This paper demonstrates why area-array based chip-to-substrate and substrate-to-card interconnections are strategic, particularly solder bump flip chips (SBFC or C-4) and solder grid arrays (SGA) respectively. That is, SBFC are capable of high pin counts coupled with high yields, performance and reliability. Moreover, recently introduced SGA interconnections, both ball and column, provide substantial benefits over standard pin grid array (PGA) packages. Also, SGA packages possess the highest density achievable at the card level when utilized in conjunction with SBFC-mounted die.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":344532,"journal":{"name":"1994 Proceedings. 44th Electronic Components and Technology Conference","volume":"16 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":"128820451","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 development of plastic thermally enhanced quad flat Packs (TEQFP), which incorporate heat slugs or heat spreaders in the leadframes, provide a cost effective solution.

This paper discusses the impact of moisture on package cracking during the board mounting process and the overall reliability of TEQFP's. Based on-our study using scanning acoustic tomography and reliability stress tests, our findings reveal that TEQFP's have comparable reliability to standard PQFP's if proper storage and drying guidelines are followed.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":344532,"journal":{"name":"1994 Proceedings. 44th Electronic Components and Technology Conference","volume":"36 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":"117246277","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}

Capping of copper features is required to avoid copper corrosion and diffusion into overlaying dielectric layers of thin film structure. Furthermore, in a multilevel thin film structure, certain barrier metals provide improved adhesion for the subsequent dielectric layer. Experiments with XeCl and Nd:YAG lasers were performed to determine the best laser source for a copper/polymer/ceramic material set. The laser capping process is more robust and quicker than conventional photolithography or electroless plating capping processes, while eliminating the wet chemical operations. Also, the laser capping process eliminates the undercapping and variable capping metal thickness problems associated with photolithography and/or electroless plating techniques. The results of capping metal features on bare glass ceramic and polymer surfaces are described.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":344532,"journal":{"name":"1994 Proceedings. 44th Electronic Components and Technology Conference","volume":"3 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":"130868301","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 effective inductance of a lead on a plastic package was suspected to be influenced by many other leads in the package. We have thus formulated a three dimensional conductor model for bonding wires, leads, and socket conductors to take into account their three dimensional structure. We calculated the mutual inductances and simulated the simultaneous switching noise by either including elements in the mutual inductance matrix or not. We clarified the contribution by the elements in the matrix, and a modeling technique for accurately simulating the simultaneous switching noise was proposed. This technique was developed for predicting characteristics of a assembled high-speed and multiple-bit device accurately during the circuit design stage. This would allow us to tailor the output circuit for maximum performance of devices under assembled condition. The design of the output circuit affects the simultaneous switching noise through the effective inductance of the ground line.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":344532,"journal":{"name":"1994 Proceedings. 44th Electronic Components and Technology Conference","volume":"2 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":"130270706","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}

A unique process, two step transfer molding, allows for internal shielding, intermediate IC testing, ease of assembly and IC package sealing. An injection molded outer housing is used for connector insertion and external shielding (through the use of conductive plastics). The first application of this technology is a high performance optical transceiver package for the growing FDDI market (125 MB/s). With a duplex MIC connector, this package conforms to an industry standard outline and pinout. The optical transceiver easily meets full FDDI specifications. The design integrates an LED, PIN, transmitter IC, receiver IC and two capacitors in a single, overmolded package.
