Quanta SEM (Service)

The Quanta SEM service contract, issued by the Department of Commerce Office of the Director, focuses on addressing manufacturing challenges related to the heterogeneous integration of modular chips in system-in-package designs. The project specifically targets thermal management and mechanical incompatibilities across various package interfaces and building blocks. By utilizing indentation and scanning probe-based measurements, the initiative aims to analyze process-induced alterations in the thermo-mechanical properties of advanced packaging materials. The primary goal is to leverage long-term expertise in nanoscale and microscale mechanical property measurements to provide the industry with improved measurement methodologies and critical data. This effort is intended to enhance predictive manufacturing capabilities for microelectronic materials. The work is slated for performance in Gaithersburg, Maryland, under NAICS code 334413, with Nathali Medina serving as the point of contact.
