Sintering materials for die attaching has received remarkable attention from power module industry. Sintering techniques are required to realize for high reliability bonding for wide band gap (WBG) device such as SiC and GaN device. However, their reliability and knowledge of thermal characteristic depends on die attaching material have been a little investigated. In this study, we will discuss difference of thermal characteristic among silver sintering material, copper sintering materials and high lead solder. TO-247 type molded packages were employed for evaluation of die attaching materials. Change in transient thermal resistance were measured after thermal cycling test by T3Ster. The thermal resistance of die attaching portion were analyzed by structure functions. Simulations of transient thermal resistance were performed on the effects of various parameters of the constituent materials on the structure function. The die attach portion of structure function was specified from the simulation. These results indicate that thermal resistance of silver sintering material and copper sintering material portion are lower than that of high lead solder portion and crack resistivity of silver sintering material and copper sintering material are higher than that of high lead solder.","PeriodicalId":244618,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 21st Electronics Packaging Technology Conference (EPTC)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131383639","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 results showed that the fracture mode transformed from ductile to brittle, and the fracture location was transferred from solder layers to intermetallic compound layers with the decrease of temperature. The cryogenic temperature factor severely inhibited the movement of dislocations, and the brittle fractures were prone to occur at the layers with high-density dislocations. When the temperature dropped drastically, the IMC easily cracked at the interface due to mutual extrusion, further evolved into microvoids causing fracture behavior at the IMC layer in the end. The changing of crystal structure played a crucial role on the changing of fracture mode. The isotropic $alpha$-Sn relieved the stress generated by the ultrasonic wave to a certain extent.","PeriodicalId":244618,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 21st Electronics Packaging Technology Conference (EPTC)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128143110","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 effect of different interface pressures and surface roughness on the thermal contact resistance of the cap and indium interfaces contact was investigated. The deformation of the cap and indium under the interface pressure was analyzed by the finite element method. It was found that due to the low yield strength of indium, the small protrusions on the copper cap can be directly pressed into the indium, which increases the actual contact area and leads to the decrease in TCR. Moreover, larger surface roughness reduces the actual contact area and leads to the increase of TCR. Analysis shows that the reduction of TCR can be achieved by increasing the interfacial pressure or smoothing the contact surface.","PeriodicalId":244618,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 21st Electronics Packaging Technology Conference (EPTC)","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127546473","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}

However, the micro-void formation remains a serious problem that critically degrades the bond strength and the long–term reliability of the MEMS devices. In this study, the void formation and intermetallic growth in electrodeposited Cu-Sn stack layer at temperatures below and above the melting point of tin, i.e., 232 °C are reported. The samples were fabricated on 2-inch silicon substrates using standard microfabrication techniques. Voids were observed to be larger in samples annealed at temperatures above the melting point of tin. This was due to the enhanced Kirkendall's effect as well as higher dissociation and segregation of incorporated impurities in the electrodeposited metals at higher processing temperatures. Successful bonding of electrodeposited tin over the copper pad (bottom-side) to the bare copper pad (top-side) was demonstrated at low temperature, i.e., 150 °C with the minimum voids at bond interfaces and within the intermetallic compounds.","PeriodicalId":244618,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 21st Electronics Packaging Technology Conference (EPTC)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128371926","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}

Most electronic systems comprise a processing unit and some memory as basis components. Devices with a high compute power also demand a lot of embedded memory. In many cases this embedded memory is integrated within the same IC. This is maybe not the best solution for each case, since processing unit and embedded memory have different requirements. So a technology could be optimized for performance or memory but not both. Also the demand for metal stack is distinct. Processing units need a lot of metal layers for proper routing and memory typically comes out with a lot less, because of the regular arrangement. Because of these differences it can be suitable to divide processing and memory during production and merge both during assembly. In this paper the idea to partitioning processing and memory is presented and an example low-cost chip stack-up will be described, that is currently in production.","PeriodicalId":244618,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 21st Electronics Packaging Technology Conference (EPTC)","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124497834","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 3D stack assembly using through silicon via (TSVs) has been emerging as a good solution by using heterogeneous technologies. By stacking the ICs heterogeneously, TSV technologies can allow for faster electrical performance with little signal propagation time delay, consumes less power and smaller foot prints. In addition, the TSV technology also removes the using of substrate at finer pitch and integrate high power performance interconnects functions for chip-to-chip communication [1]. The work presented in this paper highlights the assembly challenges in the attachment process of the chip-on-chip substrate package onto the large $150mu mathrm{m}$ pitch Via-Last TSVs interposer at $40mu mathrm{m}$ thickness. The top level design consists of an FPGA (28nm, 12.65 m x 12.34 mm size, Arria V programmable SoC), two IO chips (65nm, 4mmx 4mm, Split IO and ESD) flip chip attached to a 130nm active through silicon interposer with dimension 22.8 mm x 16.4 mm. In summary, the method of handling such a thin large active interposer at 40um poses many challenges in the TSV assembly. A different assembly approach is required to ensure minimum silicon interposer warpage and allows for good SnAg solder formation and wetting for both the FPGA die and the 65nm dies during reflow process. Detailed underfill process optimization needs to be studied to achieve no voids in the Fine pitch interconnect assembly on large active silicon interposer. The assembled ATSI package is able to pass with good electrical continuity results for 3 different reliability tests.","PeriodicalId":244618,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 21st Electronics Packaging Technology Conference (EPTC)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125908699","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}
