Failure mechanisms in encapsulated copper wire-bonded devices 封装铜线键合装置的失效机制

{"title":"Failure mechanisms in encapsulated copper wire-bonded devices","authors":"S. Manoharan, Gopal KrishnanRamaswami, F. McCluskey, M. Pecht","doi":"10.1109/IPFA.2016.7564308","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/IPFA.2016.7564308","url":null,"abstract":"The cost of gold has increased drastically in the last few years forcing IC manufacturers to switch to copper wire bonding. Copper is used in many plastic-encapsulated devices, but manufacturers are still using the same qualification tests for copper wire-bonded devices as for gold wire-bonded devices, even though damage accumulates differently in these two interconnections, and the failure mechanisms and models are significantly different. To study the damage to the wire, bond shear and pull tests are performed. However, due to the absence of a decapsulation procedure to reveal the ball bond and the wedge bond, these tests are usually performed on non-molded compounds, which does not account for the effect of the molding compound in the failure. To study critical failure mechanisms such as corrosion, wire axial fatigue, and wire bond fatigue, a novel method for wire bond decapsulation was developed, that uses a sequential process, resulting in minimum degradationor, in some cases, no degradation of wire bonds. Previous studies presented decapsulation methods that either revealed the ball bond or the wedge bond separately, but these methods cannot be used to perform wire pull tests. Exposing both the ball bond and the wedge bond is not easy, as the wire tends to break at the loop due to the long exposure time. This paper, describes - a successful decapsulation technique and presents bond shear results for devices with copper wire bonds, thereby permitting studies of encapsulated devices.","PeriodicalId":206237,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 23rd International Symposium on the Physical and Failure Analysis of Integrated Circuits (IPFA)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122075361","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 sensitivity of such a reliability test very much depends on how well it captures fluorine contaminant and moisture, the two key determinants of Al pad corrosion. Our test methodology is able to do so by a simple improvised solution to the experimental setup involving a wafer-box which contains quartz-boat mount test wafers. An array of small holes were drilled in the top cover lid of the box so that it can allow moisture from the test chamber to diffuse into the container and at the same time, still trap fluorine outgassed from the test wafer. The accelerated test methodology was successfully used to simulate, in laboratory time-scales, Al pad corrosion due to F-outgas from the pad sidewall polymer residue.","PeriodicalId":206237,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 23rd International Symposium on the Physical and Failure Analysis of Integrated Circuits (IPFA)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128048770","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 origin of the window closure and charge loss was partly caused by the electrons and holes mismatch along the channel lateral direction during the cycling. In this paper, two measurement techniques to observe the mismatch of programmed electrons and erased holes have been developed. It was demonstrated on an MTP (Multi-Time-Programming) SONOS flash memory. By observing the charge distribution, the mismatch which led to window closure and charge loss can be well understood, and better operating schemes can then be developed.","PeriodicalId":206237,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 23rd International Symposium on the Physical and Failure Analysis of Integrated Circuits (IPFA)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127649833","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}

As a result, an accelerating voltage of 40 kV for FIB processing and an accelerating voltage of 0.5 kV in Ar ion milling is the most suitable combination for observing a dopant profile clearly.
