These sensor modules must remain robust under harsh ambient environment. Hence, designing novel high temperature interconnects material bill of materials (BOM) with compatible barrier metallization [1-2] and robust hermetic sealing material further enhanced sensor reliability. By reducing BOM oxidation degradation at high ambient temperature [3-4], reliability of the sensor is maintained. For this study, the TV (test vehicle, Figure 1) consist of an Alumina (Al2O3) substrate casing which houses all the active components and is hermetically sealed with a Silicon (Si) die that acts as an IR filter. Laser and seam welding are common method of performing hermetic sealing but they suffer from low throughput issues. An investigative benchmark of various hermetic sealing methods and materials will be discussed in great details, targeting Alumina (Al2O3) to Silicon (Si) interfaces sealing. Both sealing surfaces have no metallization. Materials such as high temperature low outgassing adhesive, glass frit paste and ceramic paste will be applied on the TV via dispensing or screen printing method and their corresponding hermeticity performance of the sealing interface will be investigated. The silicon filter is 3.7 × 3.7 mm in size and will be mounted on a 3.8 × 3.8mm ceramic substrate casing. TV hermeticity degradation response (base on MIL-STD-883J Method 1014.14 which requires 10−9 cc/sec leak rate) is examined after reliability evaluation is conducted, which include Thermal Cycling (TC, −55°C to 250°C, 500 cycles) and High Temperature Storage (HTS, 250°C, 500 hours). The objective of this paper is to report the high temperature reliability performance of various benchmarked sealing materials and understand and document the degradation mechanism and hermeticity response (via MIL-STD leak test) after HTS and TC test at 250°C.","PeriodicalId":136525,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 18th Electronics Packaging Technology Conference (EPTC)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131092155","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 accurate analysis of venting is important for realistic prediction of voids that may occur during chip encapsulation. This study reports a perspective investigation of computational modeling of air venting analysis with fluid-structure interaction (FSI) during microchip encapsulation process. The venting analysis is to calculate the pressure drop of the air that passes through the vent and include the effects of air pressure on the flow front. Through the integrated method with FSI method, we can predict precisely the FSI behavior with the dynamic mesh deformation technique simultaneously in accordance with venting analysis. This is different from previous study that only one way considered fixed geometry during venting analysis. Furthermore, a series of analyses are conducted to compare the experimental data to study the void risk. This result shows that the proposed modeling methodology is able to obtain better match of the experiment vs. simulation data than a traditional analysis.","PeriodicalId":136525,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 18th Electronics Packaging Technology Conference (EPTC)","volume":"1997 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132491479","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}

With the advancement of various fan-out Wafer Level Packaging (FOWLP) designs, this advanced technology has proven to be a more optimal and promising solution compared to fan-in WLP because of the greater design flexibility in having more input/output (I/O) and improved thermal performance. In addition, FOWLP shows superior high-frequency performance with its shorter and simpler interconnection compared to flip chip packaging. eWLB (embedded wafer level BGA) is a type of FOWLP that enables applications requiring smaller form factor, excellent heat dissipation and thin package profiles. It also has the potential to evolve into various configurations with proven yields and manufacturing experience based on over 8 years of high volume production. This paper discusses the recent advancements in robust board level reliability performance of eWLB for automotive applications. A Design of Experiment (DOE) study will be reviewed which demonstrates improved Temperature Cycle on Board (TCoB) performance with experimental results. Several DOE studies were planned and test vehicles were prepared with the variables of solder materials, solder mask opening/Cu pad size of redistribution layer (RDL) design, copper (Cu) RDL thickness and under bump metallurgy (UBM), and Cu pad design (NSMD, SMD) on a printed circuit board (PCB). With these parametric studies and TCoB reliability tests, the test vehicle passed 1000x temperature cycles (TC). Daisy chain test vehicles were used for TCoB reliability performance in industry standard test conditions.","PeriodicalId":136525,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 18th Electronics Packaging Technology Conference (EPTC)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122799429","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}

FOWLP technology offers significant cost and performance advantages relative to other packaging approaches and is, therefore, receiving widespread adoption throughout the industry for applications such as smartphone/tablet application processor (AP), baseband (BB) module, field-programmable gate array (FPGA), graphics processing unit (GPU), etc. As a result, FOWLP technology is expected to ramp at a strong growth rate over the immediate future [1]. FOWLP technology comprises conventional under-bump metallization (UBM) and pillar/micro-pillar, as well as new routing/connection applications such as fine line redistribution layer (RDL) (sub 5×5 μm), integrated via-RDL structures and mega pillars (>150 μm) [2]. These new applications drive fundamental challenges in electrodeposition. For instance, the mega pillars consist of 180–220 μm (200 μm average) copper thickness while standard copper pillar applications typically vary between 20 and 40 μm (30 μm average) thickness. This large disparity in thickness can translate to approximately 6x plating times if a similar deposition rate was to be used. Furthermore, some integration requirements for mega pillars warrant extremely high within-die uniformities and flat bump shape. Attaining such high quality plating performance can greatly minimize the need for downstream grinding requirements. This paper will focus on the advancement of copper electrodeposition for mega pillars.","PeriodicalId":136525,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 18th Electronics Packaging Technology Conference (EPTC)","volume":"115 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114133656","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}
