NDSU has been actively engaged in addressing this opportunity from the following two perspectives: 1) developing an appreciation of the basic physics that dominate aerosol beam deposition toward engineering a robust method that allows the realization of deposited features with sub-5 μm resolution; and, 2) developing an understanding of the mechanistic transformations of silane-based precursor inks toward the formation of electronic materials at atmospheric-pressure. In this paper, we will briefly discuss the genesis of a new materials deposition method termed collimated aerosol beam direct-write (CAB-DW) where precision linewidth control has been realized using a combined theoretical/experimental approach. Next, we will discuss progress using Si6H12 (cyclohexasilane-a liquid silane) as a precursor for solution-processed diodes and transistors. Finally, we demonstrate the ability to CAB-DW Si6H12-based precursor inks for printing Si-based semiconductors.","PeriodicalId":55015,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Advanced Packaging","volume":"33 1","pages":"421-427"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1109/TADVP.2009.2038615","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"62396357","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 frequency-domain layered finite element method represents a 3-D layered system by a 2-D layered system, and further by a single-layered one. The reduced system matrix is generally denser than the original sparse matrix. In this paper, we show that 1) the dense matrix-vector multiplication can be performed in linear complexity; in addition, the reduction cost can be bypassed, 2) an effective preconditioner can be developed to converge the iterative solution of the reduced system matrix in a small number of iterations, and 3) the preconditioner can be solved in linear complexity. As a result, the reduced system matrix can be solved efficiently. The algorithms are rigorous without making any approximation. They apply to any arbitrarily-shaped multilayer structure.

The Lax-Friedrichs difference scheme for sensitivity analysis of both uniform and nonuniform transmission lines is derived. Based on this scheme, a method for analyzing multiconductor transmission line sensitivity, which does not need to be decoupled, is presented by combining with matrix operations. Using numerical experiments, the proposed method is compared with the characteristic method and the fast Fourier transform approach. With the presented method, the sensitivity of a nonlinear circuit including nonuniform multiconductor transmission lines is analyzed and the results are verified by the HSPICE perturbation method. The proposed method can be applied to either linear or nonlinear circuits, which include lossy nonuniform multiconductor transmission lines, and is proved to be efficient.","PeriodicalId":55015,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Advanced Packaging","volume":"33 1","pages":"492-497"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1109/TADVP.2009.2035439","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"62395945","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}

A reliable method is the cavity model which assumes small spacing between power and ground planes. Designers often make the proper tradeoffs between conflicting design requirements using optimization techniques, to obtain the best possible performance. To this aim, sensitivity information with respect to power-bus parameters are required by optimizers which employ gradient-based techniques and need the knowledge of sensitivities of the output responses. In this paper, the sensitivity analysis of power-bus structures is presented. Relying on the cavity model, voltage sensitivity is computed in a rational function form or rational polynomial form leading to a time-domain macromodel which can be efficiently interfaced with linear and nonlinear terminations or Spice-like simulators.

Copper interconnects with low-k dielectric material improve the performance of ICs by reducing interconnect the RC delay, the cross talk between the adjacent metal lines and the power loss. However, the packaging of Cu/low-k IC device is a challenge for the packaging industry to integrate these devices without any failure during assembly and reliability. The current work presents, 1) the finite element model (FEM) based parametric study on Cu/low-K wafer level package (WLP) reliability and stresses on Cu/low-K layers, and 2) experimental validation of WLP reliability by fabricating the test chips. FEM modeling and simulation results have shown that high aspect ratio interconnects, thinner die, and thinner printed circuit board can reduce the stress in low-k layer and enhance the board level interconnect reliability. Test chip of 7 mm ? 7 mm size is designed with 128 input/output (I/O) off-chip interconnects at 300-?m pitch in two depopulated rows using redistribution layers (RDL). Test chips are fabricated on 200-mm-diameter wafer with blanket black diamond (BD) low-K layers structure. Two different Pb free solder interconnects, thick copper column of 100 ?m height with SnAg solder cap and SnAg solder bump of 150 ?m height with 5-?m-thick copper under bump metallurgy (UBM), are fabricated. The Cu/low-K test chips are assembled onto a two layer high glass transition temperature (Tg) FR-4 substrate using two different types of no-flow underfills (NFU) to build the test vehicles and assembled test vehicles are subjected to various JEDEC standard reliability tests, and related failure analysis is carried out. Cu/low-k WLP with copper column interconnects without no-flow underfill passed 1000 h high-temperature storage (HTS) test, and passed the JEDEC drop test with no-flow underfill. Thin die test vehicles of Cu column interconnects with no-flow underfill and extra solder shown better thermal cycling (TC) performance and the board level TC performance can be improved further using thicker RDL.","PeriodicalId":55015,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Advanced Packaging","volume":"33 1","pages":"377-388"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1109/TADVP.2010.2043253","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"62396532","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 developed methodology combines the Kawamura and Kuwahara technique-based finite difference method (FDM) and the robustness of volume-tracking (VOF) method to solve the two-phase flow field around the complex arrangement of microchips in a cavity. The Castro-Macosko rheology model with Arrhenius temperature dependence is adopted in the viscosity model.
