The dependance of electrical resistance on elastic strain, plastic deformation, and cyclic fatigue is examined. A type of spectroscopy for fatigue testing which measures the amplitude of the resistance change at harmonics of the fatigue cycling frequency is described. The spectroscopic method is shown to have the advantage of greater sensitivity, and of providing more information than conventional methods. An analytical frame work is developed, and recently published data for gull-wing leads and lap shear solder joints are examined using it. The cause for the limiting resistance fluctuations in these measurements is investigated. It is argued that after calibration, the method can be used to measure strain level, shorten fatigue tests, and reliably detect interconnect failures.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":344532,"journal":{"name":"1994 Proceedings. 44th Electronic Components and Technology Conference","volume":"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":"132668384","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 resistance measuring system had a noise level of less than one nano-ohm. An FFT analyzer was used to transform the time varying resistance to the frequency domain. Measurements were made of the average resistance (zero frequency amplitude), amplitude of the resistance change at the mechanical drive frequency, and the amplitudes of the resistance change at the second and third harmonics of the drive frequency. The average resistance and resistance amplitude at the drive frequency exhibited a systematic behavior as the specimens were cycled toward failure. Initially the average resistance increased, followed by a much stronger decrease, and lastly increased markedly as the specimen fractured. The decreasing resistance portion of this signature which occurs prior to mechanical failure (i.e. crack propagation) can be used to detect failure in solder joints much sooner than present techniques.<<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":"133647668","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}

Manually pigtailing such devices as single-mode laser diodes and modulators is very time consuming with poor quality control. The Photonics Program and the Engineering Research Division at LLNL are addressing several issues associated with automatically packaging OE devices. A fully automated system must include high-precision fiber alignment, fiber attachment techniques, in-situ quality control, and parts handling and feeding. This paper will present on-going work at LLNL in the areas of automated fiber alignment and fiber attachment. For the fiber alignment, we are building an automated fiber pigtailing machine (AFPM) which combines computer vision and object recognition algorithms with active feedback to perform sub-micron alignments of single-mode fibers to modulators and laser diodes. We expect to perform sub-micron alignments in less than five minutes with this technology. For fiber attachment, we are building various geometries of silicon microbenches which include onboard heaters to solder metal-coated fibers and other components in place; these designs are completely compatible with an automated process of OE packaging.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":344532,"journal":{"name":"1994 Proceedings. 44th Electronic Components and Technology Conference","volume":"48 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":"128823059","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 new package, called the LOC (Lead On Chip) structured package, is characterized by directly bonding the lead frame to the surface of the chip with a adhesive tape. This technology requires some new type packaging materials. Adhesive tape is the key material used in the LOC structure package. We developed the polyimide siloxane as the adhesive for the LOC adhesive tape. The polyimide siloxane has several advantages for use in the LOC adhesive tape, namely, small amount of outgassing volatiles, low content of ionic impurities, low moisture absorption and significant bendability. Moreover, the glass transition temperature of polyimide siloxane adhesive can be controlled over a wide range from 100 to 220/spl deg/C by controlling the content of the component especially the silicone. The single layer adhesive tape which had no base film and was constructed only of the polyimide siloxane was manufactured by the casting method. This single layer structure can enhance the advantage of adhesive polyimide siloxane and reduce the problems due to the interface of adhesive and base film. Actually, the single layer structured LOC tape has the outstanding advantage of low moisture absorption, so can solve the problem of delamination which occurs at the various interfaces of LOC tape and the other materials in the DRAM package.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":344532,"journal":{"name":"1994 Proceedings. 44th Electronic Components and Technology Conference","volume":"259 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":"116220929","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}

Without stress testing, these weak products may often be shipped to customers causing early failures in the field. A candidate product for stress testing needs to get more business benefits to more than pay off the cost of stress testing. A business measure of the success of the stress testing program is the net benefit, which is the total benefit minus the total cost of the program. The optimum stress testing program maximizes this net benefit. A given unit of a product has a probability of encountering a maximum stress X during its product life. It also has a probability of possessing a product yield strength Y, which is the maximum stress the unit can survive without failure. While the strength distribution depends on the design and manufacture processes, the distribution of the maximum stress is determined by the customers' environment. A convenient picture is to construct the contour map of the joint probability distribution of X and Y. In this contour map, a unit falling in the YX region will not result in field failure. The effects of stress testing at a given maximum stress level, X/sup ST/, are shown by a dividing line on the product strength into stress test failure and stress test pass. The units in the contour map are then divided into four regions by the Y=X line and the X/sup ST/ line. The cost and benefits may now be evaluated for each region. Now the value of X/sup ST/ is a free parameter that determines the relative size of each region. The second free parameter is the fraction of units going through stress testing. These two parameters may be adjusted to maximize the net benefit of the stress testing program.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":344532,"journal":{"name":"1994 Proceedings. 44th Electronic Components and Technology Conference","volume":"14 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120904360","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 power and ground pads of the die can be wire bonded directly on separate internal rings to minimize the inductance. Measurements on a 28/spl times/28 mm, 208 lead EDQUAD show that the power dissipation is doubled to over 4 Watt/chip compared to an equivalent plastic QFP and, with an external heatsink attached, the package can dissipate up to 10 Watt/chip for most applications.
