Toward this target, we decide to attain signal attenuation smaller than -10dB at 30GHz (3rd harmonics). For this purpose, we propose that the attenuation of signal has been improved by making structure of global wiring into strip-line + coplanar structure. As a result, we find the condition (wire thickness and width 1.2 mum, distance between wires and insulator thickness 2.4 mum), which can transmit the signal (|S21| > -10dB, |S31|, |S 41| < -30dB at 30GHz). Furthermore, the feasible region among characteristic impedance, wire pitch and, attenuation of signal is made clear by using above results.

The model indicates that the interfacial shearing stress in an adhesively bonded or a soldered assembly is inversely proportional to the square root of the interfacial compliance, and that in \"conventional\" bi-material assemblies (characterized by moderately compliant bonding layers), the interfacial compliance is due to both the bonding layer and the bonded components. However, in assemblies with highly compliant bonds, it is the bonding material only that provides the high and favorable interfacial compliance. We suggest that an appropriate nano-wire array (NWA) fabricated on one or both bonded components be used as a suitable compliant bond. Based on the developed predictive model, we demonstrate that the application of the NWA as a compliant attachment can lead to a significant, about two orders of magnitude, increase in the interfacial compliance. This leads to a reduction in the interfacial shearing stress of about an order of magnitude (compared to the bonded joints using \"conventional\" adhesives or solders). We suggest that one of the modifications of the newly developed nano-particle material (NPM) be used in addition to, or instead of a NWA, to increase the compliance of the bonding layer. A suitable combination of both the NWA and NPM could be employed to provide a highly compliant and a highly reliable bonding material and structure. In this case the NPM is used as an embedding material for the NWA. Since the NPM has extraordinary mechanical and environmental properties, and, in combination with the appropriate NWA, can make an extremely highly compliant and a highly reliable bond, we expect that the NPM and NWA, used independently or in combination, find a wide application in various bi- and multi-material assemblies employed in micro- and optoelectronics, and well beyond the \"high-tech\" area","PeriodicalId":194969,"journal":{"name":"56th Electronic Components and Technology Conference 2006","volume":"13 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":"128696388","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}

No long via stubs are included initially. The complexity of the via structure is further increased by adding more metal layers, via stubs, and a return current via (at different distances from the signal via). Practical structures of increasing complexity are modeled such as those found in high-end servers and blade systems.

Popcorning in plastic-encapsulated IC packages is a defect frequently occurring in solder reflow due to moisture penetration into the packages. Moisture diffusion has a detrimental effect on the epoxy/copper interfacial adhesion and drastically reduces the reliability of the encapsulated package. The present study is focused on the moisture diffusion in both the epoxy molding compound (EMC) and the EMC/Cu interface. In order to evaluate which is the dominating moisture transport mechanism at the interface, molecular dynamic (MD) models were built using the 'Materials studio' software. Based on the conditions of 85degC/85%RH in qualifying tests in humidity chamber, the amount of water molecules are assigned to the packing cells in the MD models. All the MD simulations were performed at a temperature of 85degC using the constant-pressure and temperature ensemble (NPT). Non-bond interactions cut-off distance of 1.5 nm with a smooth switching function was used in all simulations. The simulation in each case study was performed with an interval of 1 femto second (fs) in each MD simulation step. The mean squared displacements of all water molecules were evaluated in each time-step to track the motion of the molecules. Constants of moisture diffusion in both bulk EMC material and EMC/Cu interface can be derived from the mean squared displacements. The MD results show that the value of the moisture diffusion coefficient at the EMC/Cu interface is higher than that in the bulk EMC material. It revealed that moisture can easily penetrate along the EMC/Cu interface. The MD simulation study has demonstrated that the seepage along the interface is the dominant mechanism for moisture diffusion into the EMC/Cu interface in plastic packages.

Historically, processors involved packaging one die on a package, but with higher performance demands, multiple die products have become necessary. With existing single core die designs, packaging two die in one unit provides a novel way of producing a dual core CPU without designing new silicon. This paper starts with the evolution of dual core CPU from use of two die joined to each other to separate die placed next to each other to the final form of two die placed with a gap. The land grid array (LGA) package technology development was done within the boundary conditions of reuse of existing sockets and enabling solutions. It involved use of higher layer count substrates to allow routing of two die to pre-existing pin-out, modified IHS to accommodate two die in a limited space, and die side components for helping power delivery. The paper describes the details of the substrate technology, routing options and design rules to meet the dual die package requirements that include product performance, substrate manufacturing and assembly and test. The test vehicle definition and design of different structures are described that are new for the dual die scenario. Also limitations based upon compatibility requirements for test lead to creative implementations of those test vehicle structures. The IHS design modifications implemented to fit the two die and to maintain the over all package stack-up are described. Routing and power delivery methodologies in the dual die package architecture are described. Discussed also are how substrate design rules, & collaterals and design process changed and adjusted to the move from a single die to two. The paper then focuses on the multiple challenges faced by the assembly and reliability areas. Single chip package versus dual chip package mechanical stresses are compared. Assembly areas of chip attach, under-fill, and IHS attach are described. The process design rules for UF in dual die case are new compared with the single die case. The challenges of IHS attach and TIM process (including thicknesses) for the two separate die are addressed. Specific challenges encountered for multi-chip packages (MCP) include application of chip attach flux, removal of flux after chip attach as well as voids formed at the TIM to IHS interface. Finally, thermal performances of the dual die package are presented and compared with that of a single die package. The thermal definitions and measurement methods for the dual die package are shown with equivalents to single die case. The thermal benefits of a dual die package prove the advantages of a dual die package in terms of product performance with respect to power dissipation.
