However, subtractive method is cost effective and most widely used on copper line formation, and then an emergent need of a significant change at substrate level is developed to improve both production yield and capability. As a result, embedded trace substrate (ETS) structure can replace the semi-additive method due to increase the adhesion between copper trace and prepreg (PP) material, especially for next generation requirement on further fine design of line / space (L/S). Thermal induced stress utilized to design warpage of ETS package in manufacturing process, especially for unsymmetrical structure, are becoming increasingly important due to every more stringent electronic product requirements. Although the effect of time-dependent properties can be further aggravated in glass transition temperature (Tg) neighborhood especially for epoxy molding compound (EMC), sometimes it can be neglected due to many process temperatures of component assembly is not time-dependent process and difference in a few seconds in general. In recent years, the temperature-dependent properties based on strain-, strain-stress, and stress-conservation laws has become a vital and effective methodologies for electronic package design to offer sufficient insight and understand about the warpage behavior during reflow process. Furthermore, the FEA (Finite Element Analysis) is capable of mathematically simulation irregular, complex geometry, thus an accurate and rapid methodology are thirsted for engineers in manufacturing factory due to less time-consuming and manpower-loading. In this paper, a non-incremental solution based on stress conservation law has been developed, and then processing model can been derived continuously in non-incremental formula. Different to past methodologies which non-incremental and incremental solutions are only responsible to strain and strain-stress conservation laws, respectively. In FEA for the former, element birth and death utilized in processing model can be treated as non-increment solution by assigning different reference temperatures (Tref) associated to different materials, where mean of CTE (CTEmean) can be obtained by average dimension change integrated from Tref to uniform temperature (Tuni). For the later, incremental solution utilized to perform temperature-dependent properties associated to package composite in each temperature span, and then to superpose nodal displacement of each temperature span as global and local analysis. Compare to incremental solution, although non-incremental solution based on strain conservation is not popular but also save time calculated by professional computer, especially for high density or fine increment of data described in temperature-dependent properti","PeriodicalId":136525,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 18th Electronics Packaging Technology Conference (EPTC)","volume":"398 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":"123801734","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}

Achieving Cu-Cu bonding with such a fine pitch is challenging since bond time is too long and bond interface gets easily oxidized. Throughput issue associated with long-bonding time is solved by using 2-step bonding procedure where first step is a temporary bonding and second step is a permanent bonding using a gang bonder. Gaseous formic acid is used to remove surface oxide on Cu surface and wafer level pre applied underfill is used as a tacking material in temporary bonding. Bonding is carried out with dies having 500,000 interconnects and the results show excellent bonding and electrical properties.","PeriodicalId":136525,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 18th Electronics Packaging Technology Conference (EPTC)","volume":"2012 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":"127382510","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}

Innovative front end technologies enabling transistor downscaling towards 10 nm pave the way for small pitch components with an increased I/O count, thus leading to a packaging technology revolution from simple wire bond assembly over BGA/flip chip applications towards stacked 3D-structures with through silicon vias (TSVs), micro bumps and thin dies. 3D die to wafer (D2W) stacking therefore becomes an essential and cost effective option in order to further optimize the form factor. Moreover, by stacking components onto each other instead of placing them next to each other, performance increases can be obtained due to shorter signal paths and higher possible frequencies. The work described in this paper elaborates flip chip stacking processes in combination with TSV technology for More-than-Moore (MtM) heterogeneous 3D-Wafer-Level-Chip-Scale-Package (WLCSP) integration, targeting applications in harsh environments with high demands on product reliability. The major objective comprises the proof of manufacturability at competitive costs.

We observed the surfaces and cross sections of nickel plating layers on copper-metallized silicon nitride substrates by active metal brazing after the substrates were subjected to thermal cycles of −40 to 250°C. No cracks were observed on the surfaces of the nickel layers on substrates that were subjected to 100 and 200 thermal cycles. However, voids or cavities were observed just under the nickel surfaces on those substrates. We considered that those voids or cavities were formed by thermal stress induced by thermal cycling and that they could be one of the origins of cracks in the nickel layers.","PeriodicalId":136525,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 18th Electronics Packaging Technology Conference (EPTC)","volume":"146 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":"123351849","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}
