Abstract

A plastic package assembly method suitable for ferroelectric-based integrated circuits includes a strict thermal budget that reduces the time at temperature for four key processing steps: die attach cures, die coat cures, molding cures, and marking cures. The plastic package assembly method uses low temperature mold and die coat materials, as well as low temperature curable inks or laser marking in order to minimize degradation of electrical performance, thus improving yields and reliability. The assembly method uses a snap cure die attach step, a die coat followed by a room temperature cure, and formation of the plastic package with room temperature curable molding compounds not requiring a post mold cure. Front and back marking of the plastic package is accomplished using either an infrared or ultraviolet curable ink followed by minimum cure time at elevated temperature, or by using laser marking.
