The present study attempted to investigate the wetting behavior of the Sn3Ag solder on the electroless NiP with wetting balance at 250°C and 270°C. The cross section of the wetting specimen was further investigated for the interaction and the interfacial microstructure between the solder and the NiP/Cu substrate. The interface was composed of Ni3Sn4 and Ni3P compound layers. A Ni-Sn-P layer was detected between these two compound layers. The thickness of these layers was analyzed for the growth kinetics. The growth of these layers were found to follow an empirical power law log h(thickness) = log k(constant) + n log t(time). The variation in n values was discussed in relating to the growth mechanism of these two layers.","PeriodicalId":6360,"journal":{"name":"2011 6th International Microsystems, Packaging, Assembly and Circuits Technology Conference (IMPACT)","volume":"84 1","pages":"29-32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89887588","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 nonlinear governing equations are derived, first, in a non-dimensional form in terms of lateral slope and radial force resultant. These equations are solved u sin g a numerical finite difference method with the aid of the clamped-ended boundary conditions of the problem and an iteration procedure, by taking the associated linear analytical solution of lateral slope as the initial guess. For an early monolithic plate under a very low applied voltage, the results agree well with available solutions for a single-layered case due to uniform lateral load in literature and thus the present approach is validated. For a two-layered un-symmetric plate made of typical silicon-based materials, the results show that piezoelectric effect seems to be apparent only up to a moderate initial tension and a moderate lateral pressure. Under this circumstance, the higher the applied voltage, the greater the central deflection; and hence the plate may transit to a membrane in a relatively low pretension condition. For a relatively high pretension or a severe lateral load, however, the piezoelectric effect becomes insignificant. Moreover, the effects of initial tension and lateral load may merge to become dominant, yielding nearly the same responses, regardless of the magnitude of the applied voltage.","PeriodicalId":6360,"journal":{"name":"2011 6th International Microsystems, Packaging, Assembly and Circuits Technology Conference (IMPACT)","volume":"14 1","pages":"157-160"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78129503","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}

Wafer level package is good way to resolve fine pitch and high I/O density IC productions, especially package tape of Wafer Level Chip Scale Package (WLCSP). In traditional bumping process, such as printing [1], electric-plating [2] and ball mount [3–5], it is done by producing bumps on wafers. The paste printing technologies are very versatile with respect to the alloy composition that can be use, but is limited to pitches around 200um for 100um tall bumps. The electric-plating technique is somewhat limited for use in smaller facilities due to the high capital and operation costs. In addition, ternary alloys, like SnAgCu are difficult to plate with consistent results. There is also a practical upper limit to the size of the bump that can be produced, and most applications rare for fine pitch bumping. Ball mount technology uses performed solder spheres dropping through a metal template onto wafer at once. This technology is directly producing bumps on wafer which with high throughput and consistent bump results. Ball mounts process without using electric-plating electrolyte decrease cost and chemical pollution. This technique is applicable for many applications but there are several issues are associated with this technology that limits its widespread use in high volume and high yield applications. These limitations include of there is a practical lower limit to the size of sphere that can be dropped, the stencil between the performed solder spheres and the wafer can fail, causing a release of all the spheres into the tool (often referred to as bursts or escapes), and the yields are statistically low. To get high I/O density IC request, the trend of WLCSP I/O pad distributed design is toward to reduce I/O pitch and increase I/O density, and therefore impact solder ball size application of ball mount process, WLCSP Micro-ball mount technology is requested. There are several issues are associated with this technology that certain ball dropping position and escape issue. The most important factors associated with performance of Micro-ball mount technology are accurate dropping parameter, stencil quality and reflow condition. In this paper, we successfully produced WLCSP Micro-ball which diameter lower than 100um with bump pitch 130um onto 300mm wafers. Yield more than 99.99% without missing bump and bridge bump were realized for placing 70um spheres onto wafers with ∼2KK I/Os.","PeriodicalId":6360,"journal":{"name":"2011 6th International Microsystems, Packaging, Assembly and Circuits Technology Conference (IMPACT)","volume":"9 1","pages":"140-143"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85154596","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}

Recently, high efficient GaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have undergone a rapid development and flip chip bonding has been widely applied to fabricate high-brightness GaN micro-LED arrays [1]. The flip chip GaN LED has some advantages over the traditional top-emission LED, including improved current spreading, higher light extraction efficiency, better thermal dissipation capability and the potential of further optical component integration [2, 3]. With the advantages of flip chip assembly, micro-LED (μLED) arrays with high I/O density can be performed with improved luminous efficiency than conventional p-side-up micro-LED arrays and are suitable for many potential applications, such as micro-displays, bio-photonics and visible light communications (VLC), etc. In particular, μLED array based selif-emissive micro-display has the promising to achieve high brightness and contrast, reliability, long-life and compactness, which conventional micro-displays like LCD, OLED, etc, cannot compete with. In this study, GaN micro-LED array device with flip chip assembly package process was presented. The bonding quality of flip chip high density micro-LED array is tested by daisy chain test. The p-n junction tests of the devices are measured for electrical characteristics. The illumination condition of each micro-diode pixel was examined under a forward bias.

Shadow Moiré technique was used to characterize the overall warpage of the package between room temperature and solder ball reflow temperature of 230°C and Micro Moiré interferometry was used at room temperature and 114°C. From the results by Shadow Moiré, a heat spreader could alter the warpage pattern of the package from convex (w/o) to concave (w/o) and the amount of warpage was well-controlled under 16um.

Two methods including conventional reflow and solid-liquid interdiffusion (SLID) bonding were chosen to interconnect the microbumps on the chip and on the interposer. In the former case, the as-plated Sn caps were fluxed with Senju Metal's WF-6400 paste, and the chip was then placed on a Si interposer using a SÜSS FC-150 bonder at room temperature. Afterwards, the Sn caps on the chip and on the Si interposer were melted and interconnected at a peak temperature of 250°C in an ERSA's reflow oven (Hotflow 7). The flux residues were cleaned after reflow, and the microgap between the chip and the Si interposer were fully sealed by a Namics' capillary underfill with an average filler size of 0.3 um. Regarding the SLID bonding, the oxides on the as-plated Sn caps were removed by a plasma etcher first, and then the chip was placed on the interposer by the SÜSS FC-150 bonder as well, subsequently, the Sn caps were heated up to 260°C to react with Cu to form Cu6Sn5 completely. In the final, the intermetallic microjoints were also protected by the same capillary underfill. After assembling, the JEDEC preconditioning test was used to screen the test vehicles for reliability assessment, and then a temperature cycling test was performed to predict the lifespan of the microjoints. The test results showed that the microjoints formed by SLID bonding provided a superior reliability performance to those assembled by reflow. According to the images of focus ion beam (FIB), the intermetallic phases of Cu6Sn5 and Cu3Sn coexisted at the interface between the Sn cap and the Cu pillar after reflow once, and some Kirkendall voids were found at the Cu3Sn / Cu pillar interface concurrently. When the microjoints undergone 3 times more reflow in the preconditioning test, the Kirkendall voids accumulated and was going to speed up the failure of microjoints as experienced just hundreds of temperature cycles. On the other hand, the microjoints produced by SLID bonding have not failed when thousands of temperature cycles passed. Based on those evidences, it is claimed here that SLID is an efficient bonding method to form reliable intermetallic microjoints for chip stacking.","PeriodicalId":6360,"journal":{"name":"2011 6th International Microsystems, Packaging, Assembly and Circuits Technology Conference (IMPACT)","volume":"1 1","pages":"419-422"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78721025","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}
