One of the key bottleneck in HDI socket development is the ability of flow and warpage simulation techniques to reduce the design cycle time. The focus of this project is to explore novel simulation techniques to speed up the flow prediction part of simulation and reduce physical experiments needed to improve time to market (TTM) cycle of HDI sockets. The main challenge in HDI socket simulation is: (1) complexity of fibre-filled liquid crystal polymer (LCP) material properties and (2) complex but repetitive pin holes in the core pin region of the HDI socket. This takes up ~90% of the simulation time and slows down the design cycle. In this project, focus was put in to simplify the repetitive pin hole structure. The pin hole arrays are represented by equivalent flow resistant model and produce similar flow patterns in shorter time. In order to achieve this, three (3) LCP materials grades with known properties were provided by project partner Celanese. Test vehicle (TV) of HDI sockets were then build by socket fabrication partners using the LCP material provided. Room temp (RT) warpage of the socket were measured, together with short-shot samples collected for simulation flow and warpage prediction validation. The repetitive pin hole arrays of the HDI sockets are represented by equivalent flow resistant model. The predicted flow patterns from simulation are in good agreement with short-shot samples. The warpage shape and magnitude predictions are also in good agreement for 2 out of 3 material grades. It was later found out that the odd material that has different warpage has a different matrix (resin) LCP property. Solving time improvement ranging between 3.6x and 35x times were demonstrated in the proof of concept. The project outcome allows faster flow and warpage simulation for HDI socket design and development. The utilization of numerical predictions will be greatly increased, reduced material cost used for design prototyping and injection mold chase tape outs. Simulation software partners from the project will develop further on the demo beta versions for eventual product releases.","PeriodicalId":163034,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 24th Electronics Packaging Technology Conference (EPTC)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125293428","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}

Several techniques are being investigated to allow for massive but still precise assembly of small semiconductor chiplets, including contact transfer printing, fluidic assembly, and laser-induced forward-transfer (LIFT) printing.

The descent rate of fatigue life decreased with increasing shear amplitude at the same current density. Moreover, the deterioration of current stressing on the fatigue life of the solder joint was more serious at the lower shear amplitude.

An extensive power cycling study was conducted in order to evaluate the additional stress induced in the bond interface on the chip by the wire bond loop, with the main focus being on the load current in the wire bond. A strong correlation between the power loss density in the bond loop and the tested lifetime was found over a wide range of load currents.

Several factors such as thermal expansion, mold compound shrinkage and mold-flow will affects the die shift [2]. The eWLP package is getting larger and larger to accommodate multi -dies to further increase the functions of the package. Die with different sizes may experience different die shift magnitude as bigger die has stronger adhesion as compare to die with smaller dimension. Stronger adhesion helps to resist the impact of mold flow during the compression molding process. Ultra-large package indicated that the volume of mold compound inside the package is much higher than those packages with smaller dimension. As such, the impact of mold shrinkage and thermal expansion is greater for ultra large eWLP package. In this paper, we will evaluate the die shift for various die sizes for an ultra-large package of 32.05×26.7mm. And hence a method of optimizing the die shift for the various die size in an ultra-large package is developed in this study. The dies will be picked and placed on a taped carrier and then to be molded. After molding, each die position is measured by using Nikon Confocal tool. The die shift is then determined by subtracting the die position with the designated position. Die shift will be compensated based on graphical x-y plot. The outcome of the die shift will be analysed after compensation and fine tune the die shift if necessary. In summary, we had demonstrated the die shift is less than 15um for 3 different die sizes in an ultra-large eWLP package.","PeriodicalId":163034,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 24th Electronics Packaging Technology Conference (EPTC)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124016542","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 coatings were deposited by vapor deposition polymerization (VDP) technique on untreated and polished 8-inch Si and SiO2 wafers, with root mean square (RMS) roughness of 4 and 2 nm, respectively. Scratch tests were performed in displacement and load controlled mode, where scratch depths were varied from 1 to $1,6 mumathrm{m}$. The indentation loads and subsequently depths, were varied to observe different delamination features over the penetration depth at the substrate-coating interface. Additionally, the scratches were observed in-situ with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to better understand the changes in lateral force during the test. The results showed that cohesive failure in AF4 happens before adhesive failure at indentation depths down to $1,4 mumathrm{m}$, At $1,4 mumathrm{m}$ depth we can observe first adhesive failure features on the AF4 coating - SiO2 substrate interface. This shows that the AF4 coating on the SiO2 substrate has a slightly lower adhesion than on the Si substrate. The adhesion failures on both samples start to occur at scratches near the AF4-substrate interface, without chipping on the sides. The results also showed that if the scratch depth is not near the AF4-substrate, only the cohesive failure in AF4 can be seen, which indicates very good adhesion for both samples.","PeriodicalId":163034,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 24th Electronics Packaging Technology Conference (EPTC)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126304742","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}

Hence the improved Trust Region Aggressive Space Mapping (TRASM) algorithm is adopted to map between the coarse and fine models in this paper, where the coarse model is the coupling matrix and the fine model is the model in HFSS. Modal Vector Fitting (MVF) algorithm is used to get the coupling matrix, which enhances the uniqueness of the extraction step. This paper proposes a four-order and four-layer interdigital filter with a pass band of 8–9 GHz and an in-band return loss of 20.34 dB. The TRASM method based on MVF can complete the optimization in about 90 minutes with only two iterations, which is better than that of ASM and full- wave electromagnetic simulation.

Considering the difference in thermal expansion coefficients of each material in the CoWoS structure, the material properties of each structure were fed into the simulation. The results showed that the cyclic thermal loading rate influences the maximum equivalent strain, which is larger at slower thermal loading rates. However, the maximum equivalent stress and the maximum strain energy density are larger at faster thermal loads. In addition, the regions with the maximum equivalent stress and the maximum strain energy density normally are located closed to the most distal part of the micro-bumps. Finally, this paper also presents a lifetime prediction for micro-bumps by Engelmaier model, which could be a reference only. The lifetime prediction indicated that faster thermal loading rates lead to micro-bumps greater stress-strain concentration, which in turn reduce lifetime.","PeriodicalId":163034,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 24th Electronics Packaging Technology Conference (EPTC)","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121634242","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}
