Abstract
Integrated circuit moisture resistant apparatuses (10) are provided for preventing moisture absorption by an integrated circuit (24). The moisture resistant apparatuses include at least one integrated circuit housing (12) that has a plurality of inner walls (18), which form at least one inner cavity (28). A desiccant body (30) is coupled to at least a portion of the plurality of inner walls (18) and absorbs moisture within the inner cavity (28). A method for performing the same is provided. Also, a manufacturing method of preventing moisture absorption by the integrated circuit (24) is provided.
Claims20
A method of preventing moisture absorption by an integrated circuit comprising:
- forming an integrated circuit housing comprising a plurality of inner walls forming an inner cavity;
- coupling a desiccant body to at least a portion of said plurality of inner walls;
- and
- inserting the integrated circuit in said inner cavity.
A method of preventing moisture absorption by an integrated circuit comprising:
- forming an integrated circuit housing comprising a plurality of inner walls forming an inner cavity;
- coupling a desiccant body to at least a portion of the integrated circuit;
- and
- inserting the integrated circuit and said desiccant body in said inner cavity.
An integrated circuit moisture resistant apparatus for preventing moisture absorption by an integrated circuit comprising:
- at least one integrated circuit housing comprising a plurality of inner walls forming at least one inner cavity;
- and
- at least one desiccant body coupled to at least a portion of said plurality of inner walls and absorbing moisture within said at least one inner cavity.
A manufacturing method of preventing moisture absorption by an integrated circuit comprising:
- removing an integrated circuit moisture resistant apparatus from a container;
- initiating assembly of an electronic system;
- absorbing moisture in an inner cavity of said integrated circuit moisture resistant apparatus;
- and
- maintaining the integrated circuit in said integrated circuit moisture resistant apparatus until assembly usage thereof.
