The reliability of electronic devices is directly related to the internal defects existing in the materials. Under high temperature and high electric field, the space charges in the polymer will accumulate at the interface around the defect. When the density of charge carriers approaches a critical value, the electric components will be brokendown. Herein, we try to prevent the formation of defects like pores and pits in epoxy based composite films and the relevant mechanism is investigated. The surface morphology of the films is modified by adding a defoamer and a leveling agent. The defoamer agent can assist the breakage and elimination of bubbles. The leveling agent can improve the flowability of the half-dry film and then fill the pits formed after the breakage of bubbles. The effect of defects on the Weibull distribution of electric breakdown strength of the epoxy composite films has been analyzed. It proves that high electric breakdown strength can be achieved on the film with improved surface morphology. This study gives a guide for designing high quality epoxy films with improved electrical performance.","PeriodicalId":136777,"journal":{"name":"2020 21st International Conference on Electronic Packaging Technology (ICEPT)","volume":"100 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":"128592736","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 the efficiency of rapid prototyping, it is quite important that the product design, especially that of the main circuit board, is pre-examined in respect of its effect on the stress distribution In this study, finite element analysis is applied to investigate the effect of design factors of a mobile phone on the drop reliability of the on-board chip scale packages. Simulation results show that, screw pitch and area of shielding cover significantly affect the bending of PCB (printed circuit board), as smaller screw pitch and larger shielding cover resulted in the reduction of maximum principal stress in the silicon chip as well as in the critical solder joint by 20% to 30%. By using underfill, stress distribution in the solder became more uniform, and maximum principal stress in both chip and solder lowered than that without underfill. In addition, insufficient gap between the chip and front case might lead to collision, thereby causing the peak stress in the packages to increase significantly by about 30 MPa compared to the non-collision case. The research methods and results in this study are expected to provide guidance for the structural optimization in new mobile phone product design, as well as design-phase early screening of failure in the board-level assembly.","PeriodicalId":136777,"journal":{"name":"2020 21st International Conference on Electronic Packaging Technology (ICEPT)","volume":"51 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":"124766382","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}

It enables the conformal circuit a promising alternative to the traditional printed circuit boards and independent electric wires in the fields of communication devices, automotive electronics, and medical equipment. Conformal circuits can be fabricated by several techniques such as 3D printing and 3D molding interconnect device (3D-MID) fabrication technique. However, the point-by-point reconstruction of the curved surfaces and the complex configuration of the equipment significantly reduce the efficiency and the cost effectiveness. The small thicknesses and sizes of the conductive layers fabricated by these techniques limit the application of the conformal circuits in the high current circuits. In this paper, a thick-film conformal circuit forming method based on the surface partitioning and the flexible frame screen printing is presented. The partitioning process divides the complex surface into finite number of subareas with generatrices of simple shapes and guide lines with single extension directions, limiting the mean curvature variations and the lengths of guide lines. In each subarea, flexible frames can be fixed along its guide lines and the screen can then be tensioned along its generatrix uniformly, ensuring the forming of circuits on the curved surfaces which cannot be achieved by the traditional screen printing with a rigid frame. The conformal circuits were fabricated on the external surface of an actual workpiece. The Gaussian curvature of the surface varied from - 2.2×10-3 to 1.1×10-3 mm-2. The maximum variation of the mean curvature among all subareas after the partitioning was 0~6×10-3 mm-1, two orders of magnitude lower than that of the entire surface. The uniformity and the deviation of the linewidths were around ±41 μm and ±43 μm, comparable to the printed circuits on the planar surfaces. The resistivity of the printed circuits was 7.1±0.2 μΩ•cm, 29% higher than the nominal resistivity of the silver paste used as the conductive materials in this work. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the method presented in this paper and the potential to efficiently prepare complicated conformal circuits with a high aspect ratio on curved surfaces.","PeriodicalId":136777,"journal":{"name":"2020 21st International Conference on Electronic Packaging Technology (ICEPT)","volume":"21 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":"129069301","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}

Solder paste welding is the most widely used type of electrical connection of chip on PCB. In this paper, a method of using conductive adhesive film and connector to realize the mechanical pressure type electrical connection of the chip is proposed, so as to try to solve the problem of overheating and damage in the solder paste welding of the thermal sensitive chip. The thickness of conductive adhesive film is 0.1 millimeter, when it is under vertical pressure, it will be conductive. In this research, the conductive adhesive film and the chip are mechanically fixed on the circuit board by the connector, the conductive adhesive film is placed between the chip and the PCB. The circuit adopts digital power amplifier. The chip in the circuit is YDA138-E in SSOP package, and the connector material is high temperature resistant nylon. Because the clamping force of the connector directly acts on the top of the chip, the stress on the electrical connection position of the conductive adhesive film completely depends on the interference area between the connector and the PCB assembly. And the stress increases with the increase of interference area. With ANSYS simulation software, an interconnection model including circuit board, connector and other devices is established. The static analysis of the circuit model is carried out by finite element method. The range of the interference area is obtained, and to eliminate the interference area under the condition of significantly uneven stress distribution. Because the thickness of conductive adhesive film is very thin, its deformation and stress can be ignored, so only the thickness of the film is used as the compensation of interference area. Take several interference values inside and outside the interval, and assemble connectors according to different value results. In the case of the same input signal, use oscilloscope to detect and collect output electric signals of several circuit boards as sample signals, and take the output electric signal of the circuit under the solder paste electrical connection type as the reference signal. With MATLAB data analysis software, the degree of relevance between the sample signal and the reference signal collected by the oscilloscope is analyzed quantitatively. Finally, it is concluded that the reference signal and sample signal have high similarity in frequency domain. There is a delay in the time domain between the sample signal and the reference signal. The chip can work normally under the electric connection of the conductive adhesive film. and can be used as a reference method to solve the problem of chip overheating damage.","PeriodicalId":136777,"journal":{"name":"2020 21st International Conference on Electronic Packaging Technology (ICEPT)","volume":"19 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113958737","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}
