Kondo","doi":"10.1109/ECTC.2017.94","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ECTC.2017.94","url":null,"abstract":"In recent years, continuing enhancement of highly-functional electronic devices, such as mobile terminal devices, has significantly increased the volume and speed of data transmission. This made high-frequency communication for data transmission between electronic devices essential. Thus, device component suppliers must offer products with low transmission loss in high-frequency range. An insulating adhesive film used for a semiconductor package substrate requires component materials which provide low dielectric property and low linear expansion coefficient to achieve higher data transmitting signal, eliminate chip delamination during the mounting process, and prevent internal copper wiring from breaking. Meanwhile, a recent trend of thinner, lighter electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets leads to more consideration of potential solutions including the use of: flexible printed circuit with softness and excellent flexibility, microwiring to better work for high-density wiring on circuit substrate, and a multilayer-thin-film substrate. Providing optimal low linear expansion coefficient is acknowledged as an additional requirement, by which reliable adhesion between layers of different materials in multilayer substrates is ensured. Previously, such insulating adhesive film had not been developed. We have successfully developed an insulating adhesive film for high frequency applications to ensure the following properties to meet the demand. Through our investigation, we attained low dielectric properties, dielectric constant (Dk) of 3.0 and dielectric loss tangent (Df) of 0.0025, by selecting the resin with low polarity molecular structure. Optimization of additives to resin ensured the new film to provide high peeling strength (7 N / cm with copper film) and low modulus (1 GPa or less). Low expansion coefficient (α1: 25 ppm, α2: 100 ppm) was also achieved through selection of a suitable inorganic filler, optimization of filler particle size, and dispersing filler uniformly. Thus, the highly uniform film thickness of the new film enables a multilayer-thin-film structure and also facilitates impedance matching. The developed film facilitates flexible wiring design owing to stable dielectric properties at a high-frequency range (1 to 20 GHz), lower transmission loss, and a lack of directional dependence of material properties. The film also adheres to a smooth copper conductor. This makes microwiring possible and lowers conductor loss (i.e., surface effect). In addition, the film's lower linear expansion coefficient ensures reliability of adhesion between layers of different materials in the package.","PeriodicalId":6557,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 67th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"9 1","pages":"1322-1327"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85028814","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 chips feature alignment marks used for measuring the resulting offset after assembly. The accuracy of the alignment is found to be better than 0.5 µm in × and y directions, depending on the process. The chips also feature waveguides and vertical grating couplers (VGC) fabricated in the front-end-of-line (FEOL) and organized in order to realize an optical interconnection between the chips. The coupling of light between the chips is measured and compared to numerical simulation. This high accuracy self-alignment was obtained after studying the impact of flux and fluxless treatments on the wetting of the pads and the successful assembly yield. The composition of the bump surface was analyzed with Time-of-Flight Secondary Ions Mass Spectroscopy (ToF-SIMS) in order to understand the impact of each treatment. This study confirms that copper pillars micro-bumps can be used to self-align photonic integrated circuits (PIC) with another die (for example a microlens array) in order to achieve high throughput alignment of optical fiber to the PIC.","PeriodicalId":6557,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 67th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"17 1","pages":"557-562"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81869095","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}

First, the authors identified the suitable process flows. Within the process flow, laser grooving before plasma dicing was shown to be a key unit process to control resulting die sidewall quality. Significant improvement on laser grooving quality has been demonstrated. Through these efforts, extremely narrow kerfs and near ideal dies strengths were achieved on bare Si dies. Plasma dicing process generates fluorinated polymer residues on both Si die sidewalls and under the topography overhangs on wafer surfaces, such as under the solder balls or microbumps. Certain areas cannot be cleaned by in-chamber post-treatments. Multiple cleaning methods demonstrated process capability and compatibility to singulated dies-on-tape handling. Lastly, although many methods exist commercially for backmetal and DAF separations, the authors' investigation is still inconclusive on one preferred process for post-plasma dicing die separations.","PeriodicalId":6557,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 67th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"104 1","pages":"350-357"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81898701","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}

As a result, CMOS devices fabricated within the stressed Si region will show undesired variations in their electrical performance. This paper reports a novel method to isolate the TSV-induced stress from active CMOS devices through the formation of embedded air-gaps. As the air-gaps are embedded in the Si, stress isolation can be done without compromising on the usable Si area. Formation of the air-gaps have been demonstrated experimentally using a high temperature anneal in a de-oxidizing ambient. Stress reduction in the Si lattice, in the presence of the embedded air-gaps, will be studied through thermo-mechanical stress simulation. Effect of the impact of air-gap design will also be discussed.","PeriodicalId":6557,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 67th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"2 1","pages":"1257-1262"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81990427","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}

