Dual Inline PackageThe dual inline package (DIP) was designed primarily to overcome the difficulties associated withh<strong>and</strong>ling <strong>and</strong> inserting packages into mounting boards. DIPs are easily inserted by h<strong>and</strong> or machine <strong>and</strong>require no spreaders, spacers, insulators, or lead-forming tools. St<strong>and</strong>ard h<strong>and</strong> tools <strong>and</strong> soldering ironscan be used to field-service the devices. Plastic DIPs are finding wide use in commercial applications, <strong>and</strong>a number of military systems are incorporating ceramic DIPS.The progressive stages in the assembly of a ceramic DIP are illustrated in figure 1-24, views (A)through (E). The integrated-circuit die is s<strong>and</strong>wiched between the two ceramic elements, as shown inview (A). The element on the left of view (A) is the bottom half of the s<strong>and</strong>wich <strong>and</strong> will hold theintegrated-circuit die. The ceramic section on the right is the top of the s<strong>and</strong>wich. The large well in view(B) protects the IC die from mechanical stress during sealing operations. Each of the ceramic elements iscoated with glass which has a low melting temperature for subsequent joining <strong>and</strong> sealing. View (B)shows the Kovar lead frame stamped <strong>and</strong> bent into its final shape. The excess material is intended topreserve pin alignment. The holes at each end are for the keying jig used in the final sealing operation.The lower half of the ceramic package is inserted into the lead frame shown in view (C). The die ismounted in the well <strong>and</strong> leads are attached. The top ceramic elements are bonded to the bottom elementshown in view (D) <strong>and</strong> the excess material is removed from the package. View (E) is the final product.Figure 1-24.—DIP packaging steps.Ceramic DIPs are processed individually while plastic DIPs are processed in quantities of two ormore (in chain fashion). After processing, the packages are sawed apart. The plastic package also uses aKovar lead frame, but the leads are not bent until the package is completed. Because molded plastic is1-23
