Abstract

This paper describes some of the key issues associated with the packaging of microsystems in plastic and 3D. These include hermeticity, residual stress, and thermal management. An example of packaging a silicon membrane pump is described which illustrates the residual stress problems associated with packaging devices in plastic. Alternative schemes based on the use of PCB spacer systems and PLCC off the shelf components are outlined.
