Ltd. (LPS) and Local company. This device is integrated into the traditional strip to strip belt plating system for preventing thinner or flimsy leadframe from damaging and jamming, especially in the air knife station. The traditional air knife is using compressed air to directly blow & dry/clean the strips before moving to next process, but it will cause air turbulent due to unbalance of air blow from both-sides, which results in leadframe swing in the process cell, or jamming and damage, especially for the thinner and wider leadframe. The new designed aerodynamic Leadfram Stabling Device is based on aerodynamic theory and air amplifier concept to establish a high speed stable air stream field passing through the strip surface to stabilize the leadframe within a small range of the balanced centering position of process cells and get more effective to dry and clean strips with the strong air-blow. It ensures the leadframe to be self-centered & transferred through process cells smoothly without any mechanical contact. This design not only dries the strip from water and chemical solution, but also prevents strips deformation, jamming and drops from hitting mechanical parts. It's helpful to reduce the consumption of plating process chemical, DI water & compressed air supply and save water treatment cost. The result shows this new designed non-contact leadframe Stabling Device is applicable in plating process and proven to be most effective with more than 70 mm width and less than 0.11 mm thickness high-density leadframe. The innovation of Non-contact leadframe stabling & drying air knife got National Patent of China, Patent No# ZL2007 2 008 232.8.","PeriodicalId":151085,"journal":{"name":"2008 33rd IEEE/CPMT International Electronics Manufacturing Technology Conference (IEMT)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129936445","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}

Artificial neural network (ANN) is an alternative tool to predict thermal and SJR performance of electronic packages if the historical data for training is available. The trained ANN is user friendly, fast and accurate tool to predict the thermal and SJR performance of electronic packages during the design stage. This paper will discuss about FEM procedure which is used to produce training data for ANN.

In this experiment sample X7 was selected based on the validation performed. The mold compound fluidity properties and critical molding parameters' window were analyzed by measuring Visual mechanical rejects, weight gain (%) and SAT on nickel plated lead tip as output response. In the experiment conducted, transfer time and spiral flow were identified as significant factors affecting weight gain and delamination on nickel plated post. In order to ensure all related stress to die is below the limit of 30ksi, Finite Element Modeling and simulation were performed to study die thermal stresses when it is loaded with temperature excursion during package assembly steps assuming the packaging raw materials has not been pre-stressed by its manufacturing process such as when the leadframe undergo stamping, die saw and etc. The analysis recommends the use of mold compound X7 for its superior performance at reflow condition. Before the mold compound could be released into production mode, mold runners were redesigned by modifying the draft angle at `weak point' and ejector pin were slotted-in on cull surface to allow uniformed ejection force.

On time delivery leads to major usage of SMED or Quick Changeover. Single Minute Exchange of Die (SMED) is one of the many lean production methods for reducing waste in a manufacturing process. It provides a rapid and efficient way of converting a manufacturing process from running the current product to running the next product. It is also often referred to as Quick Changeover (QCO). Performing faster change-over is important in manufacturing, or any process, because they make low cost flexible operations possible. SMED and quick changeover programs have many benefits for manufacturers. Single minute does not mean that all changeovers and startups should take only one minute, but that they should take less than 10 minutes (\"single digit minute\"). In Intel Penang Factory operations, PLCC Tape and Reel machine is one of the bottleneck on the packing operations for Network Communication products. SMED concept was applied on the PLCC Tape and Reel machines by using semi-automated system which operates with 12 simple to-operate-knobs.

Due to design and layout complexity, it is normally required to be housed in a substrate based packaging. The connection of silicon die to package can be in the form of wire-bond, flipchip, epoxy die attach,or solder die attach. In cases where solder die attach is used, the challenge would lie in the ability to produce the least die attach void. The presence of solder void underneath the die is not desirable as it has thermal and in some cases electrical impact in the performance of the device. Solder voids, depending on its magnitude can also reduce the reliability and functionality of the device. There are many methods of applying solder namely using solder preform . dispensing solder paste or screen printing solder paste. Screen printing is the most desirable process due to its uph and ability in controlling the solder volume. This paper discusses in detail some of the factors that affect the solder voids percentage and look into ways to improve the amount of solder void underneath a die by 50%.","PeriodicalId":151085,"journal":{"name":"2008 33rd IEEE/CPMT International Electronics Manufacturing Technology Conference (IEMT)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132490591","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 recent years the flexibility of the tool has been exploited for a wide range of materials and processes to aid semiconductor packaging and assembly. One such application has been the deposition of adhesive coatings onto the backside of silicon wafers. This paper looks at the application of two totally different epoxy materials to the non active side of silicon wafers one providing a B-stageble die attach layer and one providing a protective laser-markable cover layer aimed at protecting individual die from damage during dicing. Printing trials, with the two commercially standard, non-conductive epoxy based materials were conducted. For each material, 24 200mm wafers were printed. Both screen and stencil printing processes were compared for each material. Effects of printing process parameters were also considered. Coating thickness planarity across a wafer is the key metric for a successful coating process. For each wafer processed a minimum of 16 thickness measurements were made. Results showing thickness control capability are presented. The study demonstrates that coating co-planarity accomplishing ±12.5μm @ 6 sigma control with cured thickness's down to 30μm is possible.","PeriodicalId":151085,"journal":{"name":"2008 33rd IEEE/CPMT International Electronics Manufacturing Technology Conference (IEMT)","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122612758","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}
