Integrated Circuit Assembly & Test

In electronics manufacturing, integrated circuit assembly is the final stage of semiconductor device fabrication, in which the tiny block of semiconducting material is encased in a supporting case that prevents physical damage and corrosion. The case, known as a "package", supports the electrical contacts which connect the device to a circuit board. Once the final "front-end" processes are complete,… More

In electronics manufacturing, integrated circuit assembly is the final stage of semiconductor device fabrication, in which the tiny block of semiconducting material is encased in a supporting case that prevents physical damage and corrosion. The case, known as a "package", supports the electrical contacts which connect the device to a circuit board. Once the final "front-end" processes are complete, final device testing is done to verify that electronic performance is satisfactory. Less
