To facilitate the fabrication of highly (111)-oriented surface of nt-Cu, Cu first process was chosen. In contrast to damascene Cu process, Cu first process changed the sequences of dielectric coating and Cu electroplating processes. In this study, patterned nt-Cu was plated first, and then dielectric was added in the process before or after chemical mechanical planarization (CMP). Low-temperature polyimide (PI) and non-conductive paste (NCP) were used to conduct two kinds of processes of hybrid bonding. If PI was coated and partially cured on a patterned wafer before CMP, co-planarization of nt-Cu/PI should be done afterwards to fabricate Cu/PI structure. The Cu/PI hybrid bonding can be achieved at 200 °C for 30 min. If a patterned wafer was planarized firstly, NCP was dropped on the samples and bonding process can be carried out at 180 °C for 2 h. This process was denoted as Cu + NCP hybrid bonding. The above two methods of hybrid bonding could be achieved under 250 °C, and might be the solutions for hybrid bonding technology with low thermal budget.","PeriodicalId":351817,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 71st Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123353200","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}

{"title":"Reliability of Printed Microwave Electronics","authors":"S. Neermann, J. Franke, M. Sippel, K. Lomakin, G. Gold","doi":"10.1109/ECTC32696.2021.00283","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ECTC32696.2021.00283","url":null,"abstract":"In recent years, the focus of research and industry in the field of printed electronics has been primarily on challenges relating to process improvements like resolution and process stability or material improvements. In contrast, environmental simulation on-tests such as temperature shock tests or humidity-heat tests and their effects on electrical and mechanical properties as well as the high frequency (HF) properties of printed structures have hardly been considered so far. However, such environmental requirements for electronic components are particularly important for reliable use in all areas of printed electronics. In this paper, environmental simulation tests on printed conductive structures were therefore carried out and their effects on the electrical conductivity and microwave frequency properties were measured, analyzed and evaluated. The common environmental simulation test methods as well as their purpose and implementation variants are examined in detail for this purpose. Based on these fundamentals, first of all the selected substrate material RO4350B is printed with a conductive silver paste according to microwave frequency technical specifications using a dispensing printing process and sintered according to the manufacturers specifications. The substrate material has a relative permittivity $varepsilon_{r}=3.48$ on which the geometry of the additively produced structures depends. To achieve the required characteristic impedance $Z_{L}approx 50 Omega$, a width of $1080 mumathrm{m}$ must be reached. The printed samples are then subjected to various environmental simulation tests and examined using various measurement procedures. For the long-term reliability tests, the temperature shock test between −40°C and 140 °C for 1000 cycles, the humidity-heat test with 85°C and 85% relative humidity for 1000 h and the vibration test were selected according to DIN EN 60068. The evaluation methods are to focus on the effects of the environmental simulation tests on electrical and mechanical properties as well as the influence on the high-frequency properties. The conductivity is measured by means of four-wire measurement. A comparison was made of the electrical conductivity in the sintered state, during the reliability tests and at the end of the tests. The samples in the thermal shock test were examined after 250 cycles, 500 cycles, 750 cycles and 1000 cycles to make premature failures of the samples visible. In the moisture-heat test the samples were taken and examined after 500 h and 1000 h. The detection of defects and cracks is carried out using optical control. To determine the high-frequency characteristics, a 2-port measurement of the S-parameters up to 12 GHz was performed. The insertion loss without impact from the transitions was determined using a multi-line method. It can be summarized that the reliability tests have no significant influence on the insertion loss of the printed samples compared to the sintered references.

The solder joints are realized by thermal compression bonding technique and the assemblies are characterized by means of electrical measurements of daisy chains and kelvin structures formed by the connection of the two chips. Flip chip interconnects based on two solder composite solutions (CNFs/SnAg and CNFs/SAC305) are analyzed in terms of electrical resistance, and different growth conditions for the CNFs and a post-growth treatment have been tested.

