In this paper, to achieve negative group delay with not only wide-band characteristics but also low-insertion loss, we newly propose the embedded transmission line with half-wavelength type folded-stepped impedance resonator (F-SIR) structure which has the symmetrical electric-wall at the guide center driven by differential-mode. The characteristics are discussed with numerical simulation. The concept of the proposed TL is based on the combination of resonance and anti-resonance due to open-stub resonator and F-SIR. The negative group delay and slope characteristics are achieved around anti-resonance. The insertion loss is dramatically improved compared with our previous results, which is constructed by gap and F-SIR structure. This study is a successful report that the validity of the proposed embedded TL structure is demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":343912,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Electronics Packaging (ICEP)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125696651","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 interconnections in our image sensor are comprised of 4 million micro bumps per chip. No increase in the number of failed interconnections or in micro-bump interconnection resistance was observed. For the heat cycle tests, our CIS is designed to have two test modes to detect failed interconnections by scanning all 4 million micro-bump interconnections in a short period. In the high temperature and high humidity tests, we tested the reliability of the interconnections by using test element group (TEG) chips to monitor the resistance precisely. We evaluated the effects of wafer bonding and the micro bumps on a MOS transistor with the TEGs, comparing two types of structures, one with micro bumps and one without, located under an nMOS transistor, and no difference in Vth among them was observed. These results prove that our 3D technology is reliable enough to be applied to our products.","PeriodicalId":343912,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Electronics Packaging (ICEP)","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127086845","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}

As part of a continuous effort, iNEMI has collaborated with individual companies to establish a sampling of current trends of electronic packaging warpage, and also initiated an effort to evaluate state-of-the-art dynamic warpage measurement metrologies. The former objective has provided a new batch of donated parts for warpage characterization which included Package on Package (PoP) memory, System in Package (SiP), Fine pitch Ball Grid Array (FBGA) as well as Flip Chip BGA (FCBGA) with and without a lid (heat spreader). The dynamic warpage metrologies considered were based on thermal shadow moiré, 3D digital image correlation (3D DIC), fringe projection moiré and confocal technique.

Also, two thirds of orthopedics outpatients are found to be associated with OA. Therefore, it becomes necessary and essential to detect the severity of OA knee joints as early as possible and to release/reduce the knee pain induced by OA. In recent years, the wearable technology has become the fastest growing electronic technology because of size miniaturization, low power consumption, intelligence, and convenience features. There are two features of wearables, i.e. the space is limited and the substrate used should be flexible and stretchable. In this paper, an innovated wireless wearable apparatus has been developed to detect OA symptom. A chip embedded flexible PDMS substrate with ultrafine conduct lines and laser-drilled vias is required for this innovated wearable devices. The packaging technology developed in this work is to vertically/horizontally assemble ultra-thin heterogeneous ICs, sensors, passive components, interposer or flexible substrate into a single package. In addition, reliability test and evaluation are conducted to evaluate one-time maximum bending test and duration bending test.

In the vicinity of the metal edges these high electric field strengths induce partial discharges in the ceramic insulation and in the covering synthetics and thereby represent one key degradation mechanism of power modules. In this work the correlation of the simulated electric field strength with phase resolved partial discharge (PRPD) measurements has been investigated. For the simulation of the electric field strength a new method was used to bypass numerical artifacts. The simulated values showed that it is possible to reduce the electric field strength by an adaption of the metallization structure. There the distance of the upper and the lower metallization to the rim of the ceramic was changed relative to each other. Due to this variation a reduction of the electric field strength by about 30 % can be reached by choosing the optimum distance compared to state of the art modules. In PRPD measurements for ceramic substrates (AlN/Al2O3 by DCB) we examined whether the field reduction leads to higher partial discharge inception voltages (PDIV). The measurements were executed on layouts with different dimensions of the upper and lower metallization relative to each other as well as for 3 different thicknesses of the ceramic insulation (1 mm and 0.63 mm AlN DBC, 0.63 mm and 0.38 mm Al2O3 DBC) layer. An increase from 20 % to 35 % of the PDIV was measured for layouts which were designed according to the findings from the simulation with respect to field strength reduction. Finally, the calculated electric field strength and the measured PDIV were correlated.","PeriodicalId":343912,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Electronics Packaging (ICEP)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131628800","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}

Transient thermal analysis method using SiC-Schottky barrier diode (SBD) is applied to measure the thermal structure function in wide temperature range from 50°C to 250°C. The module structure consists of a SBD, a silicon nitride-active metal brazed copper (SiN-AMC) and Cu baseplate which are bonded each other by Gold Germanium (AuGe) solder. We found that it is difficult to define the thermal resistance components of the SiN-AMC and baseplate in the thermal structure function. The reference module structure without SiN-AMC is prepared for isolation of thermal resistances. The thermal resistance of SiN-AMC is successfully defined by comparing the structure functions without and with SiN-AMC. This phenomenon is attributed to thermal spreading effect in the high thermal conductivity material (Cu baseplate) based on present experiment. The thermal resistance in the module structure are successfully defined into 4 components. Furthermore, temperature dependency of the thermal resistances is also measured even in the middle of the package structure in wide temperature range from 50°C to 250°C.","PeriodicalId":343912,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Electronics Packaging (ICEP)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132630432","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}
