Packaging Techniques for Liquid Crystal Polymers

Applications

• Military and Commercial Significance:
• The ultimate promise of this novel packaging platform lies in the ability to integrate next-generation functionality such as high bandwidth optical interconnects or microfluidic networks for device cooling or sensor applications. The ability to microfabricate such intricate structures on a homogeneous device platform will offer designers a true “system-in-a-package” solution across a wide array of markets and applications. Foster-Miller has already demonstrated application of the technology for a number of Army and other customers, including ambulatory physiological monitoring electrodes, wearable global positioning system (GPS) patch antenna modules, and implantable electrode arrays for interfacing with the central and peripheral nervous system.
• Foster-Miller continues to explore applications with government and commercial customers in a number of diverse markets, including optoelectronics, radio frequency components, Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), and medical devices.
