With current high complexity of wafer technology plus the drive for cost reduction by narrowing the saw street width, it is a challenge which requires huge effort for wafer sawing process to achieve chipping free process. Higher density of metallization causing higher blade loading during mechanical sawing. This leads to chipping penetrating under the guard ring and damaging the active area. This paper will share all the activities towards chipping free process on a device involving optimization through mechanical sawing, infra red camera and laser grooving process. Blade selection involving various diamond grit size, different concentration, slit design and low k types only able to minimize the occurrence but not totally eliminate it. Finally by performing laser grooving, significant results were achieved with zero chipping occurrences. In addition, suitable laser frequency selection is also important to ensure the best performance. In this case higher frequency laser grooving in combination with mechanical sawing process found to be able to meet the requirement.","PeriodicalId":133127,"journal":{"name":"2010 34th IEEE/CPMT International Electronic Manufacturing Technology Symposium (IEMT)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127197084","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}

Recent developments in bonding technology and capability has resulted in copper wire bonding being targeted at high pin count and high performance applications such as ball grid array packages. Wire sweep performance is extremely important in high I/O products as slight increase in wire sweep may result in wire shorting and eventually losing the functionality of the devices. The gap is especially apparent in multi-tier high pin count ultra fine pitch (40µm) copper wire bonding packages. In this study, wire sweep characterization was performed using two types of 4N 18µm copper wires from two different suppliers. Existing 18µm Au wire from production was used as control. The test vehicle used in this study was a high pin count thermally enhanced plastic ball grid array (TEPBGA) 31mm×31mm package with 689 ball counts. The wire sweep performance of the different Cu wire types at various wire locations using the current production molding compound were also investigated. Wire sweep results showed that Cu wire type A had significant lower wire sweep (approximately 0.5%) compared to current Au wire. However, Cu wire type B showed comparable wire sweep performance as current production Au wire. In summary, wire sweeping resistance of copper wires are strongly dependent on the fabrication processes and heat treatments of the respective wire suppliers. Moreover, it was found that wire sweep percentage was very much influenced by wire locations during transfer molding process.","PeriodicalId":133127,"journal":{"name":"2010 34th IEEE/CPMT International Electronic Manufacturing Technology Symposium (IEMT)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114666194","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}

This paper focuses on the interaction relationship of each assembly process towards lead delamination in Dual in Line (DIP) package. No ground bond delamination is allowable to ensure the package robustness. An experiment was conducted to characterize and understand the effect of assembly-induced lead delamination. The identified critical processes include the staging time control from die placement to curing after die bond, contamination of volatile outgassing from epoxy A in poor air oven circulation during epoxy curing, thermal oxidation, mold compound wettability on leadframe during molding, electro-etching effect from deflashing as well as mechanical force from singulation were investigated. Electrolytic deflashing has identified as the primary root cuase of lead delamination due to electro etching effecct. Secondary factor to further increase the lead delamination is poor mold compound to leadframe adhesion due to imbalance mold flow, mechanical force from singulation and severe copper oxidation. Improved mold tooling concept will be beneficial to further minimize the imbalance mold flow between the top mold and bottom mold. Chemical dipping without electric current is recommended as promising lead delamination results and is reflected in C-SAM (Scanning Acoustic Miscoscope).","PeriodicalId":133127,"journal":{"name":"2010 34th IEEE/CPMT International Electronic Manufacturing Technology Symposium (IEMT)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126667190","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}

An appropriate dicing blade selection, blade preparation / conditioning methodology and dicing tape selection plays an important role in developing a robust saw process. As such, experimental studies were conducted under varying Z1 spindle rotation, Z1 cut depth into Si as well as the blade type property variation as the input factors, in order to improve the ILD peeling and die chipping. The settings of machining parameters and blade types were determined by using the design of experiment (DOE) techniques and the critical process parameters and materials were analyzed statistically by using the analysis of variance (ANOVA). Dicing tape property variations (PO-base or PVC-base) as well as the blade preparation methodology posed some influences on the overall dicing quality, such as die backside chipping, die removal performance, ILD peeling and die topside chipping. SEM imaging and optical visual inspection were conducted to validate the impacts of the ILD peeling / chipping on post-processed low-k wafers. A thorough quantification and categorization of ILD peeling and chipping on heavy metallization at the saw scribe structures were described. As part of the recommendation for future works, a different approach in dicing technology, namely laser grooving was proposed to eliminate ILD peeling and chipping. In conclusion, the optimized dicing recipe for 55nm node low-k wafer suggested by the DOE model are: (1) a thinner PO-base dicing tape, (2) a dicing blade with higher diamond concentration and finer grit size, (3) blade preparation / conditioning done with SiC board and (4) processing at lower spindle rotation and deeper cut depth are much preferred. The overall dicing responses and cutting quality has improved and is better compared to current production recipe.","PeriodicalId":133127,"journal":{"name":"2010 34th IEEE/CPMT International Electronic Manufacturing Technology Symposium (IEMT)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126112162","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}
