When stacking die and spacers, it is critical to control the thickness of each component and the epoxy bondlines to maintain tight tolerances for the overall height. This precision is essential to ensure the reliability and performance of the final assembly. Accurate control of these dimensions helps to avoid issues such as misalignment, thermal stress, and electrical connectivity problems, which can arise from variations in the stack height. Therefore, meticulous attention to detail during the stacking and bonding process is crucial for achieving optimal results.
