Although hydrogen peroxide is used in most semiconductor manufacturing processes, its' application as an etchant for TiW has been limited. Since some Micro-Rel product uses a composite metallization scheme containing a TiW/AlSiCu/TiW sandwich, the bonding pad etch process must include a TiW removal step. Without this step, a residual TiW layer is left on the metal pads causing wire adhesion problems (non-sticks) during the wire bonding processes. Current plasma etch techniques still leave a TiW residue on the aluminum surface. The hydrogen peroxide clean was instituted to minimize the presence of the TiW residue. By inserting this clean as the last step of the pad masking module, a cleaner metal surface was developed. To test the new process, wire pulls were done on product by two separate business units within Medtronic. Results from both areas showed no lifts. Surface analyses of metal bond pads treated with hydrogen peroxide shows a significant decrease in the concentrations of metallic oxides and tungsten. The SEM images of bonding pads show no loss in metal thickness and the metal surface is relative smooth with no trace of TiW visually evident.","PeriodicalId":227971,"journal":{"name":"Twenty First IEEE/CPMT International Electronics Manufacturing Technology Symposium Proceedings 1997 IEMT Symposium","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124046097","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}

Yet, as the need for below 0.18 microns and smaller devices increases, the stress induced leakage currents and device spacing of LOCOS becomes a severe limitation. The use of Shallow Trench Isolation (STI) has also been developed. However, recent improvements in the selective epitaxial growth dielectric isolation (SEG-DI) process have provided an alternative device isolation technique. The simpler SEG-DI process allows for higher packing density and reduced leakage current by eliminating stress. The DI-SEG process has been shown to be approximately the same cost as the LOCOS process.","PeriodicalId":227971,"journal":{"name":"Twenty First IEEE/CPMT International Electronics Manufacturing Technology Symposium Proceedings 1997 IEMT Symposium","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125334305","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}

Improving these design systems is critical to the industry's ability to rapidly launch manufacturable products into the market. Significant efforts must be made to overcome major shortcomings in industry infrastructure, concurrent engineering, expertise, and design tools. MCM design requires many elements of both integrated circuit (IC) and printed circuit board (PCB) design. The combination of industry standards and well developed processes has resulted in excellent design systems for developing highly manufacturable products in a timely manner. The current state of MCM design is assessed using the IC design process as a model. Significant industry investment has yielded enormous gains in IC design productivity, time-to-market, and functional costs. The multichip module industry can benefit from similar approaches. The paper gives detailed examples of specific issues concerning modeling components, substrates, and assemblies. Examples of systems for obtaining die data, substrate design rules, and assembly design rules are shown. These examples are from work performed by numerous organizations and are summarized with a snapshot of work on a portable Pentium(R)-based MCM. The results of developing improved MCM design systems will be significant: better products built at lower cost and brought to market quickly.","PeriodicalId":227971,"journal":{"name":"Twenty First IEEE/CPMT International Electronics Manufacturing Technology Symposium Proceedings 1997 IEMT Symposium","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125589522","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}

Passive thermal cycling is an important test to evaluate the lifetime of solder joints. However, tin-lead solder behaves viscoplastically. Therefore it is mandatory to take the metallurgical behaviour of the solder into account when accelerated tests are designed. Two different deformation mechanisms occur, depending on the temperatures of the test as well as the temperature gradient: grain boundary sliding (GBS) and dislocation climb (DC). Therefore, one is not free in choosing the parameters of a test cycle because test parameters (temperature ramp, dwell time) have a major influence on the growth of cracks. Furthermore the stress under service conditions must be taken into account.","PeriodicalId":227971,"journal":{"name":"Twenty First IEEE/CPMT International Electronics Manufacturing Technology Symposium Proceedings 1997 IEMT Symposium","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134082706","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}

Variation has an effect on product yields, and equipment can be a major cause of the total variation in a factory. SMC addresses these concerns, and it requires a change in mind set that takes time, training and a lot of energy to bring to fruition. SMC works if the organization is committed to overcome the stumbling blocks along the way.
