Device Mounting Technology
Surface Mount Technology
Surface mounting is still the most common and economical approach for many applications. Bourns® Microelectronic
Module products offer the latest in surface mount technology:
• Chip sizes to 0201
• Inert reflow
• SOIC, PLCC, TSOP, QFP to 0.012 ” (0.3 mm)
• Lead free solder capability
• CSP, odd form components
• Passive component test
• BGA: 0.5 mm pitch, underfill
Chip & Wire/COB (Chip on Board)
This proven technology provides an intermediate level of miniaturization, the advantages of in-process test and repair,
and is designed to withstand harsh environments such as automotive applications.
Bourns® Microelectronic Module products offer the latest in chip & wire technology:
• Gold & Aluminum Wire Bonding - High speed, automated, ball/wedge, wedge/wedge, ribbon
• Gold Wire Bonding
- 20-50 µm (0.8 to 2 mil) wire to 80 µm (3.2 mil) pitch
• Aluminum Wedge Bonding
- 125-380 µm (5 to 15 mil) wire for high current/power applications
• Die Attachment
- Epoxy or Eutectic, 5 µm accuracy, glob top, dam & fill
Flip Chip Mounting
This process provides the ultimate opportunity for package miniaturization and minimization of conductor lengths and
size reduction in high speed, high frequency applications.
