The TPOV enables encapsulation and packaging of silicon photonic systems using film assisted molding (FAM) and the creation of micron-sized through polymer optical vias. The optical vias are lithographically defined in thick film photo-resist (∼ 300 μm) and parallel processed on substrate level. Placing and connecting optical windows on individual chips using pick & place is a difficult and time-consuming process because of the stringent requirements on alignment accuracy, cost and throughput. In this work we provide a solution to this problem by combining microfabrication technology with back-end film assisted molding technology for a new packaging approach for the integration of optical windows. As feasibility study we show through polymer optical windows on optical encoder Si photodiode arrays. The resulting microstructures are transparent in the spectrum of interest and hence serve as optical windows towards the substrate. Furthermore, our results show that the high aspect ratio (5:1) micro structure windows can be achieved and protected using FAM-technology. The optical through package windows are accurately defined (±5 μm accuracy due to mask limitations) and can significantly improve the throughput. The total process time of a single wafer with up to 1260 chips and 20160 windows, including lamination, exposure and development, would approximately take 1-1.5 hours.","PeriodicalId":198238,"journal":{"name":"2018 7th Electronic System-Integration Technology Conference (ESTC)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123104633","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}

Besides providing greater number of IOs than could be obtained by fan-in wafer level packaging (WLP) it also offers interesting opportunities for multi-die packaging with minimum package dimensions. Combined inertial sensor is an established category of automotive sensor components. with of two or more MEMS sensor dies for 36 axis motion measurement and an interface circuit die. It is used for electronic chassis stability control (ESC) and for advanced driver assistant systems (ADAS). Currently the sensor is packaged in various standard or proprietary configurations: ceramic cavity packages, pre-molded plastic cavity packages, over-molded SOIC, PBGA. The demand is towards smaller foot print and smaller height, lower cost and better robustness to vibrations. FO-WLP offers some excellent characteristics like small size, compatible cost, vibration robustness and low stress to sensitive MEMS dies. Present work shows that it will also reach automotive reliability requirements and pass high temperature, thermal cycle and temperature-humidity tests. Three fracture mechanism of the solder ball IOs were identified at 2000 thermal cycles. Solder fatigue was no issue and by design changes two other mechanisms can be corrected. Two-fold redundancy will make an IO failure rate low enough. EMI and internal cross-talk protection was found better than with existing devices. Reversible humidity dependence due to moisture absorption by polyimide film was seen and a lay-out change was implemented to overcome it.","PeriodicalId":198238,"journal":{"name":"2018 7th Electronic System-Integration Technology Conference (ESTC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117217634","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}

In this work CTGS substrates were used as test sample material. To realize a sensor setup an interdigital transducer (IDT) is necessary and deposited onto the surface of CTGS. In the present work thin film deposited tungsten molybdenum (WMo) and ruthenium aluminum (RuAl) as functional chip metallization will be investigated. For electrical interconnecting of sensor dies wire bonding is the dominant technology in general. Therefore, wire bonding is also the first choice to interconnect SAW sensors. Typical wire bonding materials are Copper, Gold or Aluminum (respectively AlSi1). With regard to high temperature applications up to 1,000 °C these materials have an unsuitable melting point. With regard to reliability the homologous temperature T/Tm should be less than 0.5 i.e. the melting point of the bonding wire has to be at least around 2,275 °C. In [1] Wolfram (TS =3,422 °C) is described as suitable wire material, but it is not common for wire bonding at present. Platinum (TS =1,768 °C) is the best fitting material which is available as adequate bonding wires at the market and already approved by wire bonding. So it is possible to use this material at least up to 748 °C for a homologous temperature of below 0.5. Another critical point besides the wire material is the chip metallization of the IDT and the antenna of the wireless SAW sensors. To reduce the thermoelectric effects at high temperatures and to improve the wire bonding process, platinum finish metallization are being investigated for both, CTGS and antenna on ceramic. For chip metallization thin film technology is used. For antenna either the thin film technology or the thick film technology can be used, while thick film technology is standard for this application. However, a combination of both technologies is applied in this paper to reach best results. Ultrasonic and Thermosonic wire bonding is also compared as main technologies for connecting the SAW chip to the antenna. In according to the DVS guideline 2811 wire pull and ball shear tests were performed on test samples to evaluate the bond quality. In publication [2] an increasing of pull strength after storage at high temperature is described. Therefore, the manufactured test samples were also stored at 800 °C for 2h and 10 h under high vacuum. The pull and shear test results are better as the initial results as expected.","PeriodicalId":198238,"journal":{"name":"2018 7th Electronic System-Integration Technology Conference (ESTC)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121081880","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 formation of vertical cracks can observed but could not be attributed solely to the decrease in volume due to the conversion of remaining solder within the joining zone into intermetallic phases (IMC). Rather, these result from the different coefficients of thermal expansion of the selected joining partners and the joining materials themselves. The occurrence of mechanical stress within the joining zone in combination with the stiff and brittle properties of the IMP promotes the formation of the vertical cracks. In contrast to the ageing effects of soldered or silver-sintered interconnections, the HPC-soldered structures hardly impair their electrical and thermal function.","PeriodicalId":198238,"journal":{"name":"2018 7th Electronic System-Integration Technology Conference (ESTC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127440813","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}

Sintering offers an interconnect that can be formed at low temperature while at the same time can operate at high temperature. The goal of the research of this paper is to develop a sintered interconnect which can replace traditional AuSn or SnAgCu (SAC) solder, offering low thermal resistance, sufficient shear strength and thermo-mechanical fatigue resistance. Silver offers excellent thermal properties and can be an effective replacement in case of low mechanical stress applications. But copper is in case of applications with high thermo-mechanical stress the material of choice due to its higher yield strength and in general due to lower material cost.Process conditions in case of silver sintering under pressure and pressureless silver sintering have been established. A stable interconnect matching the reference SAC305 solder in terms of mechanical and thermal performance has been realized returning shear strength values averaging 59MPa for silver sintering under pressure and 42MPa for pressureless sintering as against the reference SAC305 solder averaging 56MPa. The thermal performance, measured by transient thermal analysis (TTA) reveal the lower thermal resistance of 0,8K/W and 0,5K/W for silver sintering under pressure and pressureless silver sintering respectively, as against the reference SAC305 solder as expected based on the thermal conductivity of the material. Particles size, binding material, bonding force and bonding atmosphere are shown to have a major impact on the quality of the silver sintered interconnect. Pastes consisting sub-micron and nanoscale silver particles provide less porous interconnect compared to paste containing solely micron sized particles in case of pressureless sintering.A major challenge with regards to copper nano-powder based sintering is to ensure sufficient penetration of the reducing gas during the sintering process. This is observed also in terms of the mechanical (4MPa) as well as the thermal performance. The paste used in the experiments has not sufficient reducing agents. Based on the results strategies to improve the activation need to be developed for the binder chemistry.","PeriodicalId":198238,"journal":{"name":"2018 7th Electronic System-Integration Technology Conference (ESTC)","volume":"137 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114901284","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}

To generate the joule heating, it is necessary to have an electric current flow inside the heating material. This flow must be controlled, because the heating layer is a carbon-based material and can change its resistance as a function of the temperature. In this paper an experimental setup will be described, to realize a control circuit for the heating layer. First only to compensate the resistance change based on the temperature.
