Advanced Packaging

Thrust Areas

Packaging 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 six major thrust areas in Advanced Microsystems are described below.

 

3D Packaging
High capability, small volume packaging solutions are necessary to microsystems.
