To confirm the simulation results, white-light interferometry measurement along with a Peltier element and a Pt-temperature sensor have been used. It has been shown that thermal resistances of 11/spl deg/C/W and 8.5/spl deg/C/W are possible using 200 /spl mu/m electroplated gold heat-spreader and diamond-filled polyimide on the backside of the active device, respectively. This promises successful realization of the high frequency circuits containing power active devices using the novel QMIT. Simulation and measurement results demonstrate a great decrease of thermal stress in the new generation QMIT in comparison to the earlier concept which extremely improves life-time of the packaging. A remarkable agreement between calculated and measured results was found.","PeriodicalId":285713,"journal":{"name":"52nd Electronic Components and Technology Conference 2002. (Cat.

The analysis methodology characterizes solder wetting as two different processes: the wetting dynamics of the solder contact line and the generation of the minimum energy surface of the molten solder. Surface Evolver is implemented to generate the surface shape of solder during wetting. Since there are no quantified dynamics models for solder materials, a solder wetting dynamics model is developed based on former wetting models proposed for other materials. The contact angle relaxation of spreading over time is measured in specially designed experimental setup for model development. As a result of experiment and model evaluation, a best wetting dynamics model is developed and the development of analysis methodology is completed. The study of reflow process parameter effects is ongoing.","PeriodicalId":285713,"journal":{"name":"52nd Electronic Components and Technology Conference 2002. (Cat.

We discuss the advantages and disadvantages for the intended system. One selected interconnection medium, which is manufactured by Shin-Etsu, is based on metal wires embedded in a matrix of polymeric material. The wires protrude from the surface of the polymer film. By compressing this material between substrates, contact is made between metallized gold pads on the substrates via the embedded wires. The Shin-Etsu connector allows connections among multiple substrates at 0.5-mm pitch without the need for precision connector alignment because it contains redundant wires at very fine pitch. The second interconnection method, which is manufactured by FormFactor, uses a wire bonder to create gold wires with spring-like geometries on an array of metallized pads, fabricated on a test socket or interposer. This paper describes the testing program to determine connector performance and reliability.","PeriodicalId":285713,"journal":{"name":"52nd Electronic Components and Technology Conference 2002. (Cat.

Thin films deposited through physical vapor deposition processes typically accrue intrinsic stresses through the micro structural variations caused by deposition or through thermally induced stresses imposed during cool-down from deposition temperatures. These intrinsic stresses can have a peak magnitude upwards of I GPa. To help prevent delamination, Ti or Cr \"adhesive\" layers, with microscale or nanoscale thickness, are used to increase the adhesion between the thin film and substrate. This study applies the Finite Element Method (FEM) to study the resistance to delamination of an innovative, stress-engineered, thin film interconnect. Adhesive layer parameters such as thickness, deposition-induced intrinsic stress, and material properties are examined. Fracture criteria (energy release rate and mode mixity) are used to quantify the effect of varying adhesive layer properties on interfacial fracture. The finite element study results are compared to a previously developed plate theory model, which does not account for the large deflection present in highly stressed film delamination. To determine whether a delamination will propagate, it is imperative that the interfacial fracture toughness be experimentally measured for the interface under study. Experimental measurement of interfacial fracture toughness and the associated mode mixity is currently a challenge for thin film interfaces. In addition to the numerical simulation, this paper discusses modifications to the decohesion test that yields a method that can tightly bound the interfacial fracture toughness using a single test wafer. Further it is a method that uses common IC fabrication techniques, can achieve low mode mixities easily and efficiently, and can be used with titanium interfaces. Results for Ti/Alumina interfacial fracture toughness are discussed and applied to the numerical study.","PeriodicalId":285713,"journal":{"name":"52nd Electronic Components and Technology Conference 2002.

The specimens are cross-sectioned for SEM inspection. The observed failure modes are characterized and correlated to the corresponding shear loading curves. The current experimental results can lead to a profound understanding in the failure mechanism of solder balls under mechanical shear loading.

An electroplating process was used in this study to deposit Au-30Sn (at%) solder on photoresist laminated substrates, based on previous successful attempts at depositing this alloy on unpatterned, metallized substrates. Difficulties were encountered in the course of electroplating photoresist patterned substrates. The problems were resolved by changing the chemistry of the electroplating solution through decreasing the gold:tin ratio. The problems arose because of penetration of the electroplating solution through pinholes in the photoresist, thus increasing the actual opening area for electroplating.","PeriodicalId":285713,"journal":{"name":"52nd Electronic Components and Technology Conference 2002.

The need to understand material performance from a molecular level is especially understandable when considering the target application in IC fabrication. With such small microstructures, the impact of the molecular mechanical properties imparted by the molecular structure and architecture become more and more important. In addition, we are finding that by understanding the effects of the formulation on the mechanical properties from the molecular level, formulation changes can be planned directly targeted at specific properties. Although we are using many aspects of molecular modeling to help us understand SOG and organic dielectric properties such as density, wetting, solubility and adhesion, for this paper we have concentrated on reporting our observations on modulus. Our studies have found that we can correlate the experimental modulus of these materials very simply with a molecularly derived modulus.","PeriodicalId":285713,"journal":{"name":"52nd Electronic Components and Technology Conference 2002.
