Micro Electro Mechanical Systems technology is growing at a phenomenal
rate. Micro machined devices present a different set of challenges for
packaging engineers. The speakers for the April 14th meeting will
discuss Automotive sensor packaging and Chip Scale Packaging, employing
MEMS technology as the package.
The high profile given MEMS recently in the media has prompted a second
MEMS packaging session, scheduled for the
July 14th CPMT Chapter meeting. This meeting's topic
will be Bio-med MEMS packaging, plus an overview of MEMS Fab basics.
OVERVIEW of PANEL SPEAKERS:
- Marc Stalnaker, Visteon Microelectronics (formerly Ford
Microelectronics)
- Marc will address packaging issues for accelerometers.
- Dale Gee,
Director of Business Development and Strategic Marketing, Lucas Nova
Sensor
- The packaging of MEMS devices presents the engineering community with
many unique challenges. Due to the nature of the technology, there can
be no "standard" packaging format, and each application requires unique
solutions. He will cover tire pressure sensor packaging
and the innovations internally developed to make this new device a
reality.
- Donald Smith,
Member of the Research Staff, Document Hardware Lab, Xerox Parc
- He will deliver two short papers covering the use of MEMS
technology to make a high pin count, die-sized vehicle for flip chip
attachment.
