The growth and influencing factors of voids in the interfacial region of electroplated Sn-3.0 Ag solder bumps on electroplated Cu and their effects on interfacial bonding strength during multi-reflow and aging process were studied. Results show that the volume shrinkage during the phase transformation was the main reason for the void formation during multi-reflow. The Kirkendall effect was the main reason for the void formation during aging. A thick eta-phase and the voids at the boundaries among Cu6Sn5 grains promoted the voids growth in the epsiv-phase. Though the formation of voids had a trivial weakening effect to the shear strength of solder joints, the voids were a threat to the bonding reliability of solder bumps.","PeriodicalId":325619,"journal":{"name":"2007 8th International Conference on Electronic Packaging Technology","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129801869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To find a new way to reduce the PTR. ultrasonic was applied in the polishing experiment. At first, the experiment with two kinds of samples. AlTiC bulk and NiFe bulk were carried out in free abrasive lapping way with the float-piece polisher. It was discovered that the material removal rate and the roughness of surface is improved in different extent of different material, the material removal rate (MRR) of the AlTiC bulk was increased from 10 nm/m to 16 nm/m. while the MRR of the NiFe bulk was increased from 23 nm/m to 30 nm/m. Encouraged by the result of the experiment, the specimen of 70 mm*1.25 mm rowbar with 60 GMR magnetic head was polished in the same condition, as a result, the PTR was reduced from 65 nm to 45 nm. Furthermore, the ultrasonic was introduced into nanogrinding of recording head. In this way. the PTR was controlled at lnm or so and smoother surface was achieved. Two kinds of mechanism about the role of the ultrasonic were prompt to explain in what way that the material removal rate is improved and why the improved ratio is different in different materials in the polishing.","PeriodicalId":325619,"journal":{"name":"2007 8th International Conference on Electronic Packaging Technology","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134243583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lhe results show that IMCs thickness of Sn-9Zn-Cr alloys is much thinner than that of Sn-9Zn alloy after aging, but there is little difference on IMCs thicknesses among Sn-9Zn-Cr alloys. It is of interest to note that IMCs growth rate of Sn-9Zn-Cr is about 1/4 times of that of Sn-9Zn alloy. We supposed the reason is that Cr can slow down diffusion rate of Zn in solder. It is quite reasonable to consider that reliability of Sn-9Zn-Cr solder joints is better than that of Sn-9Zn solder joints because of thinner intermetallic compound layer.","PeriodicalId":325619,"journal":{"name":"2007 8th International Conference on Electronic Packaging Technology","volume":"145 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133810336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The bonding windows of the necessary bonding force and temperature were described. The composite percent on the bonding surfaces was analyzed quantitatively by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The successful bonding of Sn-Ag-Cu solder bumps in solid state is benefited from dispersing contaminants and oxides. With the activated process to the bonding surfaces prior to the assembly, the thickness of contaminant and oxide layers in SAB is less than 2 nm, which is much smaller than that of TCB.

Therefore, transfer of the devices from the former sapphire substrates to more thermally and electrically conductive receptor substrates is recommended. Laser peeling has been a new technology of separating films of GaN from the substrate on which they are grown. Experience shows that the films can be debonded intactly when the laser parameters are well controlled. In this contribution, the mechanics of the laser-assisted debonding of GaN films on sapphire, silicon and copper substrates is considered so that the specific parameters can be optimized in order to achieve a feasible process scheme that may be used in the industry. During the simulation, the knowledge of interfacial crack generation between dissimilar materials is considered to be the essential principle of the process of \"liftoff\". Failure of the interfaces results in the debonding. Whatever, the films of chips should not be damaged in the duration of the \"lift-off\" process. A few important issues such as temperature distribution, stress distribution and energy release rate are raised in terms of examining whether the films are likely to be damaged.","PeriodicalId":325619,"journal":{"name":"2007 8th International Conference on Electronic Packaging Technology","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114606745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Commonly-used electronics reliability prediction methods (e.g. Mil-HDBK-217, 217-PLUS, PRISM, Telcordia, FIDES) based on handbook methods have been shown to be misleading and provide erroneous life predictions, a fact that led the U. S. military to abandon their electronics reliability prediction methods. The use of stress and damage models permits a far superior accounting of the reliability and the physics-of-failure, however sufficient knowledge of the actual operating and environmental application conditions of the product are still required. This paper presents a physics-of-failure based prognostics and health management approach for effective reliability prediction.

In this research, the self-alignment method by using surface tension of molten solder and by adopting specific pad shape was proposed. First, the self-alignment model of solder joint in fiber attachment soldering was developed by using the public domain software called Surface Evolver and the three-dimensional (3D) geometry of solder joint with different pad shape was analyzed. Then, the self-alignment behavior of solder joint with an initial yaw misalignment was discussed and the theoretical equilibrium positions of five different pad shapes were calculated. Next, experiments were done to examine the theoretical equilibrium positions of these pads. The numerical results show that the theoretical equilibrium positions of ellipse pad are the major axis of ellipse, and it is much more appropriate for self-alignment. And the diamond pad and the combined pad have also self-alignment effects, but the square and the crisscross pad are not appropriate for self-alignment due to more than two equilibrium positions. The experimental results show the solder joint with initial yaw angle can be self-aligned to the theoretical equilibrium position of these five pads and solder joint of ellipse pad demonstrates smaller alignment error than that of diamond and combined pads.","PeriodicalId":325619,"journal":{"name":"2007 8th International Conference on Electronic Packaging Technology","volume":"26 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125743473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
