Optimizing process parameters such that defects are limited and long-term reliability of the assembly is increased can be a very tedious task. Parameters that effect the robustness of the process include the flux type and placement parameters. Ultimately, these process parameters can effect the long-term reliability of the flip chip assembly by either inhibiting or inducing process defects. Therefore, care is taken to develop a process that is robust enough to supply high yields and long term reliability, but still remains compatible with a standard surface mount technology process. This is where process optimization becomes most critical and difficult. What is the optimum height of the flux thin film used for a dip process? What force is required to insure that the solder bumps make contact with the pads? What are the limiting boundaries in which high yields and high reliabilities are achieved, while maintaining a streamlined, proven process?\u0000 The following study evaluates a set of process parameters and their impact on process defects and reliability. The study evaluates process parameters including, flux type, flux application parameters, placement force and placement accuracy to determine their impact. Solder voiding, inadequate solder wetting, and crack propagation and delamination in the underfill layer are defects examined in the study. Assemblies will be subjected to liquid-to-liquid thermal shock testing (−55° C to 125°C) to determine failure modes due to the aforementioned defects. The results will show how changes in process parameters effect yield and reliability.","PeriodicalId":153178,"journal":{"name":"Electronics Manufacturing Issues","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117176736","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}

A test vehicle was fabricated using 0.008 inch thick and 12-inch × 12-inch SS panel with laser drilled 0.01-inch vias. A dielectric material (Parylene N) was deposited on the SS panel and around the inside via walls in order to electrically isolate the via filling material from the body of the SS substrate and also making the SS surface non-conductive. Vias were filled using a commercially available conductive via-plug material. The test structure was exposed to elevated temperatures to simulate the thermal excursion the substrate would be subjected to during the MCM-D thin film process. The end objective of this work is to be able to fabricate large area (24 inch × 24 inch) SS substrates for the next generation MCM-D packaging with reduced warpage.

In this paper, phase-shifting shadow moiré technique is discussed and applied to the measurement of wafer surface topology with high resolution. The phase-shifting technique takes advantage of the gray level information to increase the physical resolution of the measurement. A series of fringe patterns are recorded while they are shifted by moving the wafer along the direction perpendicular to wafer surface. The phase is encoded in the variations in the intensity pattern of the recorded fringe images, and a simple point-by-point calculation recovers the phase. The needs to locate the fringe centers and interpolation are eliminated. Since the depth variation of wafer surface is very small, usually within the range of 0.1 to 20 microns, very fine grating is required in order to capture the small depth variation. However, very fine grating will introduce strong diffraction effect which blurs the fringe patterns. In this study, the Talbot distance is applied to obtain images with good contrast. The phase shift is realized by moving the wafer to change the distance between the wafer surface and the reference grating. A four-step phase wrapping algorithm is used to calculate the phase. The phase pattern recovered from four fringes patterns is presented. Future work such as how to reduce the noise, how to do phase unwrapping and calibration is also discussed.","PeriodicalId":153178,"journal":{"name":"Electronics Manufacturing Issues","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129835729","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 present model includes three scales: (i) at the microscale or the mechanism level, the damage mechanisms such as diffusive void growth or fatigue cracks, determine the damage growth rate; (2) at an intermediate mesoscale, the localized damage bands are modeled as variable stiffness springs connecting undamaged materials; and (iii) at the macroscale or the continuum level, the localized damage band growing in an otherwise undamaged material is modeled as an array of dislocations. The three scales are then combined together to incorporate damage mechanisms into continuum analysis. Traditional fracture mechanics provides a crack propagation model based on pre-existing cracks. The present work provides an approach for predicting crack nucleation. The proposed model is then utilized to investigate crack nucleations in three-layered electronic assemblies under thermal cycling. The damage is observed to accumulate rapidly in the weakest regions of the band. Estimates are obtained for critical time or critical number of cycles at which a macroscopic crack will nucleate in these assemblies under thermal cycling. This critical number of cycles is found to be insensitive to the size of the damage cluster, but decreases rapidly as the local excess damage increases.","PeriodicalId":153178,"journal":{"name":"Electronics Manufacturing Issues","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130227962","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}

A result of the increased board layout densities and higher levels of integration at the chip level is a dramatic increase in the value of circuit boards. The benefit is much more functionality in smaller boards, but the disadvantage is significant losses when a defective board must be scrapped. The same technology that has increased the density of the board functionality has made manual rework to correct manufacturing defects almost impossible. Higher levels of circuit integration in moving from VLSI to ULSI (Ultra Large Scale Integration) have required more pin-outs on the packages which in turn has resulted in finer lead pitches and a change from through-hole mounting to surface mounting technology (SMT). These two changes, with the decreased interchip spacing, have necessitated the use of automation to perform reliable component replacement on defective boards. This paper discusses the complexities of integrating several automation technologies into a single robotic electronic remanufacturing workcell. Involved are vision guidance, control software development, and multiple special end-effector designs for the several required steps, including defective component removal, board cleaning, solder paste dispensing, component placement, and laser soldering [1].","PeriodicalId":153178,"journal":{"name":"Electronics Manufacturing Issues","volume":"7 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132579857","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}
