It plays a significant role on package performance and reliability. In this paper, a fracture mechanics approach is utilized to evaluate the impact of interface delamination on package reliability. Interface cracks are mixed mode cracks with both mode I (opening mode) and mode II (shear mode) components. To characterize the interfaces in electronic packages, it is essential to define the interfacial toughness as a function of different mode mixity, or loading phase angle. In this paper, interface fracture mechanics is incorporated into finite element analysis to determine the critical interface fracture parameters. The proposed methodology is validated against analytical solutions. A Flip-Chip PBGA package with underfill delamination is studied. The effect of temperature, initial delamination length, package geometry and materials on the fracture parameters is evaluated.","PeriodicalId":410140,"journal":{"name":"2000 Proceedings. 50th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (Cat.

Two major problems were encountered with this design and the bonding process that affected both the assembly yield and reliability of the modules. One was, in the absence of flux, holding the chip in place on the bonding pads until the solder reflow had been difficult. This resulted non-wets and low assembly yield. The other problem was, fracture of the glass around and underneath the bonding pads during flip chip bonding and subsequent reliability tests. Incorporating \"donut hole\" structure in the bonding pads provided excellent tacking, as the solder deformed into these donut hole structures, and held the chip in place until the solder reflow. This dramatically improved the assembly yield. Covering the bonding pad edges with passivation, which modified the stress state around the bonding pads, eliminated the latter problem (fracture of glass).","PeriodicalId":410140,"journal":{"name":"2000 Proceedings. 50th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (Cat.

This process provides much better alignment accuracy and is capable of bumping finer pitch devices than stencil printing technology. Solder paste printing uses a screen printer similar to stencil printing and therefore exhibits better versatility of solder materials selection than the electroplating process. Cost modeling shows that the squeegee bump technology has a significant cost benefit over controlled collapse chip connection (C4) technology. This is because the C4 process has very low efficiency in labor and materials usage. Statistical process control data show an average bump height of 118/spl plusmn/3.5 /spl mu/m, and a maximum-to-minimum bump height range of 17 /spl mu/m over a 150 mm-diameter wafer have been produced repeatedly on test wafers with 210 /spl mu/m peripheral pitch. A 109.6/spl plusmn/1.3 /spl mu/m bump height on orthogonal array with 250 /spl mu/m pitch has been successfully demonstrated with greater than 90% die yield. Bump reliability has been studied using both multiple reflows and extended thermal/humidity storage procedures. No degradation of shear strength was observed after up to 10/spl times/ reflows and 1008 hours of a thermal/humidity stress environment. Bump reliability was also evaluated by assembling squeegee bumped dice on a plastic chip scale package (CSP). Liquid-to-liquid thermal shock cycling at a temperature range of -55/spl deg/C to +125/spl deg/C had a characteristic life of 2764 cycles with a 1st failure at 1050 cycles. No failures were observed after 432 hours of autoclave stress at 121/spl deg/C, 100%RH, 15 psig test condition.","PeriodicalId":410140,"journal":{"name":"2000 Proceedings. 50th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (Cat.

He, Nduka Nnamdi (Ndy) Ekere","doi":"10.1109/ECTC.2000.853136","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ECTC.2000.853136","url":null,"abstract":"In the assembly of Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) using Surface Mount Technology (SMT), solder paste is deposited on the bond pads of the PCBs using stencil/screen printing technique. The last few years have seen the development and introduction of new printing mechanism to meet the miniaturisation challenge of electronic products. The most notable is the development of new printing heads such as the ProFlow and the Rheometric Pumping Head. Unlike the traditional squeegee blade, in these new printing devices the solder paste is contained in a sealed pressurised chamber, and is released during the printing stroke via an opening as the printing head passes over the stencil apertures. The flow profile of the solder paste inside such a chamber plays a key role in determining the volume of solder paste deposited onto the PCB pads. In this paper we investigate the paste flow inside such a chamber and its influence on the aperture filling. Our results show that the paste does not vertically fill the apertures, but has a horizontal velocity component in the printing direction. This horizontal velocity component will lead to insufficient filling of paste at the rear corner of the aperture. To counteract the influence of this undesirable velocity component, we propose to introduce a horizontal shaft perpendicular to the printing direction inside the chamber. During a printing stroke this shaft rotates inside the chamber in the printing direction and drives the paste near the bottom slot to flow against the printing direction. We present an analysis of the paste flow inside such a device and the nature of the aperture filling process. The main parameters that influence the paste flow are the diameter, the rotational speed and the position of the shaft. The key to obtaining sufficient and consistent paste deposits is to minimise the horizontal velocity component of the paste to ensure the paste fills into the aperture vertically, and to maximise the vertical velocity component of the paste to shorten the aperture filling time. The introduction of such a shaft is also expected to significantly reduce the pressure loading on the paste at the top of the chamber.","PeriodicalId":410140,"journal":{"name":"2000 Proceedings. 50th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (Cat.

The package uses polymeric repassivation and electrodeposited solder bumps connected by a unique conductor patterning method. As an alternative to the aluminum redistribution approach for converting wirebond designs to CSP, a low cost method was developed. Called single-mask redistribution (SMR), this process creates the solder bump and the redistribution line in a single patterning step. Solder is plated to an equal height on both the line and the bump pad and, during reflow, hydrostatic pressure causes the excess solder on the line to flow to the bump. The finished package resembles a common chip resistor. Reliability testing was used to optimize the bump design and the assembly methodologies. Field performance of more than 30 million packages has validated the test results.","PeriodicalId":410140,"journal":{"name":"2000 Proceedings. 50th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (Cat.

Then, MCM is a key technology to make these consumer products smaller, lighter and thinner. Area array packages such as BGA (ball grid array), CSP (chip scale package) are key components to reduce the occupied area.
