Sandia develops innovative microsystem integration solutions to support Sandia's National Security Mission and its Strategic Business Units.
The Advanced Micro- systems Packaging organization develops technologies that support the delivery of integrated microsystems to a diverse customer base with components from Sandia's microsystems organizations and commercial suppliers.
Our activities involve
- research
- development
- deliveryof new packaging technologies required to integrate a diverse set of components
Components include
- micromachines
- advanced photonics
- microsensors
- rf devices
- analog and digital integrated circuits
Our six major thrust areas are listed below.
- 3D Packaging
- MEMS Packaging
- Thermal Management & Microfluidic Technologies
- Advanced MCM Technology
- COTS/PEMS Reliability
- Rapid Hybrid Prototyping
It is critical for Sandia to develop ways of integrating these dissimilar technologies to deliver microsystems needed for our mission of national security. |
3D Packaging
High capability, small volume packaging solutions are necessary to microsystems.

Advanced MCM Technology
Advanced MCM Technology integrates high density interconnection for maximum performance in multi-chip modules.
Active cooling built into MCM technology
COTS/PEMS Reliability
A challenge we face is determining the reliability and risks associated with using commercial-off-the-shelf, plastic-encapsulated microelectronics.
COTS/PEMS
Rapid Hybrid Prototyping
We provide packaging solutions from prototyping to WR-certification for a wide range of products.
