{"title":"Effect of Interaction Between Multiple Defects on Z-Depth Estimate in Lock-in Thermography Applications","authors":"B. Ravi, Mayue Xie, D. Goyal","doi":"10.1109/ECTC.2018.00343","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ECTC.2018.00343","url":null,"abstract":"In the recent years, 3D packaging has become a major enabler for heterogeneous integration of multiple functional devices and different nodes into a single package. The integration of multiple devices into 3D packages poses significant challenges when it comes to electrical fault isolation and failure analysis. With 3D packages, non-destructive fault isolation is important so as to accurately isolate the defect to the specific part of the failing package. This is critical since the different components in a 3D package are often owned by different suppliers and accurate non-destructive fault isolation will facilitate further root cause analysis and failure disposition by the concerned suppliers. Much higher sensitivity and better resolution in defect depth are two critical capabilities required for 3D packages. Lock-in Thermography (LIT) is a powerful non-destructive fault isolation technique for thermally active defects in semiconductor packages. With the integration of multiple components into 3D packages, the challenge lies in the added complexity in terms of the number of active devices and routing inside the package. More often than not, we have multiple defects inside the package at the same time. This study presents a fundamental analysis on the interaction between multiple defects in a package and its effect on defect depth estimate accuracy in lock-in thermography applications. In addition, data from real test cases have also been presented, which help better understand the interaction between multiple defects and provide confidence in the proposed correlations. The learnings from this study will facilitate tool and technique development and benefit failure analysis and 3D package development community.","PeriodicalId":6555,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 68th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"2280-2287"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75681654","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}

Sugawa","doi":"10.1109/ECTC.2018.00066","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ECTC.2018.00066","url":null,"abstract":"A new, highly productive and accurate thermal compression bonder is presented. Overcoming the disparity between productivity and accuracy, we propose a multi-table and multi-bond head system utilizing gantries, including: a pipeline system to decrease total cooling time during TCB, a cancellation system for vibration during table motion, and a structure for high force bonding with accuracy appropriate for TCB. On a system containing 2 bond heads on 2 gantries, the total TCB process time applying the proposed pipeline system is decreased to 5.5sec, which is 33% higher productivity compared to series processing. By using a structure of separating the bonder base and moving axis, which functions as a cancellation system for vibration generated from the moving axis, no vibration propagates to the other moving axis, resulting that the system enables high speed operation to improve productivity. Typical systems which mount bonding heads on a gantry are constructed with a cantilever structure having advantages for the structure and light weight while having disadvantages for shifting placement position during high force bonding over 100N. To satisfy both placement accuracy and high force for TCB, a new system is designed which transfers high Z axis force to a separate upper structure, solving the inherent accuracy problems with cantilever systems. At 200N, the placement shifts are 1µm with the system and 12µm without it. By implementing the described functions, a productive and accurate TCB bonder is realized. In this paper, we report detailed experimental results for the functions. The potential of a new TCB bonder including these new functions will be demonstrated through bonding results.","PeriodicalId":6555,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 68th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"3 1","pages":"392-400"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78400160","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}

One category of chipless RFID is known as the radar cross section (RCS) backscattered chipless RFID. RCS Chipless RFID tags operate by physically encoding data with carefully designed resonating elements. These resonating elements are short electrically coupled resonators that backscatter an interrogating signal based on their frequency dependent RCS signature. In this study, we investigate through simulation and experimental results the properties of four inkjet printable RCS backscattered chipless RFID designs. Each of the designs have different resonating elements that effect the tags reading range, readability, tag size, bandwidth utilization, and polarization dependence.

To optimally select an appropriate carrier and adhesive, a study of the forces necessary to maintain substrate flatness throughout a simulated temperature excursion of the chip joining process was conducted by developing a novel adaptation of the Shadow-Moiré fringe measurement technique. Different temporary adhesives and carriers were then investigated by modeling and mechanical testing as well as by thermal Shadow-Moiré comparison of free-standing versus bonded substrates during the chip joining temperature profile. These tests recommended the use of an aluminum carrier. Both polyimide and thermoplastic adhesive demonstrated improved results (20 µm warpage) with this carrier as compared to the freestanding substrate (40-100 µm), although the tendency of the thermoplastic to deform at elevated temperatures and stresses was identified as a concern. Subsequent assembly experiments on production scale equipment validated both the improved warpage control obtained by a temporary carrier solution and the superior performance of the polyimide adhesive. Results of the polyimide solution are presented through detailed comparison to a standard process. Significant improvements were observed in such aspects as die warpage (20-30 µm vs 130-140 µm), interconnect height consistency (56-59 µm vs 55-68 µm) and post underfill assembly warpage (150 µm vs 250 µm). The results warrant further work to develop a manufacturing level debonding process and ultimately integrate the entire solution into a high volume production flip chip assembly process.","PeriodicalId":6555,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 68th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"136-137 1","pages":"703-711"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79236623","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}

Therefore, for wafer-level fabrication process of micro shell resonators, ensuring size uniformity is an important issue that must be considered. The original wafer-level method for the preparation of micro shell resonators - chemical foaming process (CFP), cannot guarantee that all the resonators on the wafer have the same size. In this paper, an improved process is investigated to improve size uniformity of wafer level shell resonators. Through the measurement, the standard deviation of the height of micro shell resonators on the wafer is reduced from 0.12 to 0.08, and the range is reduced from 480µm to 350µm.

