Nickel microcone arrays (MCA) fabricated on the bonding pad was used as the under bump metallization (UBM). The bonding temperature is below the melting point of the solder. At certain temperature and pressure, the MCA inserted into the lead-free Sn-Ag-Cu solder bumps to achieve a good adhesion. The bonding of the joint is realized by the mechanical interlocking and the diffusion between the MCA and the solder. The nickel microcone arrays were prepared by directional electrodeposition (DEP) method on the Cu substrates in the solution with inorganic additives. And then hundreds of bumps were bonded on the substrates at different temperatures (150deg-210degC) and different bonding pressure (450, 560, 750 gf/p). Subsequently, ball shear testings were performed to evaluate the mechanical reliability and failure mode of the solder joints. After the shear testings, the microstructures of the fracture interfaces were investigated by SEM.","PeriodicalId":6324,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Electronic Packaging Technology & High Density Packaging","volume":"45 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91285981","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}

Both 200 mum and 150 mum pitch products have been qualified and are currently ramping up volume production. Extendibility of C4NP to 50 mum ultra-fine pitch microbump application has been successfully demonstrated with the existing C4NP manufacturing tools. Targeted applications for microbumps are three-dimensional (3D) chip integration and the conversion of memory wafers from wirebonding (WB) to C4 bumping. The metrology data on solder volume, bump height, defect and yield have been characterized by RVSI inspection.

The package-on-package (PoP) is one of the 3D packaging solutions, by which the packaging and assembly houses can achieve a lower cost, faster turn benefits and testing prior to assembly. PoP is a complicated system with multi-layered structure, which induces more manufacturability issues, such as stand-off height issue and top & bottom packages having different types of warpage. In order to reduce R&D cost, achieve fast time-to-market and address most of the manufacturability issues during the development of a new PoP, a design advisor for PoP manufacturing has been developed based on the design for manufacturability (DFM) methodology. The key components of this design advisor are the validated numerical models, comprehensive materials library, design guidelines of PoP packaging and novel finite element analysis (FEA) techniques. With the developed novel FEA techniques for curing process simulation and seamless packaging process simulation, complete numerical models for PoP manufacturing were developed and validated, which can simulate the whole PoP manufacturing processes. The design advisor is easy to use by selecting package geometries, material properties and process parameters. By running the envelope-based design advisor for normal package design or the FEA-based design advisor for special package design, the detailed analysis reports can be generated, including simulation results, design evaluations and recommendations to ensure the first-time success of package design. Therefore, the design advisor can help improve the yield of complex PoP manufacturing processes leading to higher quality and confidence of manufacturing processes, faster time-to-market and lower overall manufacturing cost.","PeriodicalId":6324,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Electronic Packaging Technology & High Density Packaging","volume":"30 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76828155","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}

Currently, it is usually by setting optimum plating parameters and adopting electrochemical method to achieve the uniformity of plating. However, the problem of non-uniform distribution of electric field, which is the major cause of the non-uniformity of the plating thin-film, has not been solved. In this paper, finite element method (FEM) was developed to analyze the non-uniform distribution of electric field under different conditions in the process of electroplating. The results show that different thickness of photo-resist and size of electroplating cell are two major factors contribute to the uniformity of plating thin-film. The uniform of electroplating cell can be improved by adding in-chip auxiliary electrode. Also better uniformity of the plating film in radial direction can achieved by setting a shield in the proper position of the plating solution and annular out-chip auxiliary electrode (Cu) around the wafer. The simulation results were consistent with experimental results, which proved that finite element method is an effect way to simulate the electroplating process.","PeriodicalId":6324,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Electronic Packaging Technology & High Density Packaging","volume":"162 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78071201","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}

Experimental results indicated that scallop shell-like Co-Ni alloys could be fabricated on copper wafers. The tendency to form the shell-like deposits increased with increase of deposition time. While on silicon wafers, scallop shell-like Co-Ni alloys could not be fabricated. SEM and AFM analyses indicated that both composite films have a large surface area.

But during the assembly process, the POP had encountered the challenge of packages stacking yield loss, especially when top package and bottom package stacking. The key factors are the mount height of top package, the mold cap of bottom package, and the metallized ball land on the top surface of bottom package. JEDEC JC-11 has defined the rules of two packages stacking. However, the fine pitch package stacking application will meet the process capability limitation, including thinner mold cap, wafer thinning and the lowest wire bond loop height challenges. The POP used the top gate mold chase for the bottom package to expose the metallized ball land on the top side of package which is a dedicated molding tooling. Also, some process are used for solving yield loss issues such as a POP with interposer between top package and bottom package, or a bottom package with pre-mounted the solder ball on chip side ready for top package to attach. Those are customized tooling and not a prevailing tooling that increases the developing cost and timing. To resolve the stacking process yield loss issue, a MAPPOP solution had been revealed for eliminating the limitation between the top and bottom package stacking. The assembly process of mold array package (MAP) for fine pitch BGA has been implemented for MAPPOP applications. In the paper, the package design rules, and assembly process of exposed metallized ball land on the top surface of bottom package had been discussed. Finally the warpage performance and the packaging level reliability had also been discussed and analyzed.","PeriodicalId":6324,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Electronic Packaging Technology & High Density Packaging","volume":"50 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75741070","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}
