MicroCoat's "B" staged conductive and non-conductive films and liquids are used extensively for both die attach and package sealing
Conductive, Non-Conductive, and Thermally Conductive Die Attach Adhesives
In electronics, thermal management is crucial in both the design of circuit-board assemblies and in the production of semiconductor materials. For PC boards a crucial aspect can be the heating or cooling power required to keep a circuit within its specified operating temperature range. In the manufacturing of silicon wafers it is important to maintain a very uniform temperature distribution across the wafer in order to achieve quality production processes and high yields

This extremely low moisture absorption adhesive, MCT SD0802-31DA has passed >1 year at 30°C/85%RH and should be able to be used in MSL1 packaging. This material also contains anti-bleed resin technology to prevent loss of resin system adhesion that is critical to wirebond and packaging performance. *MCT SD0802-31DA conductive adhesive will give you 8W/mK standard without sacrificing adhesion and very low outgassing per ASTM E595. This material is formulated to provide high cohesive energy, adhesive strength, stress absorbing for large die, and elongation at break. Short term at >300°C (2-3 minutes for Pb free reflow) if cured at 150°C for 60 minutes
MCT A795-VHT
Super High Temperature Conductive Die Attach Adhesive To >650°C
- Low Cure Temperature
- Semiconductor Die Attach with Molly Tab for “Down the Hole Hybrids” or attach to Headers Ag, Ni, Pd/Ag, Al, etc. (May not be direct bonded to Gold!)
- Silicon Die (No Gold on back) to power headers
- Platable For SMD Components
- Ceramic-to-Ceramic Heat Sink Bonding
- Substrate Attach to Nickel Plated Packages
For Vacuum Selaing Applications: All moisture is released between 300°C to 400°C. After that there is absolutely no outgassing. Prior to final brake at temperature there are <.01ppm H2O moisture given off. It appears from lab testing that if you cure the product for an additional 2 hours at 150°C (after 1-2hours at 120°C) this will eliminate any further moisture release

MCT SD0802 Series
A High Performance Single Component, Very High Thermal Conductivity, Very Low Resistivity Conductive Epoxy Interposer for Connecting Silicon Stacked Die Layers
MicroCoat Technologies announces the arrival of their new low resistivity - high thermal conductivity die-stacking interconnect conductive adhesive MCT SD0802. Many companies that are manufacturing stacked flash devices have gone to very fine line dispensed conductive adhesive instead of wirebonding to make the connections from layer to layer. MCT has developed a magnificent solution. It can be a dispensed bead or using high speed jet dispensing of conductive adhesive, the material can be applied at 50 microns wide with no sag or slump to 16+ flash layers (tested to date) with a 7 day room temperature working life. Besides the cost and space savings compared to wirebonding the conductive paths provide a ground-breaking method for helping to cool the device(s) with the high thermal conductivity of the epoxy acting as cooling fins
It is shown that a 32MB 3D stacked DRAM cache can reduce the cycles per memory access of a twothreaded RMS benchmark on average by 13% and as much as 55% while increasing the peak temperature by a negligible 0.08ºC. Offdie BW and power are also reduced by 66% on average. It is also shown that a 3D floorplan of a high performance microprocessor can simultaneously reduce power 15% and increase performance 15% with a small 14ºC increase in peak temperature. Voltage scaling can reach neutral thermals with a simultaneous 34% power reduction and 8% performance improvement. Bryan Black, et al, Intel Corporation.
