Package cracks induced by interfacial delamination between the chip backside surface and the epoxy molding resin are a major failure mode in Lead-On-Chip (LOC) packages. This interfacial delamination is caused by contamination of the backside surface by the wafer tape adhesive. The physical and chemical parameters of the backside surface and tape adhesive which lead to interfacial delaminations in LOC packages are described along with a method to alleviate the problem. To investigate which adhesive attributes impacted interfacial delamination, wafer tape adhesive samples were prepared with a variety of different base polymers, oligomers, cross-linking agents, initiative agents, and additive agents. The degree and type of backside contamination left by these various adhesives was determined with scanning electron microscope (SEM) and scanning acoustic tomography (SAT) techniques. The adhesive and the chip backside surfaces were characterised with viscoelastic, particle count, water contact angle, and atomic force microscope (AFM) measurements.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":344532,"journal":{"name":"1994 Proceedings. 44th Electronic Components and Technology Conference","volume":"187 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":"133445167","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}

Delaminations can result in reduced thermal cycling life performance or provide for a pathway for the ingress of chemicals and contaminates. The effects that moisture/reflow induced delaminations can have on the thermal performance of plastic packaged ICs are not entirely understood. In this paper, the thermal performance of moisture/reflow delaminated ICs is reported. The effective sensitivity of the thermal performance as a result of the moisture/reflow induced delaminations was measured by experimental thermal resistance measurements (/spl theta//sub JA/) and compared to theoretical calculations based on Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Both 3-D and 2-D FEA models were developed for predictive responses which gave excellent correlation to the experimental measurements. The results showed that interfacial delaminations can cause a measurable increase in /spl theta//sub JA/. The magnitude of the increase is found to be proportional to the power consumption of the device and dependent on the delamination gap thickness. Expected reliability degradation as a result of die temperature rise from the interfacial delaminations is most significant for plastic packaged devices of power ratings greater than about 1 W.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":344532,"journal":{"name":"1994 Proceedings. 44th Electronic Components and Technology Conference","volume":"38 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":"130563696","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}

In spite of the fact that it is a significant reduction relative to conventional TSOPs (1.0 mm thick), the inner leads of the lead frame can be bonded to the electrodes on the chip with gold wire as with a conventional plastic package. It is feasible since the lead that supports the chip through insulating tape (support lead) is placed on the top side of the chip. Establishing molding technology and overcoming problems such as warping of the package or chip during assembly were key points in the development of the UTSOP. The UTSOP retains the same level of reliability as a TSOP.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":344532,"journal":{"name":"1994 Proceedings. 44th Electronic Components and Technology Conference","volume":"30 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":"116810289","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}

Combining such basic regions, complex geometries like stacked structures can be treated. The Laplacian equation describing the steady state heat flux is solved efficiently in three dimensions using a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm. By the use of an iterative procedure handling of inhomogeneous, nonlinear boundary conditions on the top and bottom side of the geometry and modeling complex geometries by matching the solution at the interface of two or more basic blocks is possible. This allows to take into account boundary conditions calculated by the analytical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations describing convection and the Stefan Boltzmann law describing radiation. Experimental studies using infrared thermography, thermal sensors and laser doppler velocimetry were carried out. By measurement of the temperature distribution and the flow field it is shown, that the simultaneous solution of the heat flux in the solid structure and the heat-transfer by boundary approximation improves the accuracy of temperature computation and expands the application range of the Fourier method. It is shown, that parallel placed substrates with bare chips can be handled with high accuracy by the proposed model for laminar flow. The model gives good results for mountings up to 0.6 mm height. For low fluid velocities up to 1 m/s and natural convection the model works also for higher mountings (e.g. SMD). Further applications demonstrate the accuracy and applicability of the presented program. The simple model-creation and the numerical efficiency enables the handling of problems with a high number of components and high aspect ratios between the components and the board. Analytical models describing heat dissipation in special applications can be easily incorporated for simultaneous solution.<<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":"130318678","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 the protection for the chip that a package body affords however, reduced mechanical robustness and a decrease in reliability performance are potential concerns. In addition, the inherent thermal mismatch between the chip and substrate, particularly with an organic printed circuit board, will produce an accumulation of stress in the solder joints under normal operating conditions that can result in relatively premature failures. Coupling the chip and substrate together with an encapsulation material under the chip face has successfully overcome these mechanical and reliability issues. However, the success of the encapsulation is dependent on many factors. Among these are the encapsulant's material properties, and its compatibility with the chip and substrate surfaces. Thus, the selection of the basic materials to be used in the Flip Chip on Board (FCOB) assembly are interrelated and critical to the subsequent performance of the completed assembly.<<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":"130109369","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 main feature of the structure is contact of leadframes onto the active chip area with adhesive sandwiched in between. Therefore, the design concept of LOC greatly depends on the characteristics of the adhesive layer. The key technologies for LOC development are summarized as: 1. To lessen damage on chip during die-attach and wire bonding; 2. To secure sufficient wire bendability above the organic adhesive; and 3. To reduce package crack rate during the solder reflowing process. We have developed a new adhesive tape which is composed of single-layer thermoplastic polyimide siloxanes. Due to the absence of a base film, the single layer adhesive can be fabricated to any desirable thickness. During its softening process, the thick adhesive film encloses dust that, otherwise, could damage the chip surface. These properties, by providing a large Young's modulus of the film at high temperature and contamination-free lead surface, enable us to secure sufficient lead-wire bendability. The other materialistic advantage of the adhesive is its low moisture absorption. The low moisture absorption results in high resistance against package crack caused by the solder reflowing process. In this paper, we describe how we have selected the LOC adhesive tape through the evaluations of the assembly process and have successfully developed a highly productive and reliable memory package with LOC structure.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":344532,"journal":{"name":"1994 Proceedings. 44th Electronic Components and Technology Conference","volume":"10 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":"129480437","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}
