The costs associated with the lead frame and tape process make the current LOC package ten times more expensive than conventional packaging. A new tapeless LOC package process has been developed which significantly reduces the production costs. In this new process, the tape is replaced by a thermoplastic adhesive layer deposited on the polyimide coated wafer. This paper describes the optimum thermoplastic material properties for the adhesive layer, the fabrication process parameters, and the experimental and simulated reliability and performance results of the tapeless LOC package.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":344532,"journal":{"name":"1994 Proceedings. 44th Electronic Components and Technology Conference","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124692837","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 achieve this goal, Technical Cost Modeling has evolved from traditional costing methodologies in order to estimate the dynamics of a system of manufacture, and to be used as a tool for determining optimal scale-up conditions. For the manufacture of thermal management chemical vapor deposition (CVD) diamond, cost models have been developed in older to estimate the appropriate scale-up conditions for different CVD diamond deposition and finishing technologies in order to fabricate diamond substrates for electronics packaging. Subsequent cost analysis is then undertaken to assess the viability of diamond as an electronics packaging material. With this ability to identify the cost of future manufacturing scenarios, the R&D pace of a promising technology can be quickened, or the investment schedule in an unfavorable technology can be phased out.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":344532,"journal":{"name":"1994 Proceedings. 44th Electronic Components and Technology Conference","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115384316","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}

Observations using scanning acoustic tomography and optical microscopy were carried out to investigate the existence of delaminations and cracks in the package, and the cracking patterns after IR reflow. Package deformations and thermo-mechanical stress distributions in the package were calculated by the finite element method. Three types of substrates were tried to prove that open thermal viaholes under die pad could prevent popcorn cracking during IR reflow. From the experiments and the observations, it was concluded that package cracking, which was caused by the expansion of moisture concentrated at the die adhesive layer, could be prevented using open thermal viaholes under die pad. The open thermal viaholes acted as vent holes, through which the expanded water vapor could go outside, not causing popcorn cracking. The die-attach process using U.V. tape was effective in the assembly of the packages with open thermal viaholes.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":344532,"journal":{"name":"1994 Proceedings. 44th Electronic Components and Technology Conference","volume":"261 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121214013","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}

Two distinct processes were used for the building of conformal copper-polyimide structures on alumina ceramic: Laser ablation of the polyimide for via patterning and wiring defined by subtractive etching of Cr/Cu/Cr, and photosensitive polyimide for via patterning and wiring defined by electroplating through a resist. Reliability evaluation was performed on test-vehicles with both MLTF processes by a combination of IBM standard and MIL-STD-883 stress procedures. These stresses were designed to monitor any potential reliability problems due to metal migration, corrosion (or contamination), metal fatigue, and poor step coverage. Electrical measurements were done before, during, and after stress to check for opens and inter and intralevel shorts. At completion of stressing, no failures were observed in either type of test vehicles. This indicates that both processes meet or exceed IBM current product reliability standards.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":344532,"journal":{"name":"1994 Proceedings. 44th Electronic Components and Technology Conference","volume":"28 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125861923","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}

This paper provides an example of a component manufacturer and a thermal-analysis software vendor working together to construct and validate a thermal model of first-level packaging of a die (the Pentium processor) that can be used by equipment designers concerned with second- and third-level packaging.

The program, written in C, then constructs the proposed package layout and calculates each lead's self inductance; its mutual inductance, mutual capacitance and the capacitance to a ground plane if one exists. The whole process of data entry and computer simulation usually takes just a few minutes on a 386 based PC. Results of benchmark package simulations agree to within 10% of hand calculations employing the reference's equations and drawings of the package. The Package Parasitic Model Program is helpful in integrated circuit package design and analysis. It saves the time of tedious data entry required in the more sophisticated three dimensional programs that use large amounts of CPU time on work stations.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":344532,"journal":{"name":"1994 Proceedings. 44th Electronic Components and Technology Conference","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114208205","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}

It concentrates on the application of a public domain software program called Surface Evolver to solder joint modeling. Surface Evolver uses numerical optimization techniques to compute the shape of capillary surfaces. Solder joints are one of many applications of Surface Evolver. It seems to be well suited to compute the shape of complex solder joints. Results from Surface Evolver are compared to shapes computed by other means, and to the shape of actual solder joints. Good agreement is obtained in most cases.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":344532,"journal":{"name":"1994 Proceedings. 44th Electronic Components and Technology Conference","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114538190","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}
