In this technique, ACF is laminated onto the substrate before an IC is aligned and placed under high temperature. The ACF is then cured under pressure. Conductive particles trapped between the bumps of the IC and Cu tracks on the substrate forms electrical connections; while the adhesive ensures mechanical integrity. With the pitch becomes smaller and smaller, ACF technique is no longer capable to provide reliable connections due to the limitation in particle size and density and thus high risks in. open and short. Ultrasonic flip chip is developed as one of the potential techniques for ultra-fine pitch COF applications. In this technique, ultrasonic energy is applied through the bonding head to the bump/track interfaces. The relative moment results in localized high temperature which promotes the welding of two surfaces, to form mechanical and electrical connections. In this paper, the experimental results on ultrasonic flip chip on foil will be reported Au bumped test ICs were used The bumps were in rectangular shape with the length of typically 80/spl mu/m. The smallest pitch of the test ICs was 40/spl mu/m. Two layer adhesiveless polyimide based flex circuit substrates were de signed and used as the test vehicles for the investigation. Ni/Au were plated on the Cu tracks. The bonding process was optimized to achieve reliable interconnections. The critical parameters in ultrasonic bonding include ultrasonic energy, pressure, stage temperature, time and sequence of underfilling. High assembly yield was achieved with the optimized parameter settings. Thermal shock test and high accelerated stress test were conducted. It was shown that reliable interconnections can be formed using the ultrasonic bonding technique for fine pitch applications. However, considering the machine accuracy, bumps co-planarity, and displacement amplitude in the bonding process, further investigation is required for applications of less than 30/spl mu/m pitch.","PeriodicalId":201404,"journal":{"name":"Fifth International Conference onElectronic Packaging Technology Proceedings, 2003.

Without lead, the stability of the Sn/Cu interface during reflow suffers from the rapid dissolution of copper into molten tin. The requirements of multiple reflow during the flip-chip manufacturing steps further complicate the issue. This study aims to better understand the metallurgy and stability of the bump/copper substrate interface and compares the results to a Sn/Ni interface. A tin-copper bump with 0.7-1 wt% of copper and pure tin bumps were electroplated using a fountain plating machine on silicon wafers with copper and nickel as the under bump metal. The samples were pre-annealed at various temperatures and multiple reflows were performed using a 5-zones reflow-oven. The cross-sections of the interfaces were studied by scanning electron microscopy and scanning Auger microscopy. It was found that copper dissolution into the eutectic tin copper and pure tin solders during the reflow process resulted in the formation of Cu/sub 6/Sn/sub 5/ intermetallic at the interface. The ball shear test result suggests that the presence of the intermetallic at the interface did not adversely affect the bonding strength of the bump/copper interface. In this study, we developed a pre-annealing process to control the intermetallic region that can significantly slow down the copper dissolution during reflow.","PeriodicalId":201404,"journal":{"name":"Fifth International Conference onElectronic Packaging Technology Proceedings, 2003.
