The samples were prepared by printing $5 mu mathrm{m} -$ to $10 mu mathrm{m} -$ thin piezoresistive polymer-based Carbon paste on a base polymer patch, also called the adhesive film. The first samples have the traces embedded in between two base adhesive films. The sensitivity of the samples was characterized by using a pressure chamber/jig with 4 cm hole to mimic an extravasation by bump formation when pumped with compressed dry air (CDA) that is connected to a 15 psi source. The sensitivity value obtained was 20% up to 23% at 0.16 psi. After optimization of the curing temperature of the adhesive film and piezoresistive polymer-based Carbon traces, ex-vivo test was conducted with the prototype sample placed on the cannulation site of a pork front hock. At 2 ml and 5 ml infused fluid, the sensitivity obtained is only 1.1% and 2.44%, respectively. The overall prototype dimension of all samples is 6 × 7 cm2. The second samples were prepared with narrower trace width and spacing than the first samples. Sensitivity obtained from the second sample at 0.16 psi increased to 50% up to 79%. The third samples were prepared with the same narrow trace with as the second sample, but this time the piezoresistive polymer-based traces were not embedded in two adhesive films, making the sample a single layer patch only. Sensitivity obtained at 0.16 psi increased further to 140% up to 200%. The 0.16 psi readout is based on previous data that at this pressure induced in the 4 mm hole where the adhesive film is placed over, it translates to 3mm bump height at 2ml infused volume on the skin. The results suggest a strong potential in the development of the piezoresistive polymer-based Carbon traces for flexible non-invasive sensor patch for early extravasation detection.","PeriodicalId":360239,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 20th Electronics Packaging Technology Conference (EPTC)","volume":"13 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":"121931231","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 this study, two positive tone photo definable polymer dielectric (PD) materials and one positive tone photo resist (PR) have been evaluated for process ability in terms of coating uniformity and pattern resolution capability. A special test structures lay out with different size vias and line traces of various Line Width/ Line Space (LW/LS) has been designed for these materials evaluation.

Different chemistries of epoxy-based mold compounds were successfully evaluated through material analysis, assembly performance, package delamination performance, and reliability performance. Material analysis through material characterizations, stress index calculation, and die stress simulation suggested that EMC-B has the lowest risk of package delamination and solder joint degradation due to its low stress properties. Package delamination and solder joint degradation performance proved that low stress mold compounds resulted to better mold adhesion and solder joint integrity than high stress mold compounds. EMC-B having the lowest stress induced on the die resulted to no delamination after assembly, minor delamination after thermal stress cycle and lowest solder joint degradation after thermal stress cycle. Rdson and dVsd performance after thermal stress cycle verified that solder joint degradation affects the thermal and electrical performance of the package. Overall, Power SO-8 package built using EMC-B resulted to good mold-to-die and mold-toclip adhesion, high solder joint integrity and stable thermal and electrical performance after thermal stress cycle.","PeriodicalId":360239,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 20th Electronics Packaging Technology Conference (EPTC)","volume":"35 9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113941447","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}

Chip-foil packages (also known as flexible interposers) fabricated by integrating ultra-thin silicon ICs onto or embedded into polymer foils comprising of metal interconnects (wiring lines, through hole via interconnects etc.) for powering up the system and transmission of data signals / IO commands are ideal candidates for FHE integration. The principal advantages of chip-foil packages over standard Surface Mount Device (SMD) components are their bend ability and conformability. However, the behavior of chip-foil packages under repeated bending must be analyzed in detail through extensive investigations to enable the transfer of the technology from research labs to industrial manufacturing platforms. Hence, we conducted two different types of bending tests to examine the repeated or dynamic bending reliability of the wiring lines and the via interconnects of the chip-foil packages. The experimental results highlight the need for design optimized dimensioning of the wiring lines and the via interconnects for manufacturing FHEs with high performance and good dynamic bending reliability. Such results complement the state-of-the-art information available regarding the electrical as well as mechanical reliability of chip-foil packages and are required as essential information for establishing guidelines for handling chip-foil packages during integration as well as for producing FHEs that are more reliable.","PeriodicalId":360239,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 20th Electronics Packaging Technology Conference (EPTC)","volume":"29 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":"130998976","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}

But the reliability of SAC305 solder joints under complex working conditions still requires to be carefully investigated. In this paper, the uniaxial tensile behavior of solder joint specimens with a diameter of 1.0 mm was investigated subjected to the strain rate of $10^{-4} mathrm{s}^{-1}$ under electric current density ranging from 1000 A/cm2 to 4000 A/cm2. In order to reveal the current stress effect under the mechanical-electrical coupled loadings, the uniaxial tensile properties of SAC305 solder joint specimens were measured by a multi-field loading system. In addition, the microstructure of the tensile specimens is observed by a scanning electron microscope. It was found that fracture mode changed from ductile fracture to the combination of brittle and ductile fracture when the current density raised from 1000A/cm2 to 2000A/cm2. And the fracture was more likely to happen near the interface when the current density is higher.","PeriodicalId":360239,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 20th Electronics Packaging Technology Conference (EPTC)","volume":"50 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":"130620468","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}
