Abstract
As a key vertical interconnection microstructure, Through-Silicon Via (TSV) plays an important role in three-dimension (3D) chips. The reliability issues of TSV are becoming more and more prominent in the increasingly harsh service environment, and the failure behavior of TSV under thermal cycle loading is the one to be solved urgently. In this study, the thermal expansion behavior and microstructure evolution along different paths and interfaces of TSV under thermal cycle loading are investigated base on Crystal Plasticity Element Method (CPFEM). Results reveal the evolution law of TSV grains and grain boundaries. The mechanical response along different path and interface of TSV is also clarified. Relevant results are expected to provide a certain reference for the failure analysis of TSV.
期刊介绍:
The scope of the publication includes, but is not limited to Reliability of: Devices, Materials, Processes, Interfaces, Integrated Microsystems (including MEMS & Sensors), Transistors, Technology (CMOS, BiCMOS, etc.), Integrated Circuits (IC, SSI, MSI, LSI, ULSI, ELSI, etc.), Thin Film Transistor Applications. The measurement and understanding of the reliability of such entities at each phase, from the concept stage through research and development and into manufacturing scale-up, provides the overall database on the reliability of the devices, materials, processes, package and other necessities for the successful introduction of a product to market. This reliability database is the foundation for a quality product, which meets customer expectation. A product so developed has high reliability. High quality will be achieved because product weaknesses will have been found (root cause analysis) and designed out of the final product. This process of ever increasing reliability and quality will result in a superior product. In the end, reliability and quality are not one thing; but in a sense everything, which can be or has to be done to guarantee that the product successfully performs in the field under customer conditions. Our goal is to capture these advances. An additional objective is to focus cross fertilized communication in the state of the art of reliability of electronic materials and devices and provide fundamental understanding of basic phenomena that affect reliability. In addition, the publication is a forum for interdisciplinary studies on reliability. An overall goal is to provide leading edge/state of the art information, which is critically relevant to the creation of reliable products.
