Accordingly, this study experimentally evaluated the interfacial adhesion at the polyimide (PI)/copper interface of a typical FO package following moisture exposure, using double cantilever beam (DCB) tests to determine the critical strain energy release rate GC. In addition, a comprehensive three-dimensional finite element (FE) model accounting for the effects of moisture diffusion, thermal loading, and mechanical stress was developed to simulate the hygrothermal behavior of the package. The model was validated by comparing the simulated results for the package warpage with the experimental measurements. The virtual crack closure technique (VCCT) was then applied to further analyze the delamination behavior of the FO package at the critical interfaces under combined hygrothermal loading. Finally, the Taguchi method was employed to evaluate the effects of the key structural design parameters of the FO package, such as the PI thickness and epoxy molding compound (EMC) material, on the strain energy release rate (GI) and to identify the optimal package configuration. The results showed that increasing the PI thickness and using an EMC with a compatible coefficient of thermal expansion significantly reduced GI and thus mitigated the risk of delamination.

This method employs a two-stage laser process: first, a low-power modifying laser generates pre-modified SiC layers, followed by a high-power-inducing laser that promotes continuous crack propagation. Compared with traditional LSD methods, the DLSD method can achieve continuous propagation of induced cracks, thereby reducing surface chipping damage, without causing thermal accumulation damage on the surface, further improving wafer cutting quality. The mechanism of continuous crack propagation induced by the DLSD method is analyzed in detail. The pre-modified layer of amorphous SiC generated by the modifying laser enhances the absorption of the inducing laser, resulting in an increase in the length of the modified layer and promoting continuous crack propagation. The influence of inducing laser power and scanning speed on cutting quality is also thoroughly investigated. Results show that increasing the inducing laser power and scanning speed improves the length of the modified layer and induces continuous crack propagation. Specifically, when the modified laser power is 0.14 W, the induced laser power is 0.18 W, and the scanning speed is 800 mm/s, the maximum chipping width and sidewall surface roughness reach their minimum values of 6.0 μm and 1.15 μm, respectively.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18240,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science in Semiconductor Processing","volume":"201 ","pages":"Article 110067"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145060294","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
