Tech. Conf., 2002) has the potential to revolutionize testability of a gigascale system-on-a-chip (SoC). With this wafer-level packaging technology, testing and burn-in can be migrated to the wafer-level. The parallel nature of wafer-level testing and burn-in, facilitated by SoL, can drive down the cost of obtaining a packaged known good die. The extremely high I/O density of the SoL package, typically 12,000 I/O/cm/sup 2/, provides access to internal nodes on a chip. Greater node access enables partitioning of the device-under-test (DUT) into smaller units while maintaining the ability to control and observe them. In turn, smaller units for testing equates to reduced test vector sets and shorter test times - a much sought after objective. A compliant probe technology has been developed to contact the SoL package. It provides a high-density, low-parasitic, and reliable interface between the package and automated test equipment (ATE) during testing. The compliant probes when used jointly with SoL offer a novel approach to efficiently testing a future SoC.","PeriodicalId":285713,"journal":{"name":"52nd Electronic Components and Technology Conference 2002.

A novel compliant off-chip interconnect, One-Turn Helix (OTH), is designed as an underfill-free interconnect. It has excellent compliance in all directions to compensate the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) mismatch between the silicon die and an organic substrate. The fabrication of OTH is similar to standard IC fabrication, and wafer-level packaging makes it cost effective. In this work, we study the effect of geometry parameters on mechanical and electrical performance of OTH. Thinner and narrower arcuate beam with larger radius and taller post are found to have better mechanical compliance. However, it is found that structures with excellent mechanical compliance cannot have good electrical performance. Therefore, a trade off is needed for the design of OTH. Response surface methodology and an optimization technique have been used to select the optimal OTH structure parameters.","PeriodicalId":285713,"journal":{"name":"52nd Electronic Components and Technology Conference 2002.

The method is based on partitioning the system into linear and nonlinear subnetworks and solving each subsystem iteratively using waveform relaxation technique. This allows a suitable and efficient simulation technique to be applied on each subnetwork. The linear network is analyzed using a reduced-order-modeling technique in the frequency domain and the time-domain waveforms are obtained using the inverse Laplace transform relation and reclusive convolution in the absence of the nonlinear networks. The method improves the simulation speed and accuracy because smaller nonlinear circuits are solved using conventional simulation methods. The technique and the validity of the method are discussed with an example using the Rambus memory channel.","PeriodicalId":285713,"journal":{"name":"52nd Electronic Components and Technology Conference 2002.

This paper is aimed at modeling and reduction of the tolerance to meet the requirements for high frequency applications; less than 10% resistance tolerance. A mathematical equation for resistance tolerance was derived and experimentally validated. The predicted resistance tolerance agrees with the measured value. With the aid of this equation, resistance tolerance can be related to the tolerance of the print geometry, which is measurable and adjustable prior to firing. It is predicted that for the 10% resistance tolerance goal, print thickness tolerance must be no more than 8%. A comprehensive analysis and step-by-step strategy for tolerance reduction is presented in this work. Some experimental studies have been performed to determine the major factors affecting tolerance. Non-process related factors include resistor size (width and aspect ratio), number of resistor layers in the substrate, location of the resistors on a layer, and printer set-up. As for processing, if the printing is performed in a period of 7 to 17 minutes after paste is applied on the screen, consistent print geometry can be obtained. In addition, a 3-level and 5 factors design of experiments (DOE) shows that the printing parameters, except the low level of squeegee travel, have no significant effect on tolerance of print thickness and width. These results indicate that tolerance control must begin with the design, and include an optimized printer set-up for uniform print thickness across a large printed area. In addition, an appropriate printing process must be used to obtain high resolution rectangular resistors. Through these efforts, 6% to 10% thickness tolerance have been achieved for various print runs and process combinations. Further experiments are underway to evaluate tolerances from high volume production.","PeriodicalId":285713,"journal":{"name":"52nd Electronic Components and Technology Conference 2002. (Cat.

This new material is based on a non-anhydride resin system and therefore it does not have the chemical sensitizing concern. Unlike the short pot life of most anhydride systems this new material exhibited excellent pot life. The viscosity of the material did not increase over 48 hours at room temperature. During the assembly process, the material demonstrated that it fluxed the solder bumps, formed a nice fillet, and was fully cured during a single reflow exposure. Production efficiency is therefore significantly increased. In addition, the assembled packages using this novel no-flow underfill material also achieved high interconnect yield. In this paper, we present the curing kinetics study and material properties of this novel no-flow material. The influence of fluxing agents on curing kinetics of this system is discussed. Material properties such as glass transition temperature (Tg), modulus, and viscosity were systematically characterized. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) dynamic-mechanical analysis (DMA), and rheometry were used for this study. In addition, promising assembly trial results, using small flip chips (PB8) and CSPs (TV46), are reported. Finally, the effects of the formulations and reflow profile on voiding and yield are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":285713,"journal":{"name":"52nd Electronic Components and Technology Conference 2002.

The experiment was performed on the two kinds of TQFP leadframes with the stamped and etched manufacturing processes. XPS results showed that the etched leadframe was the relatively better one in that less copper oxide was detected on silver surface after annealing process. However, more copper was clearly observed to diffuse onto the silver surface after annealing process in the stamped leadframe. In comparison between the stamped and etched lead-frames, the silver plated layer in latter more efficiently blocks the copper diffusion - either surface or bulk diffusion. In addition, TEM and AFM provided the additional insight of the grain structure and surface roughness measurement of silver.","PeriodicalId":285713,"journal":{"name":"52nd Electronic Components and Technology Conference 2002.
