  • Abstract
    Typical semiconductor, ceramic packaging materials, and typical commercial raw materials used in formulating ceramic packaging materials were analyzed for alpha-particle-emission characteristics and for trace uranium and thorium contents. Results indicate the possibilities of achieving low alpha-particle-emitting ceramic substrates, covers, and sealants.
