By reflowing Ni/Sn/Ni interconnects under temperature gradient, a new transient liquid phase (TLP) bonding process is proposed for high temperature packaging applications in this study. The evolution of the dominant Ni3Sn4 intermetallic compounds (IMCs) depends strongly on temperature gradient. The essential cause of such dependence is attributed to the different amounts of Ni atomic fluxes being introduced into the interfacial reaction between the new and conventional TLP bonding processes. Under the effect of temperature gradient, mass thermomigration of Ni atoms from the hot end toward the cold end promotes the total Ni atomic flux for interfacial reaction. As a result, the total growth of IMCs is significantly accelerated. The new TLP bonding process consumes limited cold end Ni substrate. The mechanism for the new TLP bonding process is discussed and experimentally verified in this study.","PeriodicalId":6557,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 67th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"112 1","pages":"411-416"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80659290","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 concept of alignment via surface tension force of melted solder has been proposed over two decades ago and appears simple. Yet, its effective working into manufacturing requires solving a few fundamental issues. In prior work, we introduced the concept of solder reservoirs which provide a solder volume self-balancing mechanism to notably enhance self-alignment yield. In this paper, we show that the effectiveness of reservoirs is impeded when the solder wetting of pads or the solder mobility between pads and reservoirs is limited. We therefore studied a wide variety of metal stacks and identified candidates for substantial wetting and solder mobility improvement. We ranked the metal stacks for solder mobility using traditional wetting angles as well as speed of wetting along narrow tracks. First test parts, manufactured with the improved metal stacks, show the expected benefit in increased yield for chip alignment.","PeriodicalId":6557,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 67th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"19 1","pages":"667-674"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90372833","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 comparisons were made in three main aspects, including the dispersion of the dopants, the micromorphology evolution of the solder matrix and the reinforcement of reliability performance of the solder joints. The dispersion was evaluated via observing the agglomeration of dopants. Micromorphology changes in the ball grid array (BGA) solder joints were detected via optical and scanning electron microscopy. Ball shear testing was applied to assess the bonding strength of the doped solder joints. Thermal shock testing was used to estimate the reliability performance. According to the results, the dispersion process of the CNT is greatly optimized by applying Ni coating, eliminating the agglomeration of CNT in the solder joints. Furthermore, the mechanical performance of the solder joints containing Ni-CNT performed better. However, the reliability performance became worse as the amount of doping increased. This work contributes to a better understanding on the impact of the CNT dispersion and the effectiveness of nickel-coating modified CNTs in the solder joints.","PeriodicalId":6557,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 67th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"401 1","pages":"1981-1986"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76695487","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}

To further explore and utilize its great potential for electronic packaging applications, the authors have studied the methodology in fabricating silver solid solution thin film layer on copper substrates as its coating layer, using E-beam evaporation deposition. The grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) were used in couple to study the surface composition and thin film quality of the silver-indium solid solution layer on copper substrates. High quality homogenous coating layers with various compositions have been successfully fabricated on copper substrates. It is worthwhile noticing that additional annealing steps are not needed to achieve the homogenous silver-indium solid solution layers. Subsequent solid-state bonding experiments have shown the good bondability of the resulting coating layer of silver-indium solid solution with their cross-sectional optical and scanning electron microscope (SEM) images. Accordingly, the resulting copper substrates with silver-indium solid solution coatings should have a great potential to be used as a highly conductive bondable substrate for high-power electronics and photonics applications.","PeriodicalId":6557,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 67th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"496 1","pages":"166-172"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77026322","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}

Chu, Xuejun Fan","doi":"10.1109/ECTC.2017.239","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ECTC.2017.239","url":null,"abstract":"All electronic packages involve with a multi-material system, in which many of the materials or films are susceptible to moisture absorption. Despite dissimilar material properties, moisture transports in a multi-material system from a high \"water activity\" region to a low one, where water activity is a measure of water energy in a specific substance. This, however, has not been well recognized in electronic packaging industry. Furthermore, moisture concentration gradient is often deemed as the driving force for moisture transport, which inevitably poses a challenging discontinuity issue at interface for moisture diffusion in multi-material systems. Even though several normalization schemes have been developed in the literature, much confusion has existed on the fundamental principle of moisture diffusion. This paper derived an activity-based diffusion model using the concepts of chemical potential and water activity. We showed that the continuity of water activity at interface in dissimilar materials is warranted, and furthermore, many nonlinear water sorption isotherms can be applied in the activity-based model by using a new property called \"generalized solubility\". The activity-based model thus is capable to study complex moisture diffusion in multi-material system. Moreover, in this paper, the activity-based model was used to unify the different normalization theories, such as solubility-based and the so-called wetness normalization approaches. We also discussed how water sorption isotherm would affect the conventional moisture diffusivity, finding that only for some limiting cases (e.g., Henry sorption isotherm), the \"effective moisture diffusivity\" becomes independent of moisture concentration. We pointed out that the generalized solubility that are needed to solve the diffusion can be obtained using conventional terms such as saturated moisture concentration and solubility. As demonstration, a numerical example was performed in commercial finite element software to study the moisture diffusion through a bi-material interface under dynamic temperature and humidity conditions. The results from different nonlinear sorption isotherms were compared to demonstrate the capability and versatility of the model. We concluded that the activity-based moisture diffusion model is a unified and versatile approach to study and understand the moisture diffusion mechanism in IC packages.","PeriodicalId":6557,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 67th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"13 1","pages":"1660-1667"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72860687","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}

It concludes that due to the competing mechanisms of moisture and temperature there exist a \"critical user\", given in terms of ON-time per day that maximizes the requirements. It is this user that determines the qualification requirements, as opposed to, commonly assumed, the longest OFF-time user. The study also provides a simple equation for the computation of Stable Wetness, thus enabling an easy application of the proposed concepts in practical applications.","PeriodicalId":6557,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 67th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"15 1","pages":"1187-1195"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74487652","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}

And for complex function request, the area of side-by-side silicon dies size are very close to FO multi-dies chip size, there is narrow die gap between these side-by-side dies. A large coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) mismatch between epoxy molding compound (EMC) and silicon dies is a significant contributor to the origin of warpage, and will lead to high thermal-mechanical strain and stress at narrow area of side-by-side die gap.
