In particular, the technique of using Au bumps to connect the bare chip with the substrate, with the aid of an anisotropic conductive film (ACF), is one of the most useful technologies. The most serious problem with ACF bonding technology today is that the deterioration mechanism of interconnections is not clear. This study is motivated to clarify the mechanism of deterioration and to establish the method of obtaining reliability in the design of interconnections for which ACF is used.","PeriodicalId":285713,"journal":{"name":"52nd Electronic Components and Technology Conference 2002.

Many of the failure criteria were used to solve 2-dimensional problem with a pre-crack. However, in real electronic packages, the size and location of the cracks or/and delamination cannot be predicted. It is not easy to use the traditional fracture criteria to deal with more complicated 3-D delamination problems. The potential delamination interface of copper leadframe/Epoxy Molding Compound (EMC) was selected in the study. The stresses of the interface were evaluated by the Button Shear Test. A series of Button Shear Tests was conducted to evaluate the adhesion properties of Epoxy Molding Compounds (EMCs) on copper substrate. In each of the tests, the critical load acting on the EMC of the button shear sample was measured at different shear angles and a finite element model was used to evaluate the stresses at the interface between the mold compound and the copper substrate. In this paper, an energy-based method is proposed by deriving the energy to initiate each of the tensile and shear modes of failure across the interfaces of the button shear test samples for the chosen EMC/leadframe material system. Component stresses were extracted from the numerical simulation in order to compute the distortional strain energy density, (U/sub d/), and the hydrostatic strain energy density, (U/sub h/), relating respectively to the shear and tensile mode. (U/sub d/) and (U/sub h/) were calculated from the Young's modulus of EMC and the average stresses within a selected region of the finite element model where it exhibits high stress values.","PeriodicalId":285713,"journal":{"name":"52nd Electronic Components and Technology Conference 2002.

In a European project (LEADFREE) SnAg, SnAgCu, SnAgCuSb, SnZn and SnPbAg have been tested in order to evaluate comparative data of the growth of cracks in solder joints. Reliability tests performed in other projects use accelerated tests proposed for tin-lead solders and showed a superior reliability of lead free solder over tin-lead alloys. The validity of these tests has to be questioned since they do not allow full relaxation of the stresses in solder joints. Thus each alloy is subject to another amount of strain. LEADFREE tests are run with slow temperature ramps and long dwell times to account for this fact. As a result a faster growth of cracks has been observed in lead free solder joints compared to Sn62Pb36Ag2.","PeriodicalId":285713,"journal":{"name":"52nd Electronic Components and Technology Conference 2002.

Now this HPPM is applied for the transient simulation of interconnects. First, the time-domain waveform is expanded in terms of triangular expansion functions. A knowledge of the triangle impulse response (TIR), which is represented in the form of a HPPM, then allows for the time domain simulation of the line voltage. A recursive convolution algorithm is adopted to carry out the required convolutions efficiently in the transient simulator. Combining this transient simulator with an HPPM extractor yields an efficient transient interconnect signal analysis tool. Work is ongoing to extend the technique to lossy interconnects.","PeriodicalId":285713,"journal":{"name":"52nd Electronic Components and Technology Conference 2002. (Cat.

The present work represents the first attempt to obtain a closed-form CAD formula for the effective dielectric constant of microstrip lines on dielectric substrates by considering the effect of conductor-substrate interphase, in addition to the skin effect losses, dielectric loss, dispersion and radiation losses based on the quasi-TEM assumption and the superposition of partial capacitance.

This paper is focused on suggesting and demonstrating a promising generic, modular, Direct-Chip-Attach (DCA), low cost and high reliable MEMS packaging design strategy and solution applying with high aspect ratio Through-Wafer Electrical Interconnect (TWEI).

The novel fabrication process gives excellent advantages such as extremely low thermal resistance, and a much lower thermal stress than the earlier QMIT concepts (Wasige et al., 1999; Joodaki et al., 2001 and 2002). This highly improves the packaging life-time and electrical characteristics of the active devices. The fabrication process is simple and compatible with fabrication of low-loss and high-Q passive elements. Successful integration of low-loss high-Q passive elements on low resistivity Si-substrates in this technology has been achieved for the first time (Joodaki et al., 2002). In comparison to the old concept of QMIT, the elimination of air-bridges in this technology not only reduces the parasitics but also enables the fabrication of the rest of the circuit after measuring the microwave characteristics of the embedded active devices. This makes very accurate microwave and millimeter-wave designs possible. Using the new fabrication process, microwave and millimeter-wave circuits (with both coplanar and microstrip lines) containing power devices have for the first time been possible.","PeriodicalId":285713,"journal":{"name":"52nd Electronic Components and Technology Conference 2002.

Then, over the determined data range of interest, the measurement capabilities of the measurement systems used in the work were determined by MSA (measurement system analysis). By use of a DOE (design of experiment), the measurement systems were determined to give significantly different measurements, indicating algorithms were necessary to translate available data from one measurement system to the reference measurement system for reducing scaling variation in the alignment process. The available data was found to highly correlate to the reference measurement system. Subsequently, using regression modeling techniques, algorithms were developed that translated available data to scale factors for compensation of the placement of through-vias and outermetal in relation to the microvias, the identified limiting factor to alignment capability.","PeriodicalId":285713,"journal":{"name":"52nd Electronic Components and Technology Conference 2002.
