Good processes control enables to get narrow standard deviations for the microbumps height (0.2 µm) and diameter (0.4 µm). Assembly was studied with chip to wafer (CtW) test vehicles by either mass reflow (MR) or thermo-compression (TC) with or without non-conductive paste (NCP). MR and TC processes result in suitable CtW alignments without significant defects at bonding interface. TC NCP assembly suffers from larger misalignment and underfill entrapment, reducing top to bottom bonding section. Consequently, unit electrical resistance is lower for MR and TC processes with ~25 m ascribed to pure vertical link, than for TC NCP process exhibiting ~50 m vertical link with larger standard deviation (15 m versus 2 m). Intermetallic compounds have been studied and Ni3Sn4 proves to be the main contributor for electrical resistance in our configuration where SnAg is sandwiched between 2 Ni layers. Electrical yield measured on daisy chains is very good (close to or higher than 90%) for MR or TC, even on more than 20,000 interconnects. For TC NCP, electrical yield remains to be improved, particularly on large daisy chains. Finally, an original electrical test has been designed and successfully implemented to characterize top to bottom misalignment. These results are promising for future high performance computing products that would require 20 µm pitch microbumps.","PeriodicalId":6557,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 67th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"82 1","pages":"999-1007"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91402536","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}

A possible best high-Q inductor can be achieved is by Glass based solenoid inductor. In addition, 3D IPD process is another approach to reduce package size and increase functionality. In this paper, the fabrication process of IPD, based on 8\" glass wafer with Through Glass Via (TGV) to form the 3D solenoid inductor is presented.

In this paper, a novel vapor phase infiltration (VPI) technique is applied to create an organic-inorganic hybrid dielectric surface that improves metal-polymer adhesion. The VPI process infuses inorganic constituents to a depth of at least 3 microns, as revealed by elemental analysis using SEM-EDX and XPS depth profiles. In preliminary testing, Cu/Cr films deposited onto these modified polymer surfaces exhibit 3x higher peel strength than metal films deposited on untreated polymer.","PeriodicalId":6557,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 67th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"34 1","pages":"150-155"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90713887","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}

Thermal management of modern high power LEDs is crucial for their lifetime. An important aspect is the thermal path for heat conduction. Many different defects can have an influence on this path of an electronic system: on the one hand process failures during production, e.g. voids inside the solder joint, on the other hand typical failures induced by thermo-mechanical stress during their lifetime, like cracks in the solder joint or delamination in the package. The transient thermal analysis (TTA) is a powerful tool to detect changes in the thermal path. Due to improvements in the TTA method during the last years, not only cracks can be detected but also failure modes can be separated, and the root cause can be analyzed by support of transient finite element analysis. In this paper, transient thermal testing is applied and further developed, to monitor the structural integrity of new wafer level LED packages during thermal stress testing. Failure modes are defined and separated. For failure analysis the different defects are simulated by transient finite element analysis and correlated to the TTA results. The simulation results, that solder cracks increase the peak height of the derivative of the transient thermal curves (b(z)). A delamination of an inner layer of the LED package creates additionally to the increase of the peak height also a separation of the b(z) curves between 1 µs and 5 µs.

Full scale numerical simulation as a critical procedure is facing huge difficulties, such as huge structure size variation, huge thermal properties variation, in-plane and off-plane displacement, etc. Equivalent thermal conductivity model (ETCM) based full scale numerical simulation for thermal management, which has already been applied to TSV based 3-D ICs with computation consumption significantly decreased, is applied to Fan-out packages in this paper.
