English abstract:
The ongoing miniaturization of micro-opto-electro-mechanical-systems requires compact multifunctional packaging
solutions like o ered by the three-dimensional MID (molded interconnect device) technology which combines
integrated electronic circuitry and mechanical support structures directly into one compact housing. Due to the
inherently large thermal resistance of thermoplastic MID substrate materials, temperature-sensitive applications
require carefully arranged thermal vias in order to reduce the thermal resistance of the packaging e ectively.
This paper presents the analysis and optimization of various laser-drilled thermal via design parameters of MIDs
including hole diameter, pitch, plating thickness of the Cu/Ni/Au metallization layers as well as the void level
of the lling material inside the vias.