{"title":"Eliminating Harmful Intermetallic Compound Phase in Silver Wire Bonding by Alloying Silver with Indium","authors":"Jiaqi Wu, Chin C. Lee","doi":"10.1109/ECTC.2018.00335","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ECTC.2018.00335","url":null,"abstract":"Recently, silver (Ag) alloys have been emerging as bonding wire materials for commercialized electronic products because of moderate hardness, high ductility, best thermal and electrical conductivities among metals and low growth rate of intermetallic compounds (IMCs). Many compositional designs such as Ag-Palladium (Pd), Ag-Gold (Au)-Pd have been demonstrated and relevant reliability issues on aluminum (Al) pad have been studied. Ag2Al and Ag3Al have been identified as the interfacial IMCs. However, the softness, facture toughness and corrosion resistance of Ag2Al are much better than those of Ag3Al. Therefore, Ag3Al and its interfaces between adjacent phases become weak part in terms of long term reliability. In this paper, an approach to eliminate Ag3Al phase is proposed by alloying indium (In) into Ag. Comprehensive studies are preformed after the inter-diffusion between Ag and Al. Focus ion beam (FIB) is utilized to create clean cross sections and sample preparation. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) by using in-beam secondary electron (ISE) detector is carried out for cross-sectional examination and morphological evolution description. Furthermore, nanostructure, high spatial resolution compositional study and phase identification are conducted by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDX) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED). The results show that the IMCs growth rate is high suppressed and Ag3Al layer has been replaced by an Ag-In-Al ternary phase. The crystal structure of the ternary phase is identified as hexagonal close packing (hcp), which is same as the structure of Ag2Al. As a result, the weak phase and interfaces due to the growth of Ag3Al are eliminated, which will definitely increase the reliability of joints. Also, alloying with indium will improve the mechanical property and tarnishing resistance of Ag, therefore, it should be promising in the future Ag wire bonding market.","PeriodicalId":6555,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 68th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"45 1","pages":"2230-2236"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81069717","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}

{"title":"Direct Bonding Silver to Aluminum Using Eutectic Reaction in Air","authors":"Shao-Wei Fu, Chin C. Lee","doi":"10.1109/ECTC.2018.00086","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ECTC.2018.00086","url":null,"abstract":"The high thermal conductivity, light weight, and low cost of aluminum (Al) make it a promising substrate material for high power electronic packaging. Recently, direct bond aluminum (DBA) substrate has received significant attention as a possible alternative to direct bond copper (DBC) substrate which seems to have thermal cycling reliability issues. A main challenge of using aluminum substrates in electronic packaging is the poor bondability. The native aluminum oxide layer prevents aluminum from forming bonding with die-attach materials or metallization layers. Thus, zincating process is required to dissolve the aluminum oxide and deposit a protective layer of zinc, which provides a basis for subsequent metallization. In this research, Ag-Al eutectic bonding has been developed as a novel bonding technique to direct bond Ag to Al substrate. The shear strength of the Ag-Al joints passes military criterion (MIL-STD-883H method 2019.8) with a large margin. SEM and TEM analyses were utilized to study the microstructures in details. The results reveal that eutectic structure of Ag2Al and (Al) phase forms at the Ag/Al bonding interface. A uniform Ag2Al compound layer was observed between the eutectic structure and Ag region, with no Ag3Al compound detected. In the Ag-Al eutectic reaction process, the aluminum oxide layer was broken into pieces and dispersed into the eutectic structure region. To investigate the fracture modes of Ag-Al eutectic joints, the fracture surfaces of Ag-Al joints were evaluated after the shear test. The fracture surfaces correspond to a typical ductile fracture with plastic deformation and drawing matrix. An application of this new technique is to bond Ag foils to Al substrates and make them bondable to die-attach materials such as solders and nano-silver paste. At a more advanced level, device chips can be bonded to the Ag foil on Al substrates at 300 °C using solid state bonding technique. This foil bonding application provides an alternative to the zincating and metallization processes on aluminum substrates. Other potential applications include making Al surfaces easier to blaze to other metals such as brass and copper.","PeriodicalId":6555,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 68th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"91 1","pages":"545-550"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79520869","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}
