As Cu has lower electrical resistivity than Sn, the Cu core was chosen primarily as the path for current flux. Compared with the traditional solder joint, this core/shell solder has two couples of cathode and anode due to the additional Cu core. It is found that most morphology changes appeared at the region where current crowding occurred according to finite element simulation. Under electron wind force, some Sn grain at the anodes rotated as a result of stress relaxation and the angle of the rotation increased with prolonging the stressing time. No obvious intermetallic compound growth was found.","PeriodicalId":6440,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Symposium on Advanced Packaging Materials (APM)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89532045","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 adhesion of the nano copper ink film on PI was checked by cross cut tape test, and the results showed 100% film remained. As the RFID antennas and RF chips were packaged by anisotropic conductive adhesive to form the RFID inlays, the reading distance of the inlays can reach 3 meters.

By finite element analysis (FEA), the distribution of moisture diffusion, thermo-mechanical stress, hygro-mechanical stress and hygro-thermo-mechanical stress under hygro-thermal environment were simulated and calculated. The simulation results showed that the bottom die-attach endured higher thermal stress after the moisture preconditioning under 85°C /85% RH. By simulation of hygroscopic swelling stress during reflow process, it was indicated that the critical position for the package reliability located at the corner of the bottom die and the interface between the bottom die-attach and die. Therefore, the reliability of the bottom layers is relatively low under hygro-thermal environment.","PeriodicalId":6440,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Symposium on Advanced Packaging Materials (APM)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73942199","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}

Package level reliability has been well studied. However, during material screening stage, it is difficult to estimate the impact of IC packaging materials on package reliability performance based on typical material properties such as CTE, Tg and Storage Modulus determined at time zero stage. In this study, 3 types of Epoxy mold compounds (EMCs) were characterized with their thermo-mechanical properties by means of TGA, TMA and DMA at different 175°C high temperature storage (HTS) durations, i.e. 0hr, 1000hrs and 2000hrs respectively. Furthermore, simulation assessments for package stress are conducted for EMC evaluation at package level. The thermo-mechanical properties of EMC materials obtained are used as inputs for static linear simulation. Package stresses are retrieved from the simulation for relative comparison. The simulation results clearly show that the material degradation due to HTS has significant impact on the package stress level especially at high temperature range, which is critical for packages with stringent reliability requirement in automotive industry.","PeriodicalId":6440,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Symposium on Advanced Packaging Materials (APM)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87430413","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}

Low temperature bonding is indispensable for relevant MEMS packaging, and use of sub-micron Au particles are suitable for hermetic seal bonding. For the fabrication of hermetically sealed wafer level packaging, a base silicon wafer and a cap glass wafer were bonded at around 200°C. Before bonding, the surface of seal rings was observed with a laser microscope to investigate the effect of surface roughness for hermeticity. After bonding, bonded wafers were dipped in the hydrofluoroether for 30 min. As a result, surface flatness of Au particles contributed to achieve hermetic sealing. Double seal rings structures were also useful to realize hermetic sealing.","PeriodicalId":6440,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Symposium on Advanced Packaging Materials (APM)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82841323","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}
