Through this technique, uniform deposition of metal on the side walls of the vias is possible. High frequency acoustic streaming at megasonic frequencies enables the decrease of the Nernst diffusion layer down to the sub-micron range, allowing thereby conformal electrodeposition in deep grooves. This effect enables the normally convection free liquid near the surface to be agitated. Higher throughput and better control of the material properties of the deposits can be achieved for the manufacturing of embedded interconnections and metal-based MEMS. For optimal filling performance of the microvias, a full design of experiments (DOE) and a multi-physics numerical simulation have been conducted to analyse the influence of megasonic agitation on the plating quality of the microvias. Megasonic based deposition has been found to increase the deposition rate as well as improving the quality of the metal deposits.","PeriodicalId":146584,"journal":{"name":"2008 2nd Electronics System-Integration Technology Conference","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125346916","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 micro-electronics is used to provide the sensing function and also to control the microfluid flows. In many applications, the system needs to be highly dependable so as to eliminate false positives or false negatives.

Computational mechanics is used first to model and simulate the performance of the conceptual design of the micro-probe. Piezoelectric analysis is conducted to understand performance of three different materials - silicon, glassy carbon, and nickel - and the effect of load parameters (amplitude, frequency, phase angle) on the magnitude of vibrations. Simulations are also used to compare several design options for layout of the lead zirconium titanate (PZT) sensors and to identify the most feasible from fabrication point of view design. The material options for the realisation of the device have been also tested. Direct laser machining was selected as the primary means of production. It is found that a Yb MOPA based fiber laser was capable of providing the necessary precision on glassy carbon (GC), although machining trials on Si and Ni were less successful due to residual thermal effects.To provide the active and sensing elements on the flexures of the probe, PZT thick films are developed and deposited at low temperatures (Lt720 degC) allowing a high quality functional ceramic to be directly integrated with selected materials. Characterisation of the materials has shown that the film has a homogenous and small pore microstructure.","PeriodicalId":146584,"journal":{"name":"2008 2nd Electronics System-Integration Technology Conference","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125096229","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 method, a thermally cured polymer seal using localised laser heating is used to produce a microcavity between a capping substrate and a MEMS chip or wafer. The cavity is necessary to protect the fragile micromechanical structures of the MEMS devices in the subsequent manufacturing processes after wafer fabrication and to provide a stable environment for operation. The laser based bonding method is a fast process and can reduce/eliminate the potential damage to temperature sensitive devices during packaging. However, due to the localised nature of the temperature rise it is difficult to monitor the temperature change precisely during the bonding process using conventional methods. In this paper we present the development of thin film miniature temperature sensors for in-situ processing monitoring in the laser assisted polymer bonding process for MEMS packaging. Distributed temperature sensors are fabricated on the substrate and are successfully used to monitor the in-situ temperature rise and distribution in the bonding process.","PeriodicalId":146584,"journal":{"name":"2008 2nd Electronics System-Integration Technology Conference","volume":"150 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123432339","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 fact, such a stopper is another V-groove which is perpendicular to the V-grooves for passive fiber alignment. During the fabrication of prototypes, one critical issue was identified. Due to the undercutting of wet etching, the right angles at the intersection of the stopper and alignment V-grooves were severely eroded by the etching solution. Consequently the intended ldquocrossrdquo intersection became a diamond shaped area. As a result, the length of epoxy flow could not be precisely controlled. During the course of the present study, a convex corner compensation scheme was implemented to resolve the undercutting problem. A parametric study was performed with various kinds of redundant silicon beam patterns at the corners of the intersection. Experimental results showed that relatively sharp corners could be achieved with certain compensation patterns. Furthermore, the epoxy flow did indeed stop when the flow hit the intersection of the stopper and the V-grooves. The design and processing parameters for the epoxy flow stopper and the convex corner compensation scheme will be discussed in detail in this paper.","PeriodicalId":146584,"journal":{"name":"2008 2nd Electronics System-Integration Technology Conference","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123623549","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}

Thermal cycle reliability analysis on solder joints with 3D finite element simulation is firstly carried out. The stress/creep strain distribution and evolution are analyzed and the fatigue lives of solder joints are estimated. Finite element model is also verified and the fatigue property of currently used solder is determined with JEDEC thermal cycle reliability test. Structure design optimization is thereafter performed to improve the reliability of WLCSP. Parametric studies on the geometry structures are carried out, such as die thickness, solder post height and solder bump diameter, etc. The results show that solder post does great help to improve the solder bumpspsila reliability, the height of which plays an important role in controlling the fatigue life of the package. Higher post helps to release the stress concentration and therefore extend the fatigue life of solder bumps. In addition, die thickness plays the most important role in affecting fatigue life of solder joints. The thinner the die, the better the reliability of WLCSP is.

They are used in various ways in substrate materials, adhesives, encapsulations, underfills and many more. This paper outlines the importance of thermo-mechanical characterization of these polymeric packaging materials to improve the accuracy of Finite Element Modeling for advanced reliability analysis of electronics packaging solutions. Therefore the effects of including temperature-and time dependent mechanical material properties of a PPS molding compound were investigated. This molding compound should be used as a coupling element to decrease the occurring stresses in an array of solder connections between substrate and package. The setup was analyzed by FEM (Finite Element Modeling). For the material characterization a DMA 2980 equipment was utilized to determine the time- and temperature dependent elongation modulus of the molding compound material. A description of the measurement setup and parameter selection is given. Subsequently the measurement results are presented. To use this measurement results in a material model for time dependent elongation modulus the results needed to be fitted to a Prony series model which allows implementing this complex material behavior in the FEM simulation software Ansysreg. Additional the WLF (Williams-Landel-Ferry) shift function was determined and implemented to add the temperature effect to the viscoelastic material data used for simulation. For the stress analysis the package setup was implemented as geometric model of the real structure and the loading conditions were defined. The simulations showed that there are significant differences in the occurring stress levels in the setup. For higher temperatures the stress levels were decreased due to stress relaxation in the polymer.","PeriodicalId":146584,"journal":{"name":"2008 2nd Electronics System-Integration Technology Conference","volume":"167 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121708724","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}
