Packaging Is a domain which combine the engineering with manufacturing technologies needs to transform an electrical diagram in an operational product. This domain combines knowledge's from electronics, mechanics, materials and quality assurance.

Packaging of electronics microsystems include a set of fundamentals technologies: micro and nanoelectronics, photonics, micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), radio frequency (RF) and wireless technologies.

In order to integrate all these functions in a system, the functions must be designed, manufactured and tested for assuring reliability and an adequate thermal regime.

Multi Chip Modules (MCM)

MCM-D – deposited MCM. The modules are deposited on the base substrate using thin film technology.

MCM-C – ceramic substrate MCMs (thick-film or cofired ceramic technology). A very good variant is LTCC – low temperature cofiread ceramic)

MCM-L – laminated MCM. The substrate is a multi-layer laminated PCB (organic laminate technology)

Printed Wiring Board (PWB)

Paul Esler from Germany invented this technology in 1943.

Actual production 45,250 mil $/ year, with an 11%/year increasing rate

The large producers made 250,000 m2/year, adding the small producers 50,000 m2/ year.

Level 3

The final integration stage:

printed circuit boards PWB/PCB

Subassemblies: power supplies, micro-motors, etc.

User interfaces: displays, keyboards,etc.

Special components:transformers, fans, heaters, etc.

Cables

Boxes
