OnChip Devices Introduces a Zener Diode Family That Offers the Highest Level of Electrostatic Discharge Protection Available in the Industry

With Outstanding ESD Protection Levels of Greater than 30kV Contact, OnChip’s ESD60x120 Silicon Zener Diodes are Available in Various Clamp Voltage Levels to Accommodate a Wide Range of Applications

Santa Clara, CA – OnChip Devices, a world leader in Integrated Passive Devices (IPD), has introduced miniature, wire-bondable, 1-channel silicon electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection diodes that are offered in various breakdown voltages. These ESD60x120 Zener diodes are Transient Voltage Suppressors that are available in seven breakdown voltage levels, which range from 6V to 40V with intermediate values of 8V, 13V, 14V, 20V, and 37V. They are designed with a very large single top-pad that simplifies wire-bonding. This large top-pad can potentially be used as a Chip Carrier targeted towards High Power LEDs, RF Circuits, Microwave Modules, and various other applications that require very high levels of ESD protection. The ESD60x120 diodes have a large cross-sectional area junction enabling the conduction of high transient currents. They provide superior electrical characteristics such as lower clamping voltage and exhibit literally no performance degradation when compared to Multilayer Varistors (MLV). All devices safely dissipate ESD strikes of over 30kV contact discharge per IEC-61000 International Standard, meet the stringent MIL-STD-883 conditions, and are in full RoHS compliance. When selecting the right Zener diode for ESD protection, engineers should ensure that the breakdown voltage of the ESD60x120 is larger than the Maximum Operating Voltage or Signal Amplitude of the circuit that needs to be protected.

“We are excited to launch a new silicon Zener diode family that offers the highest level of transient voltage protection available in the industry” said Ashok Chalaka, President and CEO. OnChip’s ESD60x120 diodes are 60 x 120 mils (1.5mm x 3mm) in size with a much smaller thickness ranging from only 4 mils to 12 mils (6, 8, and 10 mils also available). The ESD60x120 Zener diodes exhibit a breakdown voltage of up to 40V. They can be used for protecting a number of LEDs in a string ranging from 1 to 10 such as in RGB modules and other multi-chip modules. Protection from both positive and negative pulses (bidirectional signal) can also be possible by connecting two individual diodes with back-to-back topology.

OnChip Has Developed a Very Thin (0.1mm) Silicon Based Dual-Capacitor Ideal for RFID Applications

Santa Clara, CA – OnChip Devices, a world leader in Integrated Passive Devices (IPD), has introduced a dual thin-film capacitor that is designed for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) applications requiring both a tuning and a detuning capacitance in a single chip. OnChip’s DTCA chip features topside wire bonding pads to support either Chip-on-Board (COB) or Direct Chip Attachment (DCA) manufacturing flows. The chip uses a unique LPCVD (Low-Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition) Silicon Nitride as the capacitor dielectric. This dielectric material offers high stability and Q values, exhibits low temperature and voltage coefficients, and achieves capacitance values in the range of 45pF to 165pF.

dtca pr small

0.1mm Dual Silicon Capacitor

By connecting the internal capacitors either individually, in series, or in parallel, the resonant frequency of the LC antenna circuit may easily be varied. As an example, if each capacitor value on the chip is 68pF, when these 2 caps are connected in series, the value will be 34pF and when connect in parallel, the value will be 136pF. The capacitance network is well suited for 13.56MHz ISO 15693 smart card applications, ISO 18000-3 RFID item management tags, and other applications that require precision, high frequency operation, and an ultra-thin profile. Intended to save space while providing superior electrical performance, OnChip’s DTCA dual capacitor chip is only 950um x 950um (37mils x 37mils or 0.95mm x 0.95mm) in size and is available as thin as 100um (4mils, 0.004″, or 0.1mm). The wire bondable top pad typically consists of aluminum, while the optional back metal is gold.

“Compared to conventional RF capacitors, OnChip’s DTCA capacitor offers extremely stable capacitance over a wide range of frequencies from 1MHz to several GHz. Additionally, their semiconductor construction provides an ultra-high Self-Resonant Frequency (SRF) and exceptionally low Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR)” said Ashok Chalaka, President and CEO. “Unlike Multi-layer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCC), DTCA offers an extremely repeatable frequency response due to the fact that the devices use a single-layer dielectric.” Typical applications for the dual capacitor chip include RFID resonance circuits and Chip-on-Board designs.

