{"title":"On current carrying capacities of PCB traces","authors":"Y. Ling","doi":"10.1109/ECTC.2002.1008335","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ECTC.2002.1008335","url":null,"abstract":"Realizing the increasing importance of the PCB (printed circuit board) current carrying capacities in PC (personal computer) applications, this paper addresses the DC and AC current carrying capacity problems. The classic Fourier series method is used for both two and one-dimensional analyses. But for the simple case of a single conductor arbitrarily located along the PCB length, a direct analytical solution is given without using the Fourier series. It is found that the 1-D and 2-D solutions yield an almost identical result for a typical PC motherboard. Many inside understandings are gained by revealing the impact on the current carrying capacity of various parameters such as the time, conductor thickness and width, allowable temperature rise, heat transfer coefficient, PCB copper volume percentage, PCB length and thickness, as well as the number of traces and their separations. The time constant of a PCB in a typical PC application is in the order of 100 seconds. Thus, the PCB can hardly have time to thermally respond to the AC components of I/sup 2/ even for a frequency as low as 1 hertz. Thus for any practical purpose, the conductor traces can be sized using the mean square value of the current, just based on the DC analysis. The conductor trace location along the PCB thickness has very little impact on its current carrying capacity and there shouldn't be any derating factor for internal traces in their current carrying capacities. The IPC (1998) practice of derating the external trace current carrying capacity by 50% for the internal traces should be stopped. However, the location of a conductor trace along the PCB length does have impact. The trace located at the edge of a PCB will have a lower current carrying capacity than the trace at the center. The current carrying capacity is proportional to the square root of the trace thickness, and approximately proportional to the square root of the allowable temperature rise. But the dependencies of the PCB current carrying capacity to the trace width, heat transfer coefficient, copper volume percentage, PCB length and thickness, as well as the number traces and their separations are rather complicated, governed by the relevant equations derived in this paper. The PCB current carrying capacity design charts applicable to typical desktop PC applications are presented. They provide a tool to conservatively estimate the conductor size necessary to carrying the required current level. But more precisely predicting the current carrying capacity would require experiments that simulate the PC motherboard application conditions to determine the critical properties such as the heat transfer coefficient and the PCB equivalent thermal conductivity. This will be the future work.","PeriodicalId":285713,"journal":{"name":"52nd Electronic Components and Technology Conference 2002. (Cat.

The course aims to provide a unified view of physical system architectures from chip, circuit board, to cabinets. The course focuses on basic theory and analysis methods as well as design practice for high performance interconnections and packaging in such complex, mixed-signal end-products as mobile terminals and base-stations. Unlike many existing packaging courses, our course emphasizes physical performance constraints of interconnects and packaging and their dependencies on the underlying technologies, their impacts on the resulting system architectures and signal integrity. This is because our targeted students are chip and system designers rather than packaging experts. After this course, the students can choose an appropriate set of implementation technologies from semiconductor level to packaging and board level for their mixed signal end products, physically partition the system functionality across the packaging hierarchy with respect to mixed signal coupling constraints, perform physical performance estimation and trade-off analysis and define the appropriate physical architecture for system implementation.","PeriodicalId":285713,"journal":{"name":"52nd Electronic Components and Technology Conference 2002.

Plating process is suitable for making the fine pitch bumps with high-speed deposition and high reliability. At the same time, lead-free processes, for electronic devices and components, are required to address environmental concerns. Also, high-speed bumping processes have to be developed for mass production, low cost, small footprint, and high throughput. Ebara has developed electroplating technologies for eutectic Sn-Pb solder, high lead solder, lead-free solder, and copper stud bumps on silicon wafers with higher deposition rates. The bumps were fabricated as column or mushroom type using resist plating masks, such as negative, positive spin-on, and dry film photo resists. The results show that Ebara's processes are suitable for mass production, with well-controlled bump geometry.","PeriodicalId":285713,"journal":{"name":"52nd Electronic Components and Technology Conference 2002.

For the PCBs one should expect the increasing of the components density and interconnection density together with the continuous reducing of component size and weight. It is well known how important it is for a proper soldering process to have the temperature distribution on the junction point between component pins and the corresponding pads. Mainly convection and radiation realize the temperature distribution in the reflow oven. Usual thermal conduction is treated to study the dissipation characteristics from a structure to the environment. In case of SMT assembly it is reversed, the influence of inside environment of a reflow oven acts on the assembled structure. The way of heat transfer and physical properties of the subassemblies are very important to obtain reliable product; \"zero defects\". The paper has two main goals. First, to present a simple method to realize a map of heaters according with the oven's geometrical profile. This is necessary for mathematical modeling, computing and/or simulation. In the second part this method will be emphasized.","PeriodicalId":285713,"journal":{"name":"52nd Electronic Components and Technology Conference 2002. (Cat.

