Integrated Circuit Packaging





The four main IC packaging options are listed below.
The page links will provide manufacturing sources using each of the different packaging solutions.

Chip On Board [COB Packaging] {MCM integrated bare die mounted directly on to the interconnect substrate.}

Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic [LTCC Packaging]

Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems [MEMS Packaging]

Multi Chip Module [MCM Packaging] {MCM integrated bare die mounted directly on to the interconnect substrate.}

Plated Copper on Thick films [PCTF Packaging]

Editor note; the military standards listed may not be available for down-load, and maybe withdrawn with out replacement.
For example MIL-STD-275E [revision 'E'] was released in 1984 but was cancelled in 1999.
The specification numbers used above also do not show the revision letter, because the revision may be changed.
