At PCB manufacturing level, 50 mum thin chips have been embedded with pitches up to 200 mum in up to 18ldquotimes24rdquo panels. Embedding of chips at 100 mum pitch has been achieved at prototype level. Further developments of chip embedding can extend to even finer pitches without redistribution methods only with concurrent developments in ultra fine line patterning, plating methods and chemistries, assembly machines. New manufacturing processes should combine PCB processing and die assembly in one production line in order to benefit the most from this combination without the difficulties of transport between different manufacturing plants. Furthermore, new testing methodologies will be developed and a new supply chain will be created due to incorporation of embedding technologies to PCB production.

To solve that problem, the novel fast data acquisition system was developed. It uses fast FPGA modules, a microcontroller for fast-response feedback and FPGA control as well as transmission of the data to PC over Ethernet protocol. Single test lasts for many days and produces large amount of data. It is necessary to acquire, store and visualize data in efficient way. There is no commercial product, which can handle multiple channel data acquisition and visualization over Ethernet protocol in real-time and provide very short response times. To improve quality of detection algorithms, there is a possibility to set-up custom triggers directly from visualization module. Software is written using only standard Win32 API, and is fully and compatible with all Windowsreg based PC (it is independent from specific OS version). Using this solution together with our propriety classes, it was possible to achieve very high efficiency and flexibility.The main advantage of using an Ethernet protocol in control system is a possibility of flexible, fast and reliable data transfer between multiple devices (measuring unit, control unit, storage unit) on existing network infrastructure (IEEE 802.1).","PeriodicalId":146584,"journal":{"name":"2008 2nd Electronics System-Integration Technology Conference","volume":"21 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":"128145671","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}

Therefore, there is a higher reliability risk that too large a fraction of solder joints will transform into Intermetallic Compounds (IMCs) at the solder interface. In this paper, fracture mechanics study of the IMC layer for SnPb and Pb-free solder joints was carried out using finite element numerical computer modelling method. It is assumed that only one crack is present in the IMC layer. Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM) approach is used for parametric study of the Stress Intensity Factors (SIF, KI and KII), at the predefined crack in the IMC layer of solder butt joint tensile sample. Contrary to intuition, it is revealed that a thicker IMC layer in fact increases the reliability of solder joint for a cracked IMC. Value of KI and KII are found to decrease with the location of the crack further away from the solder interfaces while other parameters are constant. Solder thickness and strain rate were also found to have a significant influence on the SIF values. It has been found that soft solder matrix generates non-uniform plastic deformation across the solder-IMC interface near the crack tip that is responsible to obtain higher KI and KII.","PeriodicalId":146584,"journal":{"name":"2008 2nd Electronics System-Integration Technology Conference","volume":"603 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":"134379382","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}

Firstly, the electric features of the OLED devices with and without a copper phtalocyanine layer were measured, and the one with the additional buffer layer showed a lower turn-on voltage. Then the OLED device sample was encapsulated with a glass cover bonded to the substrate with an adhesive matrix containing micro-particles. The samples were stored in ambient conditions, and the IV characteristics were studied with shelf-time as a parameter. The measurement results indicated that the encapsulation had a significant improvement on the device operation. After two weeks of storage the encapsulated samples showed less degradation and the current density at a given operating bias was about fifty percent higher than without encapsulation.","PeriodicalId":146584,"journal":{"name":"2008 2nd Electronics System-Integration Technology Conference","volume":"3 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":"133043622","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 such systems, the connection pitch size may be below 50 mum, such that the packing density (i.e. I/Os) may exceed 40,000/cm2. Electroplating is a promising approach to enable low-cost, high yield and ultra-fine pitch bumping. This paper reports an ultra-fine pitch electroplating bumping process which can be enhanced by incorporating megasonic agitation. Acoustic agitation at above 1 MHz frequencies is able to significantly reduce the diffusion boundary layer of electroplating to a thickness less than 1 mum, as compared to tens of microns under conventional plating conditions. The initial experimental results presented here demonstrate an enhanced polycrystalline growth other than dendrite deposition under a very high current density through megasonic agitation deposition, thereby allowing a significant acceleration of the electrodeposition process. For the electroplating wafer bumping process, megasonic agitation can also accelerate the bump growth rate under the same current density, due to the increase of cathodic current efficiency. Also, megasonic agitation appears not to damage the photoresist pattern, which is often the case when ultrasonic agitation is used.","PeriodicalId":146584,"journal":{"name":"2008 2nd Electronics System-Integration Technology Conference","volume":"49 8","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133071890","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}

This dual band FEM includes a duplexer and 2,5 GHz power amplifier die. To achieve small module for mobile applications, FEM should have a tiny PKG form factor. In addition to module size limitation, FEM requires higher gain and stringent attenuation specification for reducing RF interference from a frequency overlap. To implement low cost and highly compact FEM, an effective solution is to embed passive components inside PCB. The embedded duplexer was designed on 8 layer organic substrates for finding out efficient structure and verifying FEM specifications. This components design implemented by using ADS and HFSS. The dual-band FEM with embedded passive components incorporates duplexer including 2GHz, 5GHz BPFs. Integrated dual-band BPFs show an insertion loss of <-2.0dB in path band and 20dB attenuation performance in rejection band. Since conventional PCB process has higher tolerance than semiconductor process, it is important to control process tolerance. The measured results of BPFs and duplexer show good electrical performance with low insertion loss, high attenuation. Embedded passive Packaging technology has many advantages such as improving packaging efficiency and better electrical performances for low cost and highly compact RF SOP (System on Package) applications.","PeriodicalId":146584,"journal":{"name":"2008 2nd Electronics System-Integration Technology Conference","volume":"19 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":"131761625","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}
