In this work, we propose a novel packaging concept for highly integrated RF systems using SunRay Scientific’s magnetically aligned ZTACH® ACE. We demonstrate the ability to "grow" z-axis interconnects allowing for multilayer packages that are not sensitive to the height between pads. Using this effect, we
introduce two approaches to integrating multiple silicon wafers on top of each other, creating the possibility for an exceptionally dense integrated system-in-a-package. First, a reverse-pyramid package with all chips stacked facing down on a silicon substrate is demonstrated. Second, a "Matryoshka" package assembled with the alternation of chip's face direction is also demonstrated. The simplified assembly process of ZTACH® ACE and the new packaging concepts can offer a compact and cost-effective solution to system-in-package based RF systems. This technology can be processed at temperatures ranging from 80˚C up to 160˚, making it friendly to a range of substrates and applications from PCB, FPC, Flexible Hybrid Electronics and even wearable textile applications where device attach presents considerable issues.

SunRay Scientific will present its success in the development of a novel anisotropic conductive adhesive, ZTACH® ACE, for the next level of heterogenous integration. Materials and process development will be shared for dense and fine pitch Land Grid Arrays (LGA) on a semi-rigid interposer. Additionall...

S&S’s DOP, Direct On Paper is a sustainable paper RFID antenna solution which is both plastic-free and avoids chemical etching process. A HF loop antenna can be printed directly onto standard graphic printing paper with DOP solution. More than 10 years ago, PragmatIC created a new type of integrated circuit (IC) called FlexICs, that are thin, flexible and ultra-low cost, aimed at connecting for trillions of smart objects. Today, PragmatIC comes to another milestone, smartphones are able to work with NFC FlexIC that can be embedded into high volume everyday items. NFC FlexICs can be assembled with etched Aluminium loop antenna by providing the connection bridge across the two ends of the loop antenna. In our process concept, we use FlexIC's unique thin and flexible product characteristics (vs rigid silicon IC) with DOP's ultra-thin HF antenna loop. The benefits of this process concept are the material, process and resource saving during antenna production. By using a single loop antenna and eliminating the connection bridge, we avoid an additional printing process or double-sided Aluminium antenna substrate. A tiny natural resource saving in one inlay with NFC FlexIC for trillions of smart objects ... and beyond.

Gregory Berube | Director of Innovations Americas
For decades, polymer thick-film (PTF) systems have provided a low-cost option for screen-printing simple electronic circuits, especially on temperature sensitive substrates. The ability to apply PTF pastes on a wide variety of substrates has facilitated numerous applications, for instance membrane touch-switch keypads, buss bars for touch screens, various types of sensors, and flexible circuitry. PTF is also commonly used in the rapidly emerging Printed Electronic market, where flexible, stretchable, durable materials are paramount to the success of these technologies. These pastes include silver pastes for conductors, carbon pastes for resistive applications, shielding and biosensors; silver-silver chloride pastes for glucose and other biosensors, and dielectric pastes.

Carbon based PTF resistors are a low cost and easily scalable option for low temperature polymer-based heaters, especially since they may be printed on any type of surface. However, PTF heaters normally require complex control circuitry that add to the cost of the heater. Without these controls, the heater may overheat, resulting in injury or a fire. These types of risks are especially unacceptable in automotive applications, where occupant safety is paramount. However, it is possible to design a carbon paste that will print a resistor with the ability to self-regulate by dramatically increasing in resistance at and above the target operating temperature...

By Michael LeFebvre, DuraTech Industries | michael.lefebvre@duratech.com In the 39 years I’ve been in the printed electronics industry, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing, influencing, and playing a part in life-changing innovations such as the SonoCine ultrasonic breast imaging device and printed wearable therapeutics. But as brilliant as these breakthroughs were back in the day, they don’t hold a candle to today’s conductive transparent thin films that are enabling limitless design and engineering possibilities. After reading about the following examples based on my current experience, I think you’ll agree that the future of our industry is exciting indeed! Transparent, flexible antennas Today’s 5G frequencies don’t penetrate buildings well, and the need for more antennas to facilitate 5G speed is growing exponentially. The problem is that consumers don’t want unsightly features, like antennas, attached to their products or to be visible anywhere within their environments. A new class of antenna is emerging to solve that problem. Transparent antennas, made with flexible, conductive hybrid films offering performance equivalents to leading low-loss, ceramic-based PCB laminates, work as well as traditional non-transparent printed antennas. They can be leveraged for automotive, cellular, NFC, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, LPWAN, and GNSS/satellite use, to name a few.
