Flexible printed circuit boards SUMILITE®TFP

Details
Among the necessities of life are cell phones and Personal Handyphone System. Particularly foldable cell phones are more compact and lighter in weight and they are getting more convenient for use day by day. Flexible substrates are the very supporter of such useful apparatus. They exhibit outstanding flexural durability at the hinge part where specific bending strength is required. Such an advantageous feature plays an important role when used for notebook PC's hinge part.
Applications:
Interconnections and wiring of display devices for PCs, cell phones, PDAs, etc.

Precision molded products

Details
Electronic and optical application: our precision hoop molding technology allows making low profile & low cost.
IT/Audio application: it is possible to make not only CDs, but also DVDs and Blue-Ray optical pick-up bases plastics owing to outstanding heat radiation and dimensional stability of our own development.
Applications:
Electronic components:
SMD packages for mobile communication apparatus.
IT/Audio related parts:
Optical pick-up base for CDs, DVDs and Blue-Ray and shassis

Epoxy resin molding compounds for encapsulation of semiconductor devices SUMIKON®EME

Details
Sumitomo Bakelite is serving the IC encapsulating material market as a top share supplier in the world. Since 1971, with persistent efforts towards technological innovations, we have been playing the leading role in the industry. An integrated manufacturing system comprising of 4 plants in 4 countries (i.e. Kyushu, Singapore, China, and Taiwan) facilitates smoother delivery to clients worldwide. We provide encapsulating materials in a wide range to comply with versatile requirements for semiconductor packages.
Applications:
Protection, moisture prevention, insulation of semiconductor devices by forming molded packages for various semiconductors sealed therein.

Coating resins for semiconductor wafers SUMIRESIN EXCEL®CRC

Details
In 1997, Sumitomo Bakelite became the first in the world to commercialize and mass produce positive type photosensitive polyimides. They are characterized by high resolution, high adhesion, low water absorption, and environmentally friendly stability. Please feel free to contact the responsible person and department for details.
Applications:
Semiconductor wafer buffer coatings, rerouting of semiconductor wafer level packages including bumping.

Adhesive tapes for assembling semiconductors SUMILITE®IBF

Details
Stacked CSPs comprising a Flash and a SRAM as double staged devices are widely adopted for cell phones. It is estimated in the future the number of stacked stages will be further increased where the bonding between chips will be difficult by conventional paste and die-attach films will be the main stream. Die-attach films of Sumitomo Bakelite can be laminated at normal temperature which effectively prevents warpage because no thermal stress is imposed on laminated films.
Applications:
Adhesion of IC chips with lead frames and organic substrates. Newly developed die attach films with dicing function are also available.
