Volatiles Control in Hermetic Electronic Components Instructors: Thomas Green, TJ Green Associates, LLC, Robert Lowry, Electronics Materials Consultant COURSE SUMMARY This tutorial includes a basic review of the Mil Spec test methods in place to prevent moisture related failures in hermetically sealed microelectronics where functional reliability is of utmost importance (e.g. IC’s, Hybrids and RF […]
Copper and Gold Wire Bonding Seminar Instructor: Lee Levine Description: Wire Bonding is a welding process that is the dominant chip interconnection method. More than 15 trillion wires are bonded annually. In the past, gold wire was the dominant material in use, but in 2015 copper and palladium coated copper wire captured more than 51% […]
Moisture in printed circuit boards - development of an efficient drying process Wed, Sep 14, 2022 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM CEST The aim of this webinar is to develop an understanding of moisture in materials, especially in printed circuit boards, to know the effects on further processing and to be able to derive targeted […]

Content Module 1: Full Bridge Phase Shift Transformer Module 2: PFC Inductor Module 3: Magnetics Industrialization Module 4: Lab Measurements with the Climatic […]
Design and Test of Non-Hermetic Microelectronic Instructors: Thomas Green and Robert Lowry Description: Packages made from polymeric materials as opposed to traditional hermetic materials (i.e. metals, ceramics, and glasses) require a different approach from a design, production, testing, and qualification standpoint. The problem is now one of moisture diffusion through the barrier and package interfaces. […]
PRODUCT DEMO: Demystifying Antenna Systems for IoT & 5G Date: Tuesday, September 20, 2022 Time: 1:30 PM Eastern Daylight Time Duration: 30 minutes 5G is a broad term used to describe the next generation of wireless communications. Like previous generations of wireless (e.g. 3G, 4G, LTE), 5G supports the requirements of such previous generations, extends and enhances capabilities, […]
Pre Cap Visual Inspection per Mil-Std-883 (TM 2017) Instructor: Thomas Green Description: Hybrids/MCMs/RF Microwave Modules all require a visual inspection step just prior to encapsulation or hermetic seal. This is a critical process step that requires a high degree of operator skill and understanding of what to look for and reject as part of the […]
External Visual Inspection per Mil-Std-883 TM 2009 Instructor: Thomas Green Description: This course covers the visual inspection criteria for hermetic packaged microelectronic devices and similar devices and a review of typical plastic package defects in accordance with best commercial practices. Color photographs of actual production defects are reviewed and discussed in detail. The students are […]
