Palomar's Matrix LED Assembly Capabilities Enable Packaging of Brighter LED Modules
Dan Evans to present paper on Matrix LED Assembly at IMAPS International Conference
Carlsbad, Calif. - February 26, 2007 - Palomar Technologies, provider of precision automation equipment and process development for microelectronic assembly, announced that Dan Evans, senior scientist, will present a paper titled High Brightness Matrix LED Assembly Challenges and Solutions at the Scottsdale, Arizona IMAPS International Conference and Exhibition on Packaging, on Tuesday, March 20, 2007. Evans will present Palomar's findings that show that certain matrix LED packaging technologies can produce brighter LED modules.
Mr. Evans' paper will feature a brief overview of market applications and package options, using a case study to highlight challenges encountered and available solutions for producing matrix LED packages. Pulse heat eutectic die attach and wire chain bonding are some of the technologies that will be explored for application to matrix LED assembly.
"Solid State Lighting is pervasive and will continue to grow in popularity as performance and costs mature," said Evans. "Products include camera phone flashes, televisions, display backlighting, automotive lighting, architectural lighting, and others still in development. Reaching performance and cost targets will require continuous improvements in LED devices and packaging to extract ever increasing lumens per watt. Several of the new products use a matrix of LED devices packaged together. These matrix LED packages present challenges for both die attach and wire bonding compared to single die packages. We have found that some of the die attach and wire bonding techniques and technologies that have been used in other industries and applications can be adapted for LED assembly."
