The interposer is wirebonded to a Kyocera CPGA (Ceramic pin grid array) carrier for signal routing. As low temperature is favorable for ion trap chips, the material selection has to be done carefully in the present paper. Two kinds of materials, i.e., device passivation materials and die attach materials, are simulated and tested by the experiment. In the mechanical simulation, HD-4100 and HD8930 has lower mechanical stress. However, the short loop test reveals that almost all the bumps are detached from HD-4100 material and there are lots of unknown whiskers are founded after the samples are tested at 17K for 1 hour. Hence, SiO2 is still the first choice as passivation material in our process. For die attach materials, two kinds of material are evaluated in our experiment.","PeriodicalId":360239,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 20th Electronics Packaging Technology Conference (EPTC)","volume":"33 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":"128129520","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}

However, reliable sensors working at such high temperature are still not sufficiently developed. Mainly, developing a high temperature stable package imposes new challenges due to thermal cross-sensitivity and temperature induced stresses. Other major issues are to identify stable materials for high temperatures and stress-tolerant sensor mounting techniques. This research work focuses on the implementation of a stress-tolerant pressure sensor design for applications up to $500 ^{circ}C$: A micro strain gauge is deposited and patterned on a Langasite (LGS) crystal. It is attached to a ceramic substrate Al2O3 like a cantilever by flip-chip interconnection and glass solder underfill. The flip-chip bonding is done using gold stud bumps. The ceramic substrate has a membrane structure which is fabricated by ultrasonic machining. The deflection of the deforming membrane will be transferred pointwise to the free end of the crystal inside the package. The strain induced on the cantilever is measured by the change of resistance of a microstrain gauge. This special design concept aims at the elimination of thermal stresses between membrane and sensing device, which could induce cross-sensitivity. In this paper, processes to develop the complete assembly are presented including the choice of materials and fabrication methodology for individual parts. The resulting sensor package is stable for operations up to $500 ^{circ}C$.","PeriodicalId":360239,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 20th Electronics Packaging Technology Conference (EPTC)","volume":"61 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113977242","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}

Cu wire is good for packaging cost saving to current semiconductor industry, but it may also create quality and reliability issues. Since Cu is much harder and stiffer material than Au, it may require a greater force and USG power to insure good bonding to pad, and a larger bond force and USG power in turn increases the risk of ILD crack during the bonding process. The wafer tech in this study is CMOS40nm, Al thickness is 28KA, with 53um pad opening. The ILD crack mechanism which is discussed in this paper is different. The failure mode during ATE test is leakage failure. After de-cap and cratering test, there is no cratering / damage on failed pad under microscope check. FIB was performed on failed pad and confirmed the damage between Metal 2 and Metal 3, and no damage on top metal. The link between IV curve trace and ILD crack was studied. The root cause of the ILD crack was studied, material and machine variation were also take into consideration. Parameter optimization DOE was done. Key wire bond parameters include the initial force, USG power etc. The wire pull, ball shear, IMC, Al remnant etc. are key response. The result shows that lower USG and higher initial force can get better wire bond performance. The die was packaged into a MAPBGA package. Electrical test was performed on the assembled parts at T0, post MSL3/260degree C, post 264h UHST $(110 ^{circ}mathrm{C} /85$%RH), and post TC700cycles ($- 55 ^{circ}mathrm{C}$ to $150 ^{circ}mathrm{C})$. All units post stress clean passed without any failure. The overall leakage failure rate at ATE test is reduced.","PeriodicalId":360239,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 20th Electronics Packaging Technology Conference (EPTC)","volume":"1 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":"129197770","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}