However, the thermal mismatch between a copper via and glass causes reliability issues, such as glass and TGV cracking, copper via protrusion, and copper via sliding and delamination. This study investigated the copper and glass (Corning® HPFS® Fused Silica) interaction in TGV during thermal cycling. Optical profilometry was used to measure the copper via protrusion during thermal cycling. The TGV was heated up from room temperature (RT) 23°C to 400°C and then cooled to RT. An irreversible copper protrusion height was recorded at different temperatures. Furthermore, in-plane deformation of the glass caused by thermal mismatch is another reliability concern. Thus, two-dimensional digital image correlation (2D DIC) was applied to measure the in-plane deformation of the HPFS glass near the TGV during thermal cycling. The TGV sample was heated to 400°C from RT by a hotplate, and then the sample was cooled to RT using liquid nitrogen. The in-plane displacement of HPFS glass reached its maximum around 250°C, then it started to decrease because of the copper protrusion and copper material change at elevated temperatures.","PeriodicalId":351817,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 71st Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121110557","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}

And technical point of view, low stress bonding is required. A low temperature bonding using Sn-Bi solder is candidate technique to solve these problems. In this report, improving the reliability of electro-migration at flip chip interconnect in Sn-Bi solder, which is a low-temperature solder, are focused. A combination of six types of Sn-Bi solder and surface finish of interposer pad were studied, these are, combination of Sn30wt.%Bi (Sn30Bi) solder, Sn57wt.%Bi (Sn57Bi) solder, electroless Ni/Au on Cu pad and Ni/Pd/ Au on Cu pad. The effects of Bi concentration, trace element and inter-metallic compounds formation on electromigration resistivity were evaluated. The current density of 40 kA/cm2 was applied at 125 degrees C. Analysis of the microstructure and crystal orientation of the interconnected bumps were performed in all combinations by electron backscatter diffraction and electron probe microanalyzer. Mean time to failure of Sn57Bi/NiAu(thick), that of Sn30Bi/NiAu(thick) and that of Sn30Bi/NiPdAu were19, 141 and 600 hours, respectively. And maximum resistance increases from initial of Sn57Bi/NiAu(thick), that of Sn30Bi/NiAu(thick), Sn30Bi/NiPdAu were 60.6%, 19.5%, 13.2% after 2500 hours. Reducing the total amount of Au and Pd atoms in the solder can delay increase of resistance after current stressing. In cases of NiAu(thick) and NiAu(thin) pads, two types of failure mode were observed after current stressing. One was growth of large (Cu, Ni)6Sn5 with thick Ni(P rich) layer. The other was the mode in which (Cu, Ni) 6Sn5 hardly grow and unreacted Sn layer remains. In case of c-axis of the beta-Sn grain aligned with the electron flow, Ni diffusion from Ni pad to the solder was accelerated. On the other hand, in the case of NiPdAu pad, only one failure mode was observed after current stressing. It is a mode in which the unreacted Sn layer remains. Even if c-axis of the beta-Sn grain aligned with the electron flow, Ni diffusion from Ni pad was not observed. Focusing on the intermetallic compounds (IMCs) formed on the interposer pad after 10% resistance change, in cases of NiAu(thick) and NiAu(thin) pads, un-uniform and needle-type (Cu, Ni) 6Sn5 were formed. Large Ni diffusion from their grain boundary into IMCs were observed after current stressing. On the other hand, in the case of NiPdAu pad, thin (Ni, Cu)3Sn4 and uniform and dense scallop-type (Cu, Ni)6Sn5 were formed after 10% resistance change. They were still stabled after current stressing. The significant increase in resistance in the early stage is influenced by Bi concentration in solder. And Au atoms play a role of accelerating diffusion and increase in resistance at early stage on electro-migration test. Dense scallop-type (Cu, Ni)6Sn5 layer on Ni pad showed as an effective barrier diffusion of Cu or Ni. It was found that if a uniform and dense IMCs were formed on the interpose","PeriodicalId":351817,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 71st Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121781348","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}
