By using the factorial analysis, the critical electrical parameters could be clearly list down and optimized in the pre-design analysis. This methodology could be usefully applied in the electrical physical constraint setup and budget control on the design phase.

This technology utilizes fluxless soldering within an adhesive matrix on metal electrodes combined with room temperature ultrasonic (U/S) ACF bonding technique advantages. According to the experimental results, the temperature of the solder ACF joints showed rapid heating rates up to 400 °C/s and peak values above 250°C by applying ultrasonic vibration. The ACF temperature could be precisely controlled ranging from 75°C to 260°C by adjusting U/S vibration amplitudes from 4 um to 13 um. At above the melting temperatures of solder particles, U/S bonded solder ACF joints showed higher than 80% soldering ratios and no void formation with optimized U/S parameters. The soldering ratio at the solder ACF joints increased as the ACF temperature increased and it was presumably due to the viscosity decrease of the ACF adhesive matrix. On the other hand, thermocompression (T/C) bonded solder ACF joints showed poor soldering ratios lower than 30% and severe void formation at above 200°C. At the same time, U/S bonded solder ACF joints showed 30% reduced electrical contact resistances and twice better reliability in an unbiased autoclave test (121°C, 2 atm, 100%RH) compared with conventional ACF joints. Significance of this result is that fluxless solder joining and adhesive bonding can be simultaneously achieved within 5 seconds by using solder ACFs combined with the room temperature U/S bonding technique.","PeriodicalId":429629,"journal":{"name":"2010 Proceedings 60th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126585163","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}

Such failures typically are not detected until electrical testing is performed at the end of the process, making it challenging to identify where and how such damages could occur. While process steps are designed to apply the lowest force possible on components, excessive load can be introduced by unexpected events such as machine malfunction or accidental external impact. For over-molded packages, particularly for packages with a large die and thin mold cap thickness, protection for such abnormal impact is reduced and even low levels of force can induce damage to the silicon. In this work, impact test is performed on two types of over-molded packages that have different die and package geometries. External load is applied on the top of the packages through the drop of a probe from different heights. The damages induced in the silicon are evaluated with ultrasonic scan and cross-section. The results from these analytical steps will help identify the threshold force for the die crack failures. A finite element model is constructed to simulate the impact test for one of the packages. The time-history of the load is analyzed and the maximum stress levels in the silicon for the different drop heights are compared. Two different mold cap thicknesses are also simulated. By comparing the stress levels from the model and the real-life testing results, we are able to obtain general guidelines for the maximal impact allowed for the package investigated in this study and provide references for analysis of future failures.","PeriodicalId":429629,"journal":{"name":"2010 Proceedings 60th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130206608","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}

Nevertheless, Ag bonding wires have not been applied to devices due to interface corrosion problems between the Ag wire and Al pad during humidity reliability tests, such as the PCT (Pressure Cooker Test). As the technology for alloying Pd element in Ag wire has developed recently, the corrosive failure problem at the interface in the PCT has been improved significantly. This study examined the behavior of IMCs(intermetallic compounds) and interface corrosion between an Ag wire and Al metallization under humidity conditions (100%RH, 121'C). The chemical compositions of the Ag wires tested were pure Ag, Ag — 1wt%Pd and Ag-3%Pd. These wires are bonded to Al and noble metal(Au, Pd) metallization using a thermo-sonic bonder. The interfaces were characterized by FIB(Focused ion beam), HRTEM (High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscope) and EDS (Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy) The findings show that, (1) the interfacial reliability between the Ag wire and Ag metallization was improved considerably. The interface corrosion was suppressed significantly as the Pd content was increased. (2) Ag wires on a noble metal(Au, Pd) pad have stable reliability in PCT.","PeriodicalId":429629,"journal":{"name":"2010 Proceedings 60th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123012705","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}

The adhesion strength was measured and the failure mode was categorized in each test condition. Next, the maximum applied force in ball pull test was used for loading condition in finite element analysis to calculate the interfacial fracture toughness at the corresponding fracture location. The effect of parameters on interfacial reliability was shown by interfacial fracture toughness, and it was compared with the drop life of boardlevel reliability test to investigate the correlation.

As the use of Pb free solder is legislated today, it is vital to understand the impact of reflow process conditions on the formation of the flip chip solder joint, so that the assembly process of the flip chip can be better controlled. This paper introduces a comprehensive experimental study on the impact of Pb free reflow profile parameters towards flip chip on silicon assembly solder joint formation characteristics as well as the reliability performance. The reflow parameters studied include the soak time, peak temperature and time above liquidus. Three levels of each reflow parameter are investigated. The Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is used for Design of Experiment (DOE) to explore the quadratic effect of the investigated parameters. Results studied include the package assembly yield, package shear strength, intermetallic compound thickness as well as the package reliability performance. Study results show that the fine pitch flip chip on silicon package has a wide reflow process window to achieve 100% yield, if reflowed in a Nitrogen environment. Yield loss was found when the packages are reflowed in air. With the fifteen reflow profiles studied, it was found that the reflow parameters are not significant in terms of the package shear strength. For the intermetallic compound thickness, it was found that the time above liquidus is a significant factor, with a 99.9% confidence level. No statistical difference was found among packages assembled under different reflow conditions up to 2500 liquid to liquid thermal shock reliability testing.","PeriodicalId":429629,"journal":{"name":"2010 Proceedings 60th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129289413","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}