Burgoyne","doi":"10.1109/ECTC.2002.1008326","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ECTC.2002.1008326","url":null,"abstract":"Generally, isotropically conductive adhesive formulations include epoxy resin as the polymeric matrix. Although epoxy has superior adhesion capability, its drawbacks include the tendency to absorb moisture and lack of reworkability (thermosetting polymer). In this study, a thermoplastic polymer with low moisture absorption (0.279wt%), called polyarylene ether (PAE2), is used in isotropically conductive adhesive (ICA) formulation. Previous research work by Lu et. al. (1999) showed that the moisture absorbed into epoxy caused galvanic corrosion, which results in the formation of metal oxide. By using a polymer with low moisture absorption, the amount of water present in ICA will be small, and the corrosion rate and formation of metal oxide can be reduced. However, previous measurements of contact resistance stability of PAE2-based ICA showed that they are not stable on all surface finishes. It was determined that for thermoplastic-based ICA, poor adhesion was the main mechanism for unstable contact resistance. Two methods of adhesion improvement are evaluated in this work. The first is to use coupling agents and the second is to blend the thermoplastic with epoxy. Both methods showed promise in improving the contact resistance stability of polyarylene ether based ICA.","PeriodicalId":285713,"journal":{"name":"52nd Electronic Components and Technology Conference 2002.

Missing reference mesh equates to poor current-return paths for signals traversing such package regions. Missing power-supply vias equate to increased supply inductance. The test chip has 732 individually programmable off-chip output buffers, each of which can be individually probed. The first package has full reference mesh under the chip. The second package has reference mesh only in the upper half of the package under the chip. The third package has essentially no reference mesh under the chip. Technology and design features of the chip and package test vehicles are described. Noise and delay measurement techniques and results are presented. The large number of off-chip output buffers enables a statistical view of transmitted noise and skew behavior as signal current-return paths are compromised. This analysis is graphically presented and discussed. Several types of simulations, including extracted loop inductance and full-wave simulation of coupling parameters, are presented. These simulations elucidate the large differences in measured transmitted noise and off-chip output buffer skew between the three packages.","PeriodicalId":285713,"journal":{"name":"52nd Electronic Components and Technology Conference 2002.

The paper focuses on wire bond process optimization required for devices with soft low-k dielectric material compared to device with hard standard silicon dioxide dielectric. A fine pitch (60 /spl mu/m bond pitch) wire bonding process was established on test vehicles with SiO/sub 2/ and low-k SiLK dielectrics. All wire bond process parameters were established on the SiO/sub 2/ test vehicle. The process optimization was carried out with emphasis on free air ball formation, first bond and wedge bond. Optimized process parameters were chosen from the process window and confirmation wire bond analysis was carried out on the SiO/sub 2/ test vehicle. The same bond parameters were implemented on the low-k SiLK test vehicle, and were found to induce deformation of the low-k dielectric layer, resulting in the peeling of bond pad from the low-k dielectric. The wire bonded samples were subjected to ball shear and wire pull test. In the SiO/sub 2/ dielectric test vehicle, failure was always in the ductile Au ball during ball shear and at the neck during pull test. In the low-k SiLK test vehicle, the initial failures were bond pads tearing off the low-k dielectric. This paper discusses the bonding process optimization carried out in order to solve this issue and to achieve good bonding. This paper also reports the reliability of these devices under temperature cycle, high thermal storage and PCT (pressure cooker test) tests. Detailed failure analysis carried out on the bond pad failure is also reported.","PeriodicalId":285713,"journal":{"name":"52nd Electronic Components and Technology Conference 2002. (Cat.

This structure requires Chem-mech planarization to fabricate via studs and discrete wiring. In contrast, non planar structures result when sequential layers of metal and dielectric are deposited without the planarization step. During the fabrication of MCM-D, polyimide dielectric films are patterned to create a via opening, allowing for level-to-level connection. Traditionally, these vias are not stacked. In multilevel thin films, the more common via structures are either staircase or spiral. Even when the vias are co-centered, as is the case for power vias of some MCM-D products, the via diameter is increased from one level to the next level producing a reverse pyramid structure. IBM has developed stacked vias technology which simplifies and adds flexibility to the thin film design. This paper will discuss the processing aspects of stacked vias on a non-planar structure, and will present a mechanical finite element model for various via diameters (5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 um) on a four metal level structure. It will also contrast the effect on topography and planarity of stacked and non-stacked via structures.","PeriodicalId":285713,"journal":{"name":"52nd Electronic Components and Technology Conference 2002.
