This Pd/PVP aqueous system was developed as the activator for electroless copper deposition. Compared with commercial Pd/Sn colloid that was easily oxidized by dissolved oxygen and agglomerated in the solution, Pd/PVP activator was stable without any Pd aggregation for a long time. Pd/PVP activator showed high catalytic activity as Pd/Sn colloid on flat FR-4 substrate (glass fiber reinforced epoxy). From back-light test for printed-through-hole (PTH) process, we found that micro-etching process would reduce catalytic activity of Pd/PVP activator and voids in PTH occurred especially on glass fiber. Adding phosphoric acid to Pd/PVP activator could improve back-light performance, but Pd nanoparticles precipitated in a few days. In this study, we found that H3PO4 molecule was the cause of Pd agglomeration by forming hydrogen bond with PVP. Pd nanoparticles would precipitate if the concentration of H3PO4 were high in the solution. IR spectra and UV-vis spectra proved that Pd/PVP activator would react with H3PO4 molecules to form a complex by hydrogen bond, and DLS analysis also showed that Pd/PVP/H3PO4 nanoparticles formed a larger hydrolysis cluster than Pd/PVP nanoparticles. TEM images gave the information about particle size and shape of Pd nanoparticles, and more information about dispersion and distance of Pd nanoparticles and Pd clusters could be obtained by the model fitting of SAXS data. The results showed that Pd/PVP/H3PO4 nanoparticles formed a looser structure than Pd/PVP nanoparticles. Since there is higher Cu deposition on epoxy when we use Pd/PVP/H3PO4 nanoparticles as activator, in PTH process, Cu deposition on glass fiber is improved by Cu deposition on epoxy nearby. So back-light performance become acceptable for PCBs industry.","PeriodicalId":6410,"journal":{"name":"2009 4th International Microsystems, Packaging, Assembly and Circuits Technology Conference","volume":"4 1","pages":"625-628"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90794955","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}

Since the residual stress causes the shift of electronic functions of dielectric and semiconductor materials, these shifts sometimes degrade their performance and reliability. Therefore, it is very important to measure and control the residual stress in thin-film-applied products. In this study, the changes of the electronic performance of MOS transistors by mechanical stress were measured by applying a four-point bending method. The stress sensitivity of the transconductance of NMOS transistors increased from about 1%/100-MPa to about 15%/100-MPa by decreasing the gate length of the transistors from 400 nm to 150 nm. So, it showed miniaturization of transistors increased the stress sensitivity of the performance. One of the estimated important factors which dominated this increase was attributed to the interference of stress concentration fields occurred at the edges of gate electrodes. The change of the residual stress in a transistor structure caused by deposition of thin films was analyzed by applying a finite element method (FEM). The estimated change was validated by experiment using originally developed stress sensing chips. The estimated change of the stress due to deposition of gate electrode tungsten film was about 25MPa. The measured average stress was about 20MPa and it agreed well with the estimated value. Next, the change of the residual stress caused by the interference of the stress concentration field between gate-electrodes was validated by applying this stress sensing chip. The measured change of the stress caused by making one slit by focused ion beam was about 70MPa and it agreed well with the estimated value of about 60MPa. In addition, the change of residual stress was increased with the more decreased width of slits. It was confirmed, therefore, that both the thin film process-induced stress and the packaging-induced stress change the final residual stress in a transistor structure and the change can be evaluated by our stress-sensing chip quantitatively.","PeriodicalId":6410,"journal":{"name":"2009 4th International Microsystems, Packaging, Assembly and Circuits Technology Conference","volume":"12 3 1","pages":"293-296"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82391378","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}

After this step, the wafer grinding, the wafer cutting, the chip choice and the final test (F/T) are gradually adopted to proceed. Finally, due to the customer's need, the shipping package type to customers is, generally, tray or tape and reel. Although the stencil printing technology can provide the mass-production capability, the mainly existing problems of this technology are the quality of manufacturing steel plate, the coating operation for solder paste, and the flatness of wafer surface. These issues usually constrain the minimization of the size of the solder ball and the pitch.

This combination of WLCSP is considered to have the high stiffness in the structure. It is also shown that there are interactions between the SAC405 solder balls, the Al/Ni/Cu pad plating, the reflow profile and the flux chemistry. The experimental result shows that at the same strain rate range (∼106 µɛ/s), the fracture position occurrence happens in internal die at 11,000µɛ. This data indicates that the brittle fracture position transfers from general IMC layer to higher brittle layer in the component. The variation of the strain energy of materials and the stress concentration position which changes in different package sizes are speculated to be the cause of the fracture position transfer. Therefore, in our research; we will investigate the relationship between the IMC layer and microstructure of under bump metallization (UBM).

The JEDEC standardize for board level drop test address test board construction, design, material, component locations and test conditions etc. However, in actual drop test conditions, continued drops usually loosen up the mounting screw consequently. This situation may cause the poor repeatability of the experiment. The uncertainty condition of the screw may consequently influence the dynamic behavior of the printed circuit board (PCB) assembly. The objective of this research is to study the uncertainty of the screw condition in relation to the dynamic response on the board level drop test by LS-DYNA3D. Both drop test experiments and dynamic simulation are executed. The modified input-G method, which considered the residuals of screw, was proposed to discuss the uncertainty of screw condition. Residual stress is applied in the tight screw condition. The result shows that a loose screw condition has higher first vibration amplitude of displacement, and the vibration frequency is lower than in a tight screw condition. It is also found that the chip scale package under the loose screw condition has worse reliability in the of drop test due to higher vibration magnitude. Several parametric studies including discussions on the chip thickness, chip size, dielectric layer thickness and hardness, and the solder ball distribution were performed to improve reliability.","PeriodicalId":6410,"journal":{"name":"2009 4th International Microsystems, Packaging, Assembly and Circuits Technology Conference","volume":"4 1","pages":"537-540"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81366372","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}

ACF is widely used in high quality, excellent signal interconnection and fine pitch products. Nevertheless, during the fast flow and curing process of the electronic material, the risk of voiding may be increased. This study focuses on the characteristics and phenomena of a new-type ACF on the outer lead bonding (OLB) for flip chip on flex substrate (FCOF) assembly. Firstly, the thermal response and curing capability of the new-type ACF is investigated by the experiment. And the numerical simulation is used by computer aided engineering (CAE) that shows the heating effect of components on the bonding process. Both the simulated and experimental results can obtain the similar thermal behaviors. For the reliability assessment of the new-type ACF, the experiment procedures are adjusted three parameters of temperature, pressure and time under the bonding process. It can be easily discovered that the delaminations or cracks is caused by a lower compliance behavior of the interfaces between bumps on the polyimide (PI) substrate and indium tin oxides (ITOs) on the glass substrate. In order to evaluate the adhesive strength of ACF through the thermal loading, the strength of FCOF assembly is measured by a 90-degree peel test and is verified by the CAE simulation. In this study, the minimum peel strength of the new-type ACF has to be greater than 400 g/cm in order to satisfy the specification. Then, a stripped meshed model is simulated to understand the fracture growth between each interface under a constant speed of 8mm/sec. It can be found that the initial creak starts from the ACF-glass substrate interface and then propagates to the ITO. Finally, the swelling phenomenon of the new-type ACF is investigated. It shows that the swelling will not affect the structure of components and the reliability assessment is good.","PeriodicalId":6410,"journal":{"name":"2009 4th International Microsystems, Packaging, Assembly and Circuits Technology Conference","volume":" 23","pages":"31-34"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91413918","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}
