This course examines Chip-on-Board (COB) technology, using real-life
examples to summarize key considerations, critical factors and
challenges of a successful COB-SMT merge. Driving factors and
where COB is positioned vis-à-vis other approaches toward a higher
level of integration, the selection criteria and considerations for bare dies,
their quality and acquisition, and applicable standards are also covered.


What you will learn:

Fundamentals of the COB process, the approach that cuts costs, and
significantly improves footprint efficiency and lead time Design rules for
fan out, pitches, layout, attachment considerations, bonding variables, bonding tools and tool variables, inspection and challenges in failure analysis and rework Optional flows for embedding COB along with SMT assembly on a common platform. Metallization- conflicting requirements for bonding versus soldering
