wafer, as shown in figure 1-27. This type of structure imposes no electrical difficulty, <strong>and</strong> parasiticcapacitance (under 0.05 picofarad per lead) is equivalent to that of a wire-bonded <strong>and</strong> brazed-chipassembly. In addition, the electrodes may be tapered to allow for lower inductance, impedance matching,<strong>and</strong> better heat conductance. The beam-lead technique is easily accomplished <strong>and</strong> does not have thedisadvantages of chip brazing <strong>and</strong> wire bonding. The feasibility of this technique has been demonstratedin a variety of digital, linear, <strong>and</strong> thin-film circuits.Figure 1-27.—Beam-lead technique.Another advance in packaging is that of increasing the size of DIPs. General purpose DIPs have from4 to 16 pins. Because of lsi <strong>and</strong> vlsi, manufacturers are producing DIPs with up to 64 pins. Although sizeis increased considerably, all the advantages of the DIP are retained. DIPs are normally designed to aparticular specification set by the user.Q29. What is the purpose of the IC package?Q30. What are the three most common types of packages?Q31. What two methods of manufacture are being used to eliminate bonding wires?EQUIVALENT CIRCUITSAt the beginning of this topic, we discussed many applications of microelectronics. You shouldunderst<strong>and</strong> that these applications cover all areas of modern electronics technology. Microelectronic ICsare produced that can be used in many of these varying circuit applications to satisfy the needs of moderntechnology. This section will introduce you to some of these applications <strong>and</strong> will show you someEQUIVALENT CIRCUIT comparisons of discrete components <strong>and</strong> integrated circuits.J-K FLIP-FLOP AND IC SIZESIntegrated circuits can be produced that combine all the elements of a complete electronic circuit.This can be done with either a single chip of silicon or a single chip of silicon in combination with filmcomponents. The importance of this new production method in the evolution of microelectronics can bedemonstrated by comparing a conventional J-K flip-flop circuit incorporating solid-state discrete devices<strong>and</strong> the same type of circuit employing integrated circuitry. (A J-K flip-flop is a circuit used primarily incomputers.)1-25
