StratEdge Powers Up for 2026: Showcasing Molded Ceramic Packages at IMAPS Device Packaging and GOMACTech

~ New white paper available, Die-on-Tab for Compound Semiconductors: Enabling Advanced RF Power Systems

SANTEE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--StratEdge Corporation, a leader in the design, production, and assembly of high-frequency, high-power, and high reliability packages, will highlight its molded ceramic and gold plated tab products lines at two March exhibitions. Come see us at the IMAPS Device Packaging Conference exhibition, March 3-4 in Phoenix, AZ, and the GOMACTech exhibition, March 10‑11 in New Orleans, LA.

StratEdge’s gold plated tabs support eutectic die attachment of gallium nitride (GaN) and other high-frequency, high-power devices using gold-tin (AuSn) and gold-silicon (AuSi). For chip-on-board (COB) applications, the chip is attached to the CMC tab before it is installed onto the board. This approach is well-suited for organic boards, which cannot withstand eutectic die attach temperatures.

StratEdge will also be available to discuss molded ceramic package options, including MC Series configurations for RF and microwave applications up to 18 GHz. Molded ceramic packages, with over 200 standard outlines available, provide a vast array of options for applications requiring MIL-STD reliability, such as defense aerospace and harsh environments.

“Our team is ready to help engineers evaluate die-on-tab workflows and packaging options that balance power, reliability, and manufacturability,” said Casey Krawiec, VP of Sales at StratEdge. “As a designer and manufacturer of packages for high-frequency, high-power, and high-reliability devices for over 40 years, we at StratEdge certainly are proponents of the use of packages. But we understand why designers of systems operating in Ku through E bands may decide the advantages of using a tab for COB outweigh the disadvantages.”
