Universal die attach refers to a single die attach material that has excellent adhesion properties to Cu, Ag and Ni-Pd-Au substrates. Universal adhesion is a key element in achieving \"universal die attach\", which means that one single die attach can be applied onto different substrates (Cu, Ag and Ni-Pd-Au), all of which are commonly used in metal leadframe packages in semiconductor industry. The most difficult part of achieving universal adhesion is to achieve a good adhesion on Ag and Ni-Pd-Au by conventional adhesion promoters. In this study, a series of episulfide materials were synthesized, where episulfide moieties can be utilized as a latent thiol generator and can be cured in a similar way as epoxides. The adhesion properties of these materials were investigated through formulation testing, dynamic curing studies, surface analysis and fundamental characterization. We found episulfide indeed functioned as an adhesion promoter and improved cohesiveness of die attach adhesive on Ag and Ni-Pd-Au leadframes. The interactions between episulfide and the host resin system, and the stronger interfacial adhesion to metal leadframe by episulfide have contributed to these improvements.","PeriodicalId":181674,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

This paper describes a novel interferometric surface profiling technique for high magnification measurement of devices through transparent packaging or environmental chambers. Three techniques are introduced into a long working distance interferometric objective: aberration correction, shaped illumination, and dispersive compensation. Data demonstrates that measurement results through the protective media are comparable to those of a standard objective measuring an unpackaged device.","PeriodicalId":181674,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Because of environmental concerns, lead-based solders are being replaced by Sn/Ag and Sn/Ag/Cu based solder materials. Since the thermomechanical reliability of modern electronic devices depends on, to a large extent, the fatigue and creep behavior of the solder joints, it is imperative to understand the deformation behavior of these new lead-free solders. This study conducted extensive thermomechanical testing on several commercial lead-free solder alloys. Anand viscoplastic model was used to describe the behavior of these materials with new curve fitting techniques. A modified Anand models was proposed that can yield a more accurate description of lead-free solders.","PeriodicalId":181674,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

In this study, immersion Sn surface treatment was employed after CMP and before SiN deposition. All the samples, with a line-width of 0.28 /spl mu/m, were assessed by package level electromigration tests at 300/spl deg/C under a current density of 3.6 /spl times/ 10/sup 6/ A/cm/sup 2/. We found that Sn surface treatment effectively introduces the Cu-Sn bonding to the Cu/dielectric interface and has influenced electromigration along the Cu/dielectric interfaces. Failure analysis shows that the samples with immersion Sn process have a median-time-to-failure almost 1 order of magnitude larger than the standard dual damascene samples. A careful characterization utilizing FIB and SEM cross-sectional images shows that the failure mechanism has changed due to immersion Sn surface treatment. After electromigration-induced void nucleation, its movement is blocked by the strong Cu-Sn bonding so that its growth is localized and occurs along grain boundaries. With the increased impedance to surface diffusion, failure analysis seems to indicate that grain boundary diffusion now participates in the void movement and growth, which is proposed to be the reason for the increased lifetime.","PeriodicalId":181674,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

This variation in diameter in fact translates into a 1,000 times difference in volume. Such a large difference in volume produces a pronounced solder volume effect. In this study, the volume effect on the liquid-solid reactions between the Sn3AgxCu (x = 0.4, 0.5, or 0.6 wt.%) solders and Ni was investigated. Three different sizes of solder spheres (760 /spl mu/m, 500 /spl mu/m, and 300 /spl mu/m) were soldered on 400 /spl mu/m diameter electrolytic Ni soldering pads for 90 sec-20 min at a peak reflow temperature of 235/spl deg/C. Two reaction products (Cu,Ni)/sub 6/Sn/sub 5/ and (Ni,Cu)/sub 3/Sn/sub 4/ were present at the interface in all the samples. Interestingly, a massive spalling of (Cu,Ni)/sub 6/Sn/sub 5/ from the interface occurred, especially in samples with smaller solder balls and lower Cu concentration. We attributed the massive spalling of (Cu,Ni)/sub 6/Sn/sub 5/ to the decrease in the amount of available Cu in the solders as the amount of solder as well as the Cu concentration decreased. The results of this study suggested that a high Cu-content SnAgCu solder should be used to prevent this massive spalling.","PeriodicalId":181674,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.
