Hermiticity is an essential requirement of a MEMS package for a device to work properly. Hermeticity also must be preserved during the operations following packaging, during which the package bond should not remelt. Bonding temperature is limited however t ...
Solders are widely used as interconnect material for the electronic industry. The solder interconnect provides both electrical contact and mechanical connection between the integrated circuit devices and their substrate. Thus solders with good reliability ...
The quantity of MEMS manufacturers has considerably been increasing these last years. This doesn't mean that the introduction of such products on the market has become easier. A packaging operation is needed to obtain a usable product out of a microsystem. ...
Hybrid integration and especially the packaging of microelectromechanical systems (i.e. MEMS) cannot rely on standardised packaging solutions due to the diversity of microsystems. As an example, the packaging requirements of a pressure sensor are different ...

At present, most of the tests involved in personalized medicine are complex and must be conducted in specialized centers. The development of appropriate, fast and inexpensive diagnostic technologies can encourage medical personnel in performing preventive ...
This thesis aimed at developing innovative packaging solutions for a miniature atomic clock and other microsystems in the cm-scale, i.e. somewhat larger than what is practical for full "chip-scale" device-package integration using clean-room technologies f ...
Micro solid oxide fuel cells (μ-SOFCs) based on MEMS fabrication processes have become an increasingly attractive option for portable power generation applications, due to their high power density and their compatibility with hydrocarbon fuels. For system ...
This paper deals with 24-GHz circuits developed by exploiting a system-in-package approach. In order to reduce the cost as much as possible, a standard multilayer printed circuit board (PCB) technology has been adopted. Such a circuit consists of a package ...
