Dam and Fill Encapsulants meet lead-free requirements.

Press Release Summary:



Hysol® FP4451TD(TM) and FP4800(TM) meet stringent JEDEC level testing requirements and enable wirebonded cavity-down SuperBGA® and Viper(TM) BGA packages. Suited for package level applications, Hysol FP4451TD offers aspect ratio of 0.70 height-to-width and enables dam heights greater than 1 mm. Self-leveling, liquid encapsulant, Hysol FP4800 withstands solder temperatures to 260°C after preconditioning, and penetrates fine-pitch wires and deep cavities without entrapping voids.

New Dam and Fill Encapsulants from Henkel Meet Stringent Lead-Free Requirements



Hysol FP4451TD and Hysol FP4800 support high-throughput, low-cost package assembly processes

The electronics group of Henkel announces two new, high-purity dam and fill encapsulants designed specifically for lead-free processing. Hysol® FP4451TD(TM) and Hysol FP4800(TM) both meet the stringent JEDEC level testing requirements for high-temperature reliability demanded by lead-free processes. The two products enable smaller, thinner and lighter wirebonded cavity down, SuperBGA® and Viper(TM) BGA packages, while supporting high-throughput, low-cost package assembly processes.

Dam heights greater than 1 mm are possible with Hysol FP4451TD, a tall dam flow control barrier recommended for package level applications. It offers superior dispensing and a high aspect of ratio of 0.70 height to width. In addition, its ionic contamination level is lower than earlier-generation products. Based on proven resin chemistry, FP4451TD exhibits excellent chemical resistance and thermal stability.

Hysol FP4800 is a liquid encapsulant with excellent adhesion that can withstand solder temperatures up to 260º C after JEDEC level 2 preconditioning. Its excellent flow properties allow it to penetrate fine-pitch wires and deep cavities without entrapping voids. Like all Hysol high-purity encapsulants, FP4800 is self-leveling and offers unprecedented performance for numerous advanced packages: BGAs, PBGAs, CSPs, full arrays on LTCC, transistors, system in package (SIP), microprocessors and ASICs.

With the addition of FP4451TD and FP4800 to the Hysol lead-free materials set, manufacturers can be confident of having a full range of products, backed by in-depth technical and engineering support, to meet the EU lead-free implementation date of July 2006. All Henkel lead-free products are designed to support high-quality advanced assembly processes at full production levels.
