The test is performed by making contact between probes and metallic pads on the module substrate. A visual feedback positioning system is employed to position a probe head, in which the probes are installed, precisely on the module. The prober has four TV cameras to compensate for the location error of module mounting, the location error of probe head holding, and thermal deformation of the module and the prober. Control values of the positioning table, which carries the probe head to a testing point, are calculated by some coordinate transformations with the use of the TV cameras' outputs and position data measured in the fabrication process of the module and the probe head.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":127257,"journal":{"name":"[1991 Proceedings] Eleventh IEEE/CHMT International Electronics Manufacturing Technology Symposium","volume":"31 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121993375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The second layer maps the coefficients of the spatial models to equipment settings. All this is done before any optimization scheme is employed. The process engineer then may optimize the etch process by maximizing coefficients which contribute to the desired maximum etch rate, while minimizing coefficients which contribute to nonuniformity. He also may minimize coefficients which represent undesired etches, and thus obtain etch selectivity.

Although HDMI multichip module fabrication equipment and techniques are somewhat related to semiconductor fabrication, there are significant differences which are due to the size of finished parts and to the materials used in the fabrication of MCMs. Past its initial learning curve, minimized costs for second level interconnection are expected from the HDMI technology, because of its optimized geometries compared to other potential second level interconnect technologies. The recently completed pilot facility is to provide data in preparation for the construction of other future large facilities capable of producing parts in large volume, at low cost, for the commercial market. It is pointed out that in order to compete in the world market and to keep a leading edge over competitors, older labor intensive techniques of operating semiconductor plants must be replaced by aggressive automatization.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":127257,"journal":{"name":"[1991 Proceedings] Eleventh IEEE/CHMT International Electronics Manufacturing Technology Symposium","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129273915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One type of approach being tried in the industry is interconnecting stacked dies by routing their metal lines to the edge of the die and then strapping the appropriate lines from each die together. An approach being pursued by the Center for Microelectronics Research (CMR) at the University of South Florida is the creation of silicon interconnect vias for communication through the active chip or wafer. Vias of 1 to 2 mil diameters have been successfully created by laser ablation of silicon. Studies are currently in progress to determine the effect such via creation has on nearby active devices. A test vehicle containing transistors and capacitors of various geometries is being employed for the purpose of measuring any detriment that the laser drilling has when vias are created. Data are presented on whether any changes have been measured in various parameters, such as subthreshold voltages and current leakage. Scanning electron micrographs are shown, and progress to date on the methodology employed for metallizing the side walls of the vias is discussed.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":127257,"journal":{"name":"[1991 Proceedings] Eleventh IEEE/CHMT International Electronics Manufacturing Technology Symposium","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117217099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was decided to use the IBM multi-layer ceramic (MLC) technology for the carrier substrate because of proven reliability, volume manufacturing capacity, multi-chip capability, wiring flexibility, and performance. Second, it was decided to use a specially designed surface-mount technology (SMT) interconnection to the card instead of the industry standard SMT or pin in hole because of I/O density, cost, and performance. The SMT interconnection was refined through theoretical and empirical investigation along with the low cost, high manufacturability requirement. The result was a high melting point Sn/Pb ball placed in a 0.50\" grid array attached to the substrate and card using eutectic solder. Design concepts to aid in manufacturing are discussed together with the manufacturing/process design, and a typical example of this packaging technology is presented.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":127257,"journal":{"name":"[1991 Proceedings] Eleventh IEEE/CHMT International Electronics Manufacturing Technology Symposium","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116271565","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
