Here, the results of investigation of the interface thermal resistance between the primary heat dissipating transistors and the heat sink are presented. With individual devices dissipating up to 130W each, junction temperatures have been shown to approach 200/spl deg/C when ambient temperatures reach 60/spl deg/C. Under these conditions the interface thermal resistance currently accounts for 20% of the total drop from junction to ambient temperature. Experiments were conducted to determine the interface thermal resistance of a number of candidate materials allowing comparison of application specific data obtained here with the manufacturer published data. The data was also used to compare the performance of the current thermal grease compound with several commercially available alternatives. At maximum power dissipation, transistor temperatures were reduced by up to 20/spl deg/C through the use of a high conductivity thermal grease in conjunction with careful preparation of the contact surfaces to ensure consistent flatness.","PeriodicalId":201404,"journal":{"name":"Fifth International Conference onElectronic Packaging Technology Proceedings, 2003.

Chong","doi":"10.1109/EPTC.2003.1298748","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/EPTC.2003.1298748","url":null,"abstract":"One approach to develop a high-density electronic package for memory modules is stacking the dice in the packaging and assembly processes. The development of the stacked die has been speeded up significantly in recent years by the maturity of the wafer thinning technology. Conventionally, if the top die and bottom dice are the same size, a dummy silicon die is used as a spacer to separate the dice and make room for wire bonding. Methods including using a much thicker epoxy or epoxy with spacer balls would be the alternative techniques. A new technique has been developed recently. A thick adhesive tape of size a bit smaller than the die is used as spacer as well as adhesive for the bonding of the bottom and top dice. This new process, known as adhesive tape application process, is introduced for stacking the dice. In the process, a predetermined tape size is cut, picked and placed on the top surface of the bottom die or substrate. The advantages of this technique over the dispensing process are (i) there is no die tilt and (ii) there are no epoxy bleed out issues. However, there may be new issues, such as delamination failure that occurs at the bonding interface. In this study, we find that void formation due to trapped air in the bonding interface is introduced by the tape application process while a collet with flat surface is used to place the tape on the bottom die or substrate. The uneven contact points between tape and bonding surface trap air bubbles in the bonding interface. We invent a new tape application tool that can basically eliminate trapped air bubbles during the tape bonding process. A convex compliant collet is used to pickup and place the tape on the bonding surface: The line contact between tape and bonding surface is formed in the middle of the tape. The air is not trapped in the bonding interface as the collet moves further down to deform the collet and squeeze the tape out sideways. Finite element simulation has been carried out to determine the optimized configuration in terms of force requirements to flatten the convex collet, strain/stress distribution of the compliant collet and the tape itself. Selection criteria of this compliant material for the tape application process are also discussed. Experiments have been carried out to verify the void-free condition is achieved using this new convex compliant collet.","PeriodicalId":201404,"journal":{"name":"Fifth International Conference onElectronic Packaging Technology Proceedings, 2003.

On the other hand, high constraint was associated with the joint closest to the edge of the silicon chip. Increasing external constraint on the PCB caused a slight increase in stress triaxiality in the joint closest to the edge of silicon chip.

Similarly the toxicity of halogen based PCBs in landfills has also prompted the industry as well as various governments to work toward the introduction of halogen-free PCBs in electronics. So research on the reliability and failure mode of BGA assembly with lead-free on different PCB materials including traditional FR4 material and new environmental halogen-free materials are very important in order to speed up their application in electronic. In this paper, firstly the mechanical bend fatigue reliability was studied by the Mini-Mechanical Tester (MMT) system. Then the failure mode was studied by cross sectional method. The results show that two failure modes were found for lead-free and halogen-free assembly. One is crack through, halogen free material and the other is crack in lead-free solder. For lead-free and FR4 assembly, two failure modes were also found. One is crack in solder and the other is crack in the copper trace. Considering the mechanical bend fatigue reliability of these two assemblies, when crack initiate from solder materials, the reliability of assembly with lead-free solder on halogen-free shows higher than that of assembly with lead-free solder on FR4. For the assembly with lead-free on halogen-free, the obvious law was found that the halogen-free material failure was the main failure in short life and the lead-free solder failure is the main failure mode in long life area. However there is no obvious law for the assembly with lead-free on FR4.","PeriodicalId":201404,"journal":{"name":"Fifth International Conference onElectronic Packaging Technology Proceedings, 2003.
