We present the first detailed report on the dependence of the RIN of a fiber pigtailed laser diode on the process of pigtailing to a cleaved single mode fiber. The packaged device might have different RIN value due to the different alignment position where the reflection from the package is different. It is demonstrated that there is an optimal fiber-laser alignment position at which the value of RIN is at a minimum. It is thus important to consider the RIN optimization during fiber-laser alignment, in addition to seeking the maximum optical power coupled into the fiber. This work demonstrates that the RIN measurement is imperative when we prototype any non-isolator laser diode packaging.","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.

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.

Over a high frequency range (from 5 GHz to 40 GHz), the ABMSL has very low insertion loss below 0.08 dB/mm.

It is shown that in the case of V-groove alignment of ribbon fibre (for example), where the height deviation of fibre cores can be significantly greater than the pitch deviation and there is a channel to channel variation in bond line thickness, this can lead to significant channel to channel variation in coupling loss.","PeriodicalId":285713,"journal":{"name":"52nd Electronic Components and Technology Conference 2002.

These passive devices are used as stand-alone components or form an integral part of filters, oscillators, amplifiers, mixers and other RF circuits. This paper discusses the design of high Q inductors and high Q capacitors in organic substrates. Inductors with maximum quality factors in the range of 60-180 were obtained at frequencies in the 1-3 GHz band for inductances in the range of 1 nH-20 nH. This is the first demonstration of such high Q inductors in organic substrates processed using low-temperature (<200/spl deg/C) processes. The dimensions of all inductors are comparable to a low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC, <900/spl deg/C) and multichip module deposition (400/spl deg/C<MCM-D<500/spl deg/C) technology process and well suited for integration in a variety of applications. The paper also discusses the performance of embedded capacitors in organic substrates. Although the Q factors for the capacitors in organic technologies are comparable to ceramic technologies, they do not compare well with the performance of inductors. The results for embedded capacitors show the need for lower loss materials compared to those currently used in low-temperature organic passive technology.","PeriodicalId":285713,"journal":{"name":"52nd Electronic Components and Technology Conference 2002.

Today, the most common method used to create the 'system' is to mount separately packaged ICs on a next-level substrate. Even with a low pin count, a package is typically several times larger than the IC, to accommodate the low wiring density on the PCB. High-performance systems, such as network processor systems, require high data bandwidth between key components and thus need an increased number of signal I/Os. Wide I/O busses switching at high speeds consequently require a larger number of power and ground pins to reduce switching noise. As a result, system performance is limited by increasing package size and the associated parasitic inductance and capacitance of the package and its connection on the PCB. System on chip (SoC) architecture attempts to integrate many functions, both analog and digital into a monolithic device. The successes are many, but so are the challenges. Many functions cannot be optimized due to the limitation of the semiconductor substrate used. Also, as defect density scales with area, the notion of integrating large scale functions (memory, switch fabrics) with small scale functions (rf devices) results in compounded yield impacts. System in Package (SiP) technology allows heterogeneous devices to be integrated into a small form factor. The integration technology includes embedded devices in the substrate and 3 dimensional chip-stacking approaches. By using a silicon based SiP, a copper/low K interconnect defined by lithographic processes on silicon offers very dense routing with high speed, low noise signal paths. The ICs used in the SiP can be designed to leverage the high density interconnect by optimizing both the core and the I/O of each device. Additionally, specialized devices can be designed specifically for the SiP architecture to take advantage of the high bandwidth and low latency features. Reducing chip-to-chip bus capacitance can dramatically decrease system power requirements and thermal dissipation. The lower bus power can be traded against higher bus frequency to improve performance at a fixed power level.","PeriodicalId":285713,"journal":{"name":"52nd Electronic Components and Technology Conference 2002.

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.

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.
