The only book to concentrate solely on low temperature cofired ceramics, an attractive technology for electronic components and substrates that are compact, light, and offer high-speed and functionality for portable electronic devices.

Covering every aspect of electronic packaging from development and design to manufacturing, facilities, and testing, Electronic Packaging and Interconnection Handbook, Third Edition, continues to be the standard reference in its field. Here, in this single information-packed resource are all the data and guidelines you need for all types and levels of electronic packages, interconnection technologies, and electronic systems. No other book treats all of the subjects covered in this handbook in such an integrated and inter-related manner, a treatment designed to help you achieve a more reliable, more manufacturable, and more cost-effective electronic package. Here's everything you need to know about materials, thermal management, mechanical and thermomechanical stress behavior, wiring and cabling, soldering and solder technology, integrated circuit packaging, surface mount technologies, rigid and flexible printed wiring boards. And with over 60% new material, this third edition brings you thoroughly up to speed on a new generation of packaging technologies: single chip packaging...ball gridarrays...chip scale packaging...low-cost flip chiptechnologies...direct chip attach, and more.

Materials design, prototyping, and manufacturing resource The be-all, end-all resource for product designers and industry specialists, Handbook of Ceramics, Glasses and Diamonds tells you how to get optimal performance from these materials. The Handbook is packed with materials properties, processes and requirements data. You get selection and design guidelines and valuable application insights, plus three chapters devoted exclusively to diamond technology.
