Recently, impulse-based time-domain reflectometry (TDR) has gradually become a popular method to quickly localize a failure point in 2.5D/3D chip package with high resolution. However, it is still a big challenge to apply such TDR analysis for the defect characterization inside the die. In this work, a recursive modeling technique is proposed to enable the TDR analysis inside the die to the frontend-of-line (FEOL) interface.","PeriodicalId":360239,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 20th Electronics Packaging Technology Conference (EPTC)","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123867052","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 exploit the capability of the liquid cooling system, proper controller should be designed. This paper presents the design of model and controller for the liquid cooling system. First, the mathematical models for each individual component are derived from physical laws. Model parameters are determined by the performance curve. Based on the working point selection program and control parameter optimization process, the proportional-integration controller with feedforward path (PI-FF) is designed. Target tracking task and disturbance rejection task are used to evaluate the performance of the PI-FF controller. The results and simulations not only validate the capability of proposed control method, but also in-depth revealed the key physical bottleneck that prevent improving the response of the controller. This result suggests that heat transfer process from junction to the coolant should be as shot as possible, and therefore direct bonding the micro cooler to the chip could be the most efficient way to reduce their interface thickness.","PeriodicalId":360239,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 20th Electronics Packaging Technology Conference (EPTC)","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123060310","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}

Solder paste, as a common assembly material, plays the role to connect the components, dies and chips to the substrate to form one package. The dimension of components, die and chip have a big variation in one package, it needs a few different application process to complete the entire package assembly. A new water soluble solder paste (T7 powder) with good printing performance was developed, it can be applied in SiP through printing process to achieve the passive component attach, die attach and flip chip all in one process. The printing performance of a solder paste is critical to improve the production yield in System in Package (SiP). This research work studied the impact of powder type –Type 5, Type 6, Type 7 on the paste printing performance in fine pitch application, mainly on the paste volume deposition and consistency with small opening. The highlight of this paper is to present the excellent printing performance of the newly developed water soluble paste (T7 powder), which can print down to 50um stencil opening with consistent volume deposition and no bridging with line space down to 40um. The void, tombstone and solder bead performance were also tested with 01005 components under actual component attach simulation. The existence of void in solder joint would affect the thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity of the device and hence, minimizing the void in solder joint is critical to improve the reliability of the whole package. This research work also studied on how to reduce void by adjusting reflow profile and applying vacuum during reflow, especially with flip chip and bigger die sizes.","PeriodicalId":360239,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 20th Electronics Packaging Technology Conference (EPTC)","volume":"90 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115664814","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 is well known that discrete radio frequency (RF) front-end circuits are composed of MLCCs and chip inductors in many electronic products. Inserting a high permittivity material to replace decoupling capacitors is an effective method. Another way to lessen the quantity of MLCCs is embedding an integrated RF front-end circuit instead of MLCCs, such as a balun, filter or duplexer. In this study, an integrated lattice balun was designed for DCS (digital cellular system) 1800 MHz. The simulation results show that the designed balun achieves a return loss $< -23$ dB, an insertion loss $gt -0.25$ dB, a phase deviation form $180 circ$ to $182 circ$ and a magnitude deviation of less than 1.1 dB in the frequency range of DSC.","PeriodicalId":360239,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 20th Electronics Packaging Technology Conference (EPTC)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122678608","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}

For this reason a low cost humidity sensor system printed onto the substrate of a diaper with the novel organic conductive ink PEDOT:PSS (Poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythio-phene):Poly(styrene sulfonate)) was developed in previous work [1]. The novel material PEDOT:PSS is still expensive because of rare use in research and market demand. Therefore a way for optimization of the sensor is aimed to print the sensor with less material, but at the same time with no loss of sensitivity. With this purpose, two theoretical models are developed. An analytic model with geometrical based calculations and a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulation model, for deeper understanding of electric field effects with focus on the total capacitance of the sensor. To verify these theoretical models a characterization measurement of manufactured samples of previous work [1] is made, to obtain a comparison between every experimental method. For the theoretical models the necessary material parameters are characterized.","PeriodicalId":360239,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 20th Electronics Packaging Technology Conference (EPTC)","volume":"87 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124997535","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}
