Electronics Components
Mechanical and Electro-mechanical:
PCB mounted DIP switches, mains switches, disc drives
Passive Solid State Devices:
Resistors, Capacitors
Active Solid State Devices:
Transistors, Diodes, Thermionic valves, FETs and MOSFETs
Passive devices: resistors
Carbon Composite Resistor
Slug  leads  mold  bake  seal
- cheap, poor tolerance, rugged
Wire-wound resistor
wind wire  leads  mold  seal
- high power, low resistance, high frequency apps
Film resistor
Film is cut by laser  high precision
- low frequency applications
Passive devices: capacitors
Tabbed tubular paper capacitor
Disk-ceramic capacitor
Tubular ceramic capacitors
Active devices: Silicon wafer production
Raw Si:
Quartzite (SiO2) + Carbon (C) + Heat + catalysts  Si + CO2
Pure Si:
Si + HCl  SiCl4 + Hydrogen  Fractional distillation 
SiCl4 + H2 + catalysts  Si + HCl
Pure Monocrystalline Si:
Melt pure Si, Seed crystal drawn out slowly
Typical Single Crystal Ingot sizes:
1-2m long, 8cm / 15cm / 30 cm diameter
 Ingot sliced (Diamond saw)
Active Devices: Doping pure silicon
Silicon
Dopant: Phosphorus, N-type
Dopant: Aluminum, P-type
Doping processes:
Diffusion (heat wafer in atmosphere with atoms of dopant)
Ion implantation (ions of dopant are accelerated, bombard surface)
Diode (showing doping)
Active components: Transistors
NPN transistor
MOSFET
Metal-Oxide Silicon
Field Effect Transistor
Active components: Integrated Circuits
Monolithic IC: Entire circuit made on a single crystal wafer
Hybrid IC: Monolithic IC + other components directly assembled into it
Hybrid micro-circuit film components
Active components: IC’s..
Depositing films of materials on substrate to make circuits
Thin Film Processes:
Form components on circuits by vacuum evaporation, sputtering, or anodization
Film thickness is ≤ 5 mm
Thick Film Processes (silk-screening)
Print liquid or paste through a screen (mask) onto substrate  firing (baking)
Film thickness is ~ 10 mm
Silk-screening
IC’s: Resistive elements deposition

vacuum deposition
Diffused Junction Process
- Photolithography is the most
commonly used process
- Photoresists:
positive: more soluble when exposed
negative: less soluble when exposed
- Feature size = f(wavelength)
 small features need low l radiation
- Mask = = Artwork
- Projection:
- Direct: mask scale is 1:1
- Reducing: mask scale is 10:1
Packaging of components
- Packaging puts the chip (silicon) into a protective case
- Package provides external connections that are spaced conveniently
(at distance, arranged in array) for soldering

Avoiding possible heat damage to IC during soldering:
- Solder a chip carrier to the PCB
- Insert chip into carrier

Integrated Circuit (IC) Manufacture
- Slicing the Silicon ingot
- Fabrication of IC’s (Lithography, Sputtering, diffused junction, …)
- Testing each IC on the slice
[source: www.towajapan.co.jp]
- Dicing (cutting each chip out with a diamond saw)
- Packaging
Packaging
- Make leadframe
Steps in Lead Frame Manufacture:
(1) Cut copper strips
(2) Clean in a chemical bath
(3) laminate a layer of photoresist
(4) Expose photoresist through mask
(5) Develop and etch
(6) Remove lamination
(7) Plate internal regions with gold/silver
Dual Inline Package and its lead-frame
- Die attachment (chip bonded to leadframe using epoxy)
- Wire bonding (ultrasonic welding)
- Encapsulation (moisture resistant coating)
- Molding (plastic package)
- Marking (chip number, co. name, marked on package [laser, silkscreen])
- DTFS: deflash, trim the leadframe, form the leads, singulate (cut dambars)
- Leadfinishing: electroplating the leads

Manufacturing glass reinforced epoxy resin copper-clad boards
Boards are produced in "clean-rooms"
Manufacturing process: hot-pressing
• Place copper sheet on the lower plate
• Place few layers of glass cloth impregnated with epoxy on top
• [IF two-sided PCB's]: Place copper sheet on above
• Press between steel plates in a steam-heated hydraulic press (~7,000,000 Pa)
• Water cooling to 25º C
• Trim to clean out extruded epoxy
• Punch/Drill holes for alignment
• Make circuit on PCB (lithography)
• Drill through holes (for component leads)
Multi-layer PCBs
• Similar process as single layer, but takes several steps
