A Cu filler was added to the solder paste, with the Cu volume % of metal ranged from 17 to 60 volume % of metal. Formation of semicontinuous high-melting Cu chain network was achieved, with Cu particles bridged by the CuSn IMC. This chain network, at sufficient concentration, serves as a skeleton and maintains the shape of the sandwiched solder paste layer, thus preventing further spread out at subsequent SMT reflow process, and also allowing formation of the TIM joint, even in the absence of solderable metallization on flip-chip and packaging housing. This chain network hampered the flow of liquid solder, and thus restrained the expansion of outgassing, and consequently resulted in low voiding. Existence of crevices was attributed to excessive oxide brought in by Cu particles and appeared to increase with increasing Cu filler content. The presence of ductile solder within the TIM joint promises high resistance against brittle cracking under stress. The Cu content could be further optimized between 17 and 60 volume % of metal to (1) avoid flux bleeding, (2) maintain good epoxy adhesion between TIM phase and parts, and (3) to retain ductile solder phase. The 20°C thermal conductivity achieved was 6.1 W/mK and could be up to about 13 W/mK with further epoxy flux optimization.","PeriodicalId":136777,"journal":{"name":"2020 21st International Conference on Electronic Packaging Technology (ICEPT)","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116789352","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 volume fraction of interfacial phase increases with the decrease of the size of SiO2. The control of the chemical groups on the silica surface has an important influence on the overall properties of underfill, for instance, processing fluidity, rheological behavior, thermomechanical properties, coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), storage modulus, loss modulus, curing time, curing temperature, adhesive strength, etc. Here, we control the groups on the surface of SiO2 by changing the reaction conditions of two kinds of silane coupling agents. One of the modification methods is to use an acid as a catalyst in an aqueous alcohol solution to hydrolyze and graft the silane coupling agent onto the surface of silica. Another method is to directly modify the silica by using a silane coupling agent as a solution. Compared with in the presence of water, the silane coupling agent-modified silica reduces the hydroxyl groups on the silica surface more obviously under anhydrous conditions, which is better for the viscosity reduction and viscosity stability increase of underfill.","PeriodicalId":136777,"journal":{"name":"2020 21st International Conference on Electronic Packaging Technology (ICEPT)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117153935","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}

At this time, the laser jet solder ball bonding process has more and more applications in the engineering field due to its high energy density and local heating. Because the temperature field of the entire laser jet solder ball bonding is a highly transient process, which is different from the traditional soldering temperature field, and the temperature of the soldering is very important to the quality of the solder joint. Therefore, it is important to see that the temperature change of the solder balls when it is heated in the nozzle to ensure the formation of a good solder joint. To solve this problem, the finite element simulation and the experimental method are used to study the heating temperature field of the solder ball in the nozzle. In the simulation, the transient thermal method was used to analyze the transient temperature distribution of the solder ball in the nozzle. In this experiment, the temperature change of the solder ball in the nozzle was recorded by an infrared thermometer. The simulation results show that when the solder ball is heated by the laser in the nozzle, the effective power of the laser has a significant impact on the temperature field of the solder ball, and the nozzle has an important impact on the melting of the solder ball. The experimental results show that the temperature change of the heated solder ball in the nozzle is similar to the simulation results, which verify the validity of the model and the reliability of the simulation results. It is of significance to guide the temperature field control in the actual soldering process.","PeriodicalId":136777,"journal":{"name":"2020 21st International Conference on Electronic Packaging Technology (ICEPT)","volume":"276 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123030368","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}

In this paper, we mixed PEDOT:PSS solution with graphene oxide (GO) solution, and spin-coated the hybrid on the surface of AgNW film to prepare PEDOT:PSS-GO/AgNW composite film. The transparent conductive composite film exhibits good adhesion on substrate, lower surface roughness, better thermal stability and mechanical flexibility than both AgNW film and PEDOT:PSS/AgNW film. In addition, the PEDOT:PSS-GO layer showed obviously improved water resistance compared to PEDOT:PSS. After being immersed in water for 1 h, the PEDOT:PSS-GO/AgNW film still exhibited good adhesion on substrate, while the PEDOT:PSS/AgNW film showed weak resistant to tape test due to the dissolution of PEDOT:PSS.
