Ultra high-temperature plastic package and method of manufacture

A liquid crystal polymer material produced by a method comprising the steps of:

• synthesizing a first polymeric material having a first melting temperature;
• injection molding the first polymeric material into a shape;
• heating the molded first polymeric material in its molded shape at a first rate of between about 0.1° C. per hour and about 10° C. per hour to a first predetermined temperature below the melting temperature of the first polymeric material;
• and
• heating the first polymeric material in its molded shape at a second rate of between 0.1° C. per hour and about 10° C. per hour to a second predetermined temperature higher than the melting temperature of the first polymeric material.

A liquid crystal polymer material produced by a method comprising the steps of:

• injection molding a polymeric material into a shape;
• increasing the temperature of the molded polymeric material at a rate of between about 0.1° C. per hour and about 10° C. per hour until the temperature of the polymeric material reaches a first temperature between about 10° C. and about 30° C. below an initial melting temperature of the polymeric material;
• maintaining the temperature of the molded polymeric material between about 10° C. and about 30° C. below the initial melting temperature of the polymeric material for at least about one hour;
• and
• increasing the temperature of the molded polymeric material at a rate of between about 0.1° C. per hour and about 10° C. per hour until the temperature of the polymeric material reaches a second temperature between about 40° C. and about 50° C. below a desired melting temperature of the polymeric material which is higher than the initial melting temperature of the polymeric material.
