Content(s)

I) Packaging (10h)

  • The role of packaging in microelectronics.
  • IC packaging, technologies (WB - wire-bonding, FC - flip chip, TAB - Tape Automated Bonding).
  • Packaging families (SMP, THP,..), types (BGA, PQA, SIP, PGA,...) and packages (plastic, ceramic).
  • Materials used in packaging (advantages and limits).
  • Microsystem packaging.
  • Description and study of physico-chemical and mechanical phenomena intervening in packaging process (thermodynamics, reaction kinetics, wetting,...).
  • Study of particular cases of packaging.

II) Durability (6h)

  • Principle of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC)
  • Packaging : from elementary cell to stack
  • Economical aspects, present technological bolts and tendencies
  • Main role of used materials: electrolyte, cathode, anode, interconnects (advantages and limits)
  • Problems of SOFC operating at high temperature (durability)
  • Solutions: SOFC operating at intermediate temperature
