint IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-020E, “Joint IPC/JEDEC Standard for Moisture/Reflow Sensitivity Classification for Non-hermetic Surface-Mount Devices,” last updated in December 2014. This standard allows customers and suppliers to place electronics devices into specific categories, defined into 8 different moisture sensitivity levels (MSL). Test method criteria are defined within this standard to define MSL levels for different packages. A subsection of MSLs are shown in Figure 1 below, showing the MSL 3 and 4 used in this study.
