Brief Abstract:
Next generation microelectronics systems require the integration of dissimilar semiconductor technologies and materials and dissimilar electrical functions into one or several multi-chip packages. The integration of RF, Digital and Mixed-Signal technologies within one package presents numerous challenges from design and simulation to fabrication and assembly. Much work has been done with Aerosol Jet printing technologies for RF devices, but little has been done on Digital and Mixed-signal devices. This proposal for research details the application of Aerosol Jet printing towards Heterogeneously Integrated packaging. All interested students and faculty members are invited to attend the online defense via remote access.
