To obtain an early look at the issues facing fiber optics in the SMP application, two types of optical links, all-optical and hybrid-optical, were built and characterized in a real system. These links were evaluated in terms of cost, size, power dissipation, temperature rise, electrical interface, latency and bit error ratio (BER).

However, when the NCP is applied, reliability issues, such as excessive warpage, interfacial delamination, and increasing contact resistance of bumps, occur in the COG packages. The goal of this paper is to experimentally and numerically study the warpage of NCP-bonded COG packages with and without fillet after cured in the chamber with 150degC for 2 hrs, under thermal and moisture loads. Twyman-Green interferometry is used for measuring the warpages (out-of-plane deformations) of the COG packages due to such loads. Three-dimensional finite element method (FEM) is used for calculating the warpage and the results are compared with experimental observations in order to provide an insight to it in terms of mechanics. The full-field out-of-plane deformations (warpage) of the COG packages with and without fillet have been experimentally measured under thermal cycling and moisture loading. The results show that, right after manufacturing, the much apparently concave-up-shape warpages are found at the COG packages with fillet, but slightly concave-down shapes for those without fillet. And the warpages decrease with the heating temperature increasing. The warpages (fringe patterns) of the COG package, determined from experiment and FEM, are quite consistent for case with fillet or without fillet. Prior to investigating the moisture effect on warpages of the COG packages, the moisture-induced strain of the NCP at the condition of 29degC /85%RH for 12 hrs has been obtained to be epsivm = 0.3 % by testing NCP/silicon bi-material plate with a combination of Twyman-Green experiment and Timoshenko's bi-material theory. This strain value has been incorporated into the FEM analysis, and the obtained warpage distributions of COG packages with and without fillet are compared with those from Twyman-Green experiment. It is shown that moisture-absorption expansion strain leads to dramatically reduce the warpage of the COG package with fillet, but not for that without fillet","PeriodicalId":194969,"journal":{"name":"56th Electronic Components and Technology Conference 2006","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126982744","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, some higher-density packaging solutions require tine features to be patterned onto grossly non-planar substrates, for example, in mechanical, optical and fluidic microsystems and packaging schemes. Standard photolithography cannot be used in these cases because the inevitable gap between the (planar) mask and (non-planar) substrate causes diffractive line broadening and loss of resolution. We address this issue by realising the mask as a computer generated hologram (CGH), which can then be illuminated to generate an image in space corresponding to the required non-planar profile. The CGHs are derived from analytical expressions and encode both amplitude and phase information. We illustrate the performance with a 100 mum line exposed onto a substrate in the form of a plane/slope/plane, in which the change in depth is 40mm. Enhancements to the line shape are discussed that make the technique more robust to manufacturing process variations. The fact that features in the range 10-100 mum can be imaged at large distance whilst coping with significant changes of depth indicates that the technique shows great potential in the microelectronics packaging industry","PeriodicalId":194969,"journal":{"name":"56th Electronic Components and Technology Conference 2006","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128063632","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}

Based on the overall shape of resistance traces, a conservative failure criterion for time-to-failure was defined and the results were compared with those based on the conventional open-failure criterion. Solder joints with Cu UBM had a longer lifetime than with Ni UBM, based on the open-failure criterion; however, the lifetime with Ni UBM became comparable when the conservative criterion was applied. The Joule heating effect was accounted for based on experiments and finite element analysis. The temperature of solder joints was determined to be approximately 15degC higher than that at the Si die surface when 1 A of current was passed. For solder with Cu UBM, voids formed initially at the Cu6Sn 5/solder interface while the final open failure occurred at the Cu3Sn/Cu6Sn5 interface.
