Designing for first incident switching and timing accuracy are common parameters. However, as system frequencies increase, these guidelines are not adequate to ensure fault free system operation. In addition to guaranteeing first incident switching and restricting the plateauing of the transition edges in the threshold region, \"area of vulnerability\" criteria has been identified. This criteria guarantees the integrity of the circuit's signal over the critical portion of its cycle time and evaluates the sharpness of the transition edges. Not only does this reduce the likelihood of false switching and intermittent noise problems, it increases the accuracy of the timing equations which is essential in high speed systems. This technique also has the flexibility to emphasize different criteria depending on the system requirements.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":281423,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE 43rd Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC '93)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115177957","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}

Processing is easily carried out either with copper electrodes in a H/sub 2/O/N/sub 2/ atmosphere or with CuO electrodes in a burnout/reduction/sinter sequence. In both modes, circuits meet packaging performance requirements, especially distortion-free camber, without the need for constrained-sintering. The achievement of these properties has required an understanding of the origin of the forces affecting sintering, and the development of modifiers to control those forces.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":281423,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE 43rd Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC '93)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130618209","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 analysis is based on finite element modeling with a heat transfer film coefficient obtained from infrared thermal imaging analysis of a test board.

IBM has developed, qualified and implemented encapsulation in production for a wide array of selected C4 footprint chips attached to ceramic substrates. In addition to providing a very substantial improvement in reliability, this technology has enabled major extensions to the flip-chip on ceramic menu by relaxing chip footprint or size constraints, accommodating larger chips and allowing smaller C4's on finer pitches. Also, new package technologies have evolved that feature thin and lightweight surface mountable designs that conform to industry outlines. IBM evaluated several encapsulant formulations and tested over 2000 encapsulated chips and 200000 individual C4's during the development and qualification phases. Test data was collected for a variety of accelerated thermal cycling (ATC) conditions and was supported by extensive finite element modeling. Chip configurations included memory and logic footprints and ranged in size to 14.7 mm chip size and 10.2 mm DNP (distance from neutral point of chip footprint). In all cases, ATC data showed a dramatic improvement in C4 life on encapsulated chips with no adverse effects in other tests. Several different encapsulant formulations, each with minor variations, were evaluated, and the encapsulant dispense and cure process was optimized for ease of manufacturing high production volumes that are required by IBM.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":281423,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE 43rd Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC '93)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133291053","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}

This structure can reduce the electrical crosstalk between channels on the LD array. A 4-channel LD array sub-module is fabricated employing the above technique, and demonstrated. The module has good frequency characteristics over a bandwidth of 2.3 GHz. The electrical crosstalk between adjacent LDs is less than -30 dB at 1 GHz.