This emerging field requires materials, devices, and systems which effectively disappear, (i.e. vaporize), with little or no traceable remains. Prior efforts have achieved transience with devices either submerged in an aqueous solution, which degrades the materials over time, or by triggering an inundation of the materials with a liquid solution. Neither scenario allow for both control of the life cycle of the system and assurance that transience would be complete. Metastable polymers, which can be induced to depolymerize rapidly through a specific trigger, offers a more versatile approach to selecting materials and allows for more control over the device's lifetime. A triggerable, transient material which vaporizes on command was prepared by the addition of a photo-acid generator (PAG) to an acid-sensitive metastable polymer, where the rate of degradation can be controlled by the concentration of the PAG and the intensity of light irradiance. In this work, a transient electronic component, a multilayer interconnect board was fabricated using a PAG-loaded, cyclic poly(phthalaldehyde) substrate. The p(PHA) material used to fabricate the dielectric acts as the support substrate for the metal routing layers, where the conductive 'wiring' was composed of a silver nanoparticle-filled p(PHA) formulation. Elastic modulus, resistivity, connectivity, and conductor sheet resistance of the individual components were evaluated and transience was demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":6557,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 67th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"20 1","pages":"190-196"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82052801","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 key advances with GFO include: 1) large area panel-scalable glass substrate processes with lower cost, 2) silicon-like RDL on large panels with 1-2 µm critical dimensions (CD), 3) lower interconnect loss and 4) improved board-level reliability enabled by the tailorability of the CTE of the glass panels and compliant interconnections. Daisy-chain test dies were used to emulate an embedded device with the size of 6.469 mm × 5.902 mm, thickness of 75 µm and pad pitch of 65 µm. Glass panels with 70 µm thickness and through-glass cavities were first fabricated, and then bonded onto a 50 µm thick glass panel carrier using adhesives. After glass-to-glass bonding, the test dies were assembled into the glass cavities using a high-speed placement tool. RDL polymers were then laminated onto both sides and cured to minimize the warpage of the ultra-thin package. A surface planar tool was then used to planarize the surface of the panel to expose the copper microbumps on the die, followed by a standard semi-additive process (SAP) for the fan-out RDL layer. The shift and warpage of the die were characterized during the multiple process steps. Initial modeling and measured results indicate the potential for less than 5 µm die shift and less than 10-15 µm warpage across a 300 mm × 300 mm panel size.","PeriodicalId":6557,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 67th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"65 1","pages":"41-46"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75803256","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}

Chip carrier made of organic material has been industry standard for the past decade as they provide significant advantages over the ceramic dielectric-based predecessors in manufacturing cost and electrical performance. However, the CTE mismatch between the silicon chip and the organic laminate leads to substantial stress in the laminate particularly at the outmost fiber. Such stress when combined with the temperature fluctuation in field operation, causes low cycle fatigue in dielectric layer and eventually impairs the circuits in the laminate, which is known as dielectric resin cracking failure. During the evolution of organic laminate technology, the demands for high speed transmission drives the need for material with low dielectric loss, which usually is associated with low ductility and in turn makes dielectric resin cracking an even greater concern. A cost effective evaluation method for testing the resin cracking robustness of an interested material before building expensive laminate is therefore critical. This paper focuses on correlation of raw dielectric film material properties and the reliability performance of the corresponding electronic package. A fabricated in-house strain controlled fatigue testing machine will be introduced. The fatigue life vs strain of a typical dielectric material will be discussed. A flip chip package using this dielectric material will be described. Its resin cracking failure rate subjected to thermal cycling stress with various delta T will be illustrated. The thermal-mechanical modeling methodology will be outlined and verification of simulations with experimental results will be presented. A predictive model for correlation of dry film flex fatigue life and the corresponding resin cracking risk in a flip chip package will be proposed.","PeriodicalId":6557,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 67th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"2 1","pages":"491-496"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82239136","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 relative magnetic permeability of ferromagnetic nanofibers becomes negative above the ferromagnetic resonance frequency and induces eddy current in an opposite direction of that of non-ferromagnetic conductor, resulting in eddy current cancellation. This ultimately suppresses the skin effect contributing to the reduction of radio frequency resistance. For nanofiber fabrication, an alternating electrospinning technique is utilized to improve the nanofiber growth rate and increase the thickness of the nanofiber stack. Aligned nanofibers are obtained by dynamically rotating mandrel combined with alternating electrospinning.