Availability and Pricing
The DTCA chip is available immediately worldwide at a price range of $0.07 to $0.15 USD (depending on capacitance value/tolerance and the chip thickness) in quantities of 10,000 units.

OnChip Establishes New Capability to Provide Hi-Rel Visual Inspection Services for Wafers or Bare Die Semiconductors

OnChip is now offering 100% visual inspection for Intergated Circuits using both low and high power microscopes that meet commercial, military, and medical Electronics specifications

pr photo high power microscope-sm

Santa Clara, CA – OnChip has established new capability to offer 100% visual inspection using both low and high power microscopes that meet Commercial, Military and Medical Electronics specifications. Inspection is done to look for various types of visual defects.

Some of the more common defects include:

  • Embedded foreign material
  • Metallization or Passivation voids & irregularities
  • Contamination such as liquid or adhesive residues and surface particles
  • Surface scratches caused by test probes or wafer handlers
  • Dicing defects such as chip outs and cracks

Semiconductor ICs (Integrated Circuits) are extremely fragile and endure a variety of stresses during wafer fabrication, testing and dicing. They are easily prone to defects that would either prevent the device from operating correctly or pose a reliability concern for long-term operation. These defects are caused either during wafer fabrication or mechanically-induced during handling. The extent to which any defect may be acceptable would be defined by the appropriate criteria selected to fit the application environment. Units that are defective can be effectively removed by visually inspecting the devices under high magnification. There are many different inspection criteria, but the most common one is MIL-STD-883, Method 2010. This inspection standard defines the equipment to be used for the inspection, magnification ranges, what defects to look for and quantifies the amount of any particular defect that is acceptable.

The ability to visually inspect a circuit requires a lot of skill and training, which increases through experience and a continuous training program. OnChip employs a highly qualified staff of inspectors who have over 30 years of experience in this field. The company works very closely with customers during the initial phase to ensure proper calibration to the inspection needs. Visual inspection services are offered either in wafer-form or after the device has been sawn and placed in chip trays such as waffle packs or gel packs.

OnChip Introduces Submounts to Improve Efficiency of HB LED

OnChip Offers Silicon and Ceramic Carriers or Submounts that greatly improve the performance of High Brightness Light Emitting Diodes

Santa Clara, CA – A global leader in Integrated Passive Devices (IPD), OnChip today announced the ability to provide Silicon and Ceramic Carriers or Submounts for HB LED (High Brightness Light Emitting Diode) manufacturers. With major advantages of power savings, increased life expectancy and faster response time over traditional bulbs, HB LEDs are rapidly taking over many applications such as LCD backlighting, traffic lights, automotive lighting, camera flash and even standard lighting. HB LEDs are more efficient and longer lasting than both incandescent and CFLs.

HB LEDs are predominantly built with Indium Gallium Nitride (InGaN) technology. LEDs using InGaN come with several design challenges such as electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitivity and package thermal coefficient of expansion (TCE) issues. InGaN chips are generally considered Class 1 devices and in many cases, a discharge of only 10 Volts can destroy such sensitive components. In comparison, static charge of up to 30,000 Volts is not uncommon and can be generated quite easily. Studies indicate that ESD damage to electronics and associated equipment is estimated at over $10 billion annually. ESD-damaged LEDs can appear dim, dead, shorted, or have low Vf or Vr. TCE mismatch between the LED chip and the lead-frame or package is another significant reliability threat. OnChip addresses both problems with these new submount offerings. OnChip produces silicon and ceramic submount that serves as an inter-poser between the InGaN chip and the lead-frame. Submounts reduce the TCE mismatch, while providing ESD protection via integrated zener diodes. Ceramics are ideal for High Power LEDs and OnChip offers both Aluminum Oxide and Aluminum Nitride materials. The Company also provides miniature silicon ESD diodes that can be mounted alongside the LED chips. These ESD diodes are available both as flip chips – ESD0201 and as single-wire bond chips – ESD-8×8. Submounts offer optical benefits as well. These devices contain solder bumps, enabling flip chip assembly of the LED chip. This approach eliminates shadows caused by wire-bonding. Furthermore, submounts offer a reflective metal surface which help direct the light in the desired direction.

Availability and Pricing
OnChip Silicon and Ceramic are typically built to customer specifications. Pricing varies depending on the size of the submount. Lead-time is 6 to 8 weeks upon receipt of order and customer’s final specifications. Developed at the OnChip Santa Clara facility, these components are produced to the highest quality standards. Please contact sales@onchip.com for a quote or additional information.
