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).

It is widely recognized that the CTEs of many bondable materials are temperature dependent. The residual stress is induced between the bonding interface during the cooling process. This residual stress degrades the device's performance, e.g. its offset, linearity, sensitivity or dynamic behavior. Currently, the mainstream methods for improving anodic bonding performance focus on reducing the bonding temperature, using a thinner glass layer, or using materials with optimized CTE (similar to silicon over a wide temperature range) to reduce the residual stress. As we understand[1], decreasing the bonding temperature reduces the bond quality. In this work, the residual stress is investigated by using the classical lamination theory (CLT) and experiments. The experimental observation showed a good agreement with the CLT calculation method. The study illustrates an efficient methodology to estimate the residual stress in an anodically bonded pair which leads to some suggestions to optimize the design of wafer level packaging.","PeriodicalId":136525,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 18th Electronics Packaging Technology Conference (EPTC)","volume":"5 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":"125582665","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}

For such a sensor network construction, the enormous numerical fusion devices that CMOS devices and MEMS sensors are integrated are essential. To develop WLCSP (Wafer Level Chip Size Packaging) technologies as high density packaging technology for mass production of the high reliability and low-cost devices, improving performance and downsizing of these devices, is important including novel process integration. Considering new integration of WLCSP in future, it is considered necessary to develop DRIE (Deep Reactive Ion Etching) technology for etching Si, mold, metal and insulator, or heterogeneous sacks of these materials. We have developed Non-Bosch “scallop-free” etching method for Si DRIE in our original high density NLD (magnetic Neutral Loop Discharge) plasma. [1] In this work, the first trial of Bosch etching was conducted using same plasma source of Non-Bosch. It is quietly important to control atmosphere of the sealed cavity with MEMS, there is a possibility that higher-quality controlling technology for atmosphere of sealed cavity is required with WLCSP evolution in future. Conventional MEMS etching method is Bosch etching. In Bosch method, Si is etched to anisotropic profile by using fluorine radical reaction to Si, and sidewall passivation of fluorocarbon polymer. [2] Due to such etch reaction mechanism, the residues of fluorine and fluorocarbon exist on etched surface, it is possible that these residual will have a negative impact to the cavity atmosphere after sealed. In this paper, as a part of the data acquisition to consider about the management standard of the sealed cavity atmosphere, we started comparison between Bosch and Non-Bosch to investigate whether influence of Si etching method influence to sealed cavity atmosphere or not. In this work, each sample of Bosch and Non-Bosch sample was prepared using by NLD plasma etcher, then, TDS (Thermal Desorption Spectroscopy) analyses were carried out to detect desorption species from etched surface of sample. TDS analyses were conducted each process step; after Si etched, after O2 plasma ashing, and after wet cleaning for fluorocarbon polymer.","PeriodicalId":136525,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 18th Electronics Packaging Technology Conference (EPTC)","volume":"130 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":"125439614","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}
