Failure modes, besides bonding strength, were particularly examined for overall bonding quality assessment and OPM screening. Authors' intensive work found that ENEPIG OPM had the highest bonding strength and consistent failure mode over the other two OPM options: ENIG and ENEP.

{"title":"Measurement of thermal resistance of TIMs, heat sinks and interfaces in thermal management systems for IC packages","authors":"S. Somasundaram, A. Tay","doi":"10.1109/IEMT.2010.5746715","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/IEMT.2010.5746715","url":null,"abstract":"With the trend towards ever-powerful chips and evermore-intense heat fluxes, the thermal resistance of interfaces is becoming an important consideration. Thermal interface materials (TIMs) are playing a critical role in the thermal management of advanced chip packages. While the thermal conductivity of TIMs may be relatively easily measured in the laboratory, it is often not easy to establish the value of the thermal resistance of the assembled TIM in an actual package. This is because the thermal resistance of the TIM in an actual package depends on several parameters including bond line thickness, presence of voids, uniformity of bond line and quality of adhesion between TIM and contact surfaces. Hence, it is imperative to establish an easy-to-use and accurate method for evaluating the thermal resistance of TIMs, heat sinks and interfaces in thermal management systems for IC packages. This paper describes the use of a thermal transient method for the characterization of the TIMs of two different functional chip packages, which incorporate integrated heat spreaders. The overall junction to ambient thermal resistance of the packages was also determined. Three different tests were conducted on each package - natural convection test, natural convection with a passive heat sink and forced convection with an active heat sink. In the tests, a step change in heat input to the chip was applied and the resulting thermal transient response of the package was measured every microsecond until equilibrium was reached. The thermal transient profile was then analysed to obtain the structured functions, thermal resistance of the TIM and the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. The paper also describes the thermal resistance, and hence heat transfer coefficients of surfaces, which are cooled by spray cooling. It is concluded that a quick transient testing after the completion of packaging can serve as a reliability tool to ensure if all the parts of a package are assembled properly and will also provide values of parameters such as thermal resistance of TIMs and junction-ambient thermal resistance.","PeriodicalId":133127,"journal":{"name":"2010 34th IEEE/CPMT International Electronic Manufacturing Technology Symposium (IEMT)","volume":"6 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":"116952387","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 corner rounding technique, sacrificial oxidation (SACOX) before gate oxidation, has been practiced on the shallow trench isolation (STI) to improve the CMOS leakage performance. However, the direct implementation of the SACOX on the deep trenched MOSFET having less than 0.5 um trench width is insufficient to eliminate the oxide thinning at the concave corners. The experimental results including the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images are presented to illustrate how the sharp corners vanish. The concave corners are encompassed by a smooth layer of silicon dioxide served as a gate oxide for vertical trenched MOSFET.

Currently, SI and PI analysis is done mostly independently and even though some indirect considerations of each other might be taken during analysis, these SI and PI behaviors doesn't always sum up linearly. This results in very pessimistic designs which does not longer applicable in today's challenging and cost efficient world. Therefore it is crucial to do SI and PI co-simulation in order to achieve lower voltage, higher current and yet cheaper design. In this paper, SI-PI co-simulation has been performed on General Purpose Input Output (GPIO) of interfaces of Intel's latest flip chip chipset. This project's scope also includes lab activities to correlate and validate our simulations results. The most important of all, the findings and lessons learned from this project will also be shared.

Localizing the metal bridging was done by liquid crystal thermal analysis (LCTA) and device layout comparison. Sub-minimum spaces between metal lines were discovered in this metal layer that was created by an interaction between the existing OPC algorithm and a specific feature of two adjacent traces. Simple Boolean algorithms are added to the existing algorithm to correct the metal bridging to remove this final spacing issue and any others like it.
