Glob Top and Dam & Fill Encapsulants
Glob-top and dam-and-fill resins provide reliable protection for sensitive electronic components such as bare silicon chips, crystal oscillators, RF components, BGAs, and CSPs.
The epoxy-based materials are characterised by a high glass transition temperature (Tg) and a low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), making them suitable for demanding applications.
They offer high resistance to:
- Thermal cycling between −55 °C and +200 °C
- Moisture exposure, for example 2,000 hours at 85 °C and 85% relative humidity
This makes the materials ideal for applications requiring long-term reliability and protection under extreme environmental conditions.

While dam-and-fill encapsulants are generally used for larger chip applications, glob-top encapsulants are primarily used for smaller chips. To minimise process time, the chemistry of the dam-and-fill encapsulants has been optimised for a co-curing process.
