This seminar discusses our recently developed CVD growth of well-aligned CNT films/arrays, their characterizations and applications related to microelectronics packaging. However, the high CNT growth temperature (>600 degC) and poor substrate adhesion impede the CNT implementation in microelectronics. To circumvent these obstacles for a successful CNT application, we propose using a CNT transfer technology process. The process is featured with a separation of the CNT growth and CNT to device assembly, which is enabled by an in-situ formed open-ended CNT structures that we have recently developed. This technique is similar to a flip-chip process and is compatible with current microelectronic device fabrication sequences and surface mount component assembly technology. Field emission testing of the as-assembled CNT devices indicates good field emission characteristics, with a field enhancement factor of 4540.

Mohamed, C. Chan, M. Dirkzwager","doi":"10.1109/ISAPM.2006.1665988","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ISAPM.2006.1665988","url":null,"abstract":"Summary form only given. The conventional wire bonding has employed gold and aluminum wires as interconnection material for decades. With the requirements for high speed, high power and fine pitch applications, copper is emerging as the alternative bonding wires to replace gold and aluminum. In principle, copper has relatively good electrical mechanical and thermal properties. However, copper is known as a fast diffuser in silicon. The copper-to-silicon diffusion may cause the breakdown of IC devices. On the other hand, the bonding of copper wire on the aluminum pad will form intermetallic compound (IMC). The formation of Cu-Al IMC at the bonding interface may increase the electrical resistance and reduce the mechanical bonding strength. Therefore, in order to understand the long term reliability impact of copper wire bonding, it is necessary to investigate the aforementioned two issues. In a previous study, a preliminary investigation has been conducted to characterize the basic phenomena of copper-to-silicon diffusion and the formation of Cu-Al IMC. In this study, efforts will be made to investigate the effects of additional barrier layer on the diffusion and IMC growth phenomena in copper wire bonding. The barrier layer is a thin film of TiW between the aluminum bond pad and the silicon substrate. The purpose is to prevent the wire bond material from diffusing into the silicon. In the present investigation, two sets of specimens are fabricated for parallel study. One set is actual diode devices with wire bonding on aluminum pads. Another set is ideal lab specimens with thin film deposition on silicon substrates. The specimens have a layered structure of Cu/Al/TiW/Si. For benchmarking purpose, specimens with Cu/Al/Si, Au/Al/TiW/Si and Au/Al/Si are also prepared. These specimens are vacuum-sealed in glass tubes to prevent oxidation. A series of test program is arranged to anneal the samples at 175 deg C and 300 deg C. At various timing (from 1.5 hours to 400 hours) some specimens are taken out of the oven for the inspection of diffusion depth profiling and IMC formation by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM)/energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) on cross-section, respectively. The experimental results indicate that the TiW barrier layer can effectively prevent metal diffusion into the silicon. However, the side effect is that there will be more IMC growth at the Cu/Al and Au/Al interfaces. Besides, Cu-Al IMC is found to grow much slower than Au-Al IMC. The comparison between the ideal lab specimens and the actual diode chips shows similar trends in general. However, it seems that the Cu-to-Si diffusion in the diode chips is more severe than that in the ideal lab specimens. This phenomenon may be caused by certain processing conditions such as the wire bond pressure that may lead to excessive deformation of the aluminum pad. Detailed comparison and discussion of experimental results will be given in this paper","PeriodicalId":151960,"journal":{"name":"2006 11th International Symposium on Advanced Packaging Materials: Processes, Properties and Interface","volume":"127 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120871511","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}

However, there are not many heat transfer applications where these CNTs are used. The two main reasons behind this are that, it is hard to grow the CNTs up to a macroscopic height and it is difficult to achieve good thermal contact between the CNTs and the surface of the heat source. We have overcome both these problems and obtained CNT bundles as tall as 2.5 mm and with different cross sectional areas that can be arranged in an array on a metallic substrate. Thus, these CNT bundles can act as fins having very high thermal conductivity to remove much higher heat flux compared to fins of similar dimension and configuration made of the customary materials such as copper or aluminum. Our calculation shows that in forced air convection cooling, a performance enhancement of 2 to 3 times can be achieved using just 2 mm tall CNT bundle fins, compared to a commercially available aluminum or copper heat sink that can remove a heat flux of 20-30 W/cm2. That way we can achieve a better heat removal performance as well as a reduction in the size of the heatsink, without deviating much from the most convenient and widely used cooling technique","PeriodicalId":151960,"journal":{"name":"2006 11th International Symposium on Advanced Packaging Materials: Processes, Properties and Interface","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124093937","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}

One source of thermal resistance requiring more characterization is thermal interface materials, TIMs. Thermal interface materials, such as greases, elastomeric pads, thermal tapes, phase change materials, gels, thermally conductive adhesives and solder, are used in a variety of electronic and microelectronic engineering applications. Currently in industry, TIM testers are modeled after ASTM D 5470, \"standard test method for steady-state thermal transmission properties of thermally conductive solid electrical insulation material\". ASTM D 5470 uses two metal blocks, one heated and one cooled, between which a TIM is placed. Temperature sensors are placed within the metal blocks. Since the temperature distribution is linear, the temperature of surface of the metal blocks in contact with the specimen can be calculated using the sensor-given temperatures and the distance between the sensors. A thermal model was also developed to ensure the placement of the thermocouples within uniform heat flow; this is especially critical for the thermocouple placed closest to the heater. A CPU cooling unit is used as a cooling mechanism and constant uniform pressure is maintained through the use of a pneumatic cylinder.
