Relevant material properties (time and temperature dependent viscosity, contact angles to relevant surfaces, surface tension) have been measured and fit into numerical models as input for CFD modelling tool. First, a simple flow test vehicle (glass slide) has been modelled and compared with flow time measurements. It can be stated that the simulation is in very good agreement with experiments. This was the prerequisite for the following modelling of a flip chip. A variation of geometry parameters (e.g. stand-off, bump pitch) as well as process parameters (e.g. dispense pattern, needle velocity) have been modelled. Additionally, the impact of these parameters has been studied experimentally. Again, modelling results are in very good agreement with experimental results. Thus, modelling of underfill flow has been established as tool for optimisation of underfill parameters and prediction of process robustness.","PeriodicalId":436133,"journal":{"name":"Polytronic 2005 - 5th International Conference on Polymers and Adhesives in Microelectronics and Photonics","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129928726","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}

Polymer electronic is expected to be a promising technology for low-cost and large-area electronic systems, which can not be addressed by traditional chip technology. Solutions of polymer or polymer based pastes offer advantages due to their easy processing possibilities which give the opportunity to coat and pattern them like a printing ink. Cost requirements of polymer electronic imply that for manufacturing also very cost-effective processes must be used. Hence reel-to-reel manufacturing with endless substrates of foil is a key technology to fulfill the challenging cost demands of cheap flexible systems. Within this work a process for manufacturing integrated circuits based on solution processed polymer semiconductors has been developed. Basis is a reel-to-reel working photolithographic patterning process for metallized foils, which is used to fabricate the basic source-drain layer with high resolution. By two subsequent lacquering and three screen printing steps polymer field effect transistors are integrated to circuits.","PeriodicalId":436133,"journal":{"name":"Polytronic 2005 - 5th International Conference on Polymers and Adhesives in Microelectronics and Photonics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131221136","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}

This structure fulfills the requirements for high integration and high density, while at the same time, would expect to be poor thermal performance because of the encapsulation on the chip. Thermal modeling here aims to give the first insight to characterize the thermal performance for such structure under steady and transient condition. It shows that substrates with good thermal conductivity help to keep the temperature on the chip at a reasonable level. For poorly conductive substrates, heat only conduct through copper tracks. Epoxy around the chip also plays an important role when the thermal conductivity of the substrate is good but is of less importance when the substrate has poor conductivity. The thickness of copper had large influence on the thermal resistance, while the thickness of chip does not effect at all. The thermal resistance is reduced considerably when the air velocity is increased.","PeriodicalId":436133,"journal":{"name":"Polytronic 2005 - 5th International Conference on Polymers and Adhesives in Microelectronics and Photonics","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121185114","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 his study, ionic-migration resistance and the contact resistance of the ICA containing Ag-Sn alloy conductive fillers were evaluated. It was found that ionic-migration resistance depended on the Ag-Sn ratio and that Ag-Sn alloys containing 25 to 75 mol% of Sn had excellent ionic-migration resistance though their contact resistance was rather high, compared with silver. For the compatibility of the ionic-migration resistance with lower contact resistance, and to understand the effect of a Sn-Bi alloy powder mixture, several additives and polymer matrixes were also studied. New ICAs including these additives and a conventional ICA (as reference) were evaluated for SMT. Chip components with Sn plated terminations for stability in both contact resistance and adhesion strength were monitored during reliability tests. From the test results, it can be concluded that the new ICA is a potential material for SMT applications. Moreover, if mount loading was not sufficient and/or mount alignment was not suitable, initial contact resistance was unstable. Therefore, we selected materials with reduction effect and we dereased the Sn ratio as low as we could. The filler content rate was also increased. As a result the loading dependence was decreased. We were sucessful in keeping contact resistance more stable while maintaining good ionic-migration resistance.","PeriodicalId":436133,"journal":{"name":"Polytronic 2005 - 5th International Conference on Polymers and Adhesives in Microelectronics and Photonics","volume":"138 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115092526","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 improved functionality and to reduce the number of interconnections it is desirable to place the electronic control units (ECUs) as close as possible to the sensors and actuators they interact with, and they can increasingly be found mounted on engine, transmission and chassis components. The electronics are therefore exposed to high/low temperatures, high humidity, vibration and corrosive fluids. In order to protect the electronics and maintain reliability in safety critical areas, great lengths are taken to mount the devices in ways that will prevent the ingress of moisture, cushion shocks and dissipate heat. Potting of electrical devices with thermosetting polymers has been a commonplace method to install a protective layer over the circuit assemblies, which are often mounted in separate boxes within the vehicle. However, with the drive to reduce vehicle weight and increase recyclability, there has been much interest in the use of overmoulding with thermoplastic polymers, not only to provide protection, but to enable the electronics to be mounted into a structural component of the vehicle thereby saving space and weight and eliminating a level of packaging. While this has been shown to be a practical way forward in terms of reliability, the recyclability of the thermoplastic polymer is compromised by the intermixed electronics that are hard to separate economically.","PeriodicalId":436133,"journal":{"name":"Polytronic 2005 - 5th International Conference on Polymers and Adhesives in Microelectronics and Photonics","volume":"257 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133809992","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}
