“Our Frontgrade engineering team worked meticulously to meet the incredibly strict standards required to receive QML Organic Class Y certification,” said Mike Elias, president and chief executive officer of Frontgrade Technologies. “The robustness of these organic IC packages translates into an impressively low SWAP-C solution for our customers.”
Frontgrade’s organic IC packages use substrates that can support extremely high data transfer rates and the integration of multiple dies within a single package, allowing a greater diversity of functionality. Organic substrates also facilitate more effective thermal management and heat extraction in a 50% smaller footprint with 75% less mass while providing electrical performance that is 10 to 20 times greater than a traditional hermetic flip chip ceramic solution.
The Frontgrade facility in Colorado Springs is focused on the design and production of analog, digital, and mixed-signal ICs for the aerospace, defense, medical, and industrial markets.
