The advancement of fan-out WLP has made it a more promising solution as compared with fan-in WLP, because it can offer greater flexibility in enabling more IO's, multi-chips, heterogeneous integration and 3D SiP. In particular, Embedded Wafer Level BGA (eWLB) is a fan-out WLP solution which can enable applications that require higher input/output (I/O) density, smaller form factor, excellent heat dissipation, and thin package profile, and it has the potential to evolve in various configurations with proven integration flexibility, process robustness, manufacturing capacity and production yield. It also provides integration of multiple dies vertically and horizontally in a single package without substrates. For eWLB fan-out WLP, the structural design as well as selection of materials is very important in determining the process yield and long term reliability. Therefore it is necessary to investigate the key design factors affecting the reliability comprehensively. This work is focused on an experimental study on the chip-package interactions in 10x10~15x15mm 28nm eWLB fan-out WLP with multiple redistribution layers (RDLs). Standard JEDEC component and board level tests were carried out to investigate reliability, and both destructive and non-destructive analyses were performed to investigate potential structural defects. Electrical characterization was also studied for both simulation and experimental works. The influence of structural design on the package reliability will be demonstrated. Thermal characterization and thermo-mechanical simulation results will also be discussed.","PeriodicalId":6557,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 67th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"49 1","pages":"581-586"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78982707","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}

Lall","doi":"10.1109/ECTC.2017.336","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ECTC.2017.336","url":null,"abstract":"In this work, we have used nanoindentation methods to explore the creep behavior, and aging effects of SAC305 solder joints at several elevated testing temperatures from 25 to 125 oC. A special high temperature stage and test protocol was used within the nanoindentation system to carefully control the testing temperature, and make the measurements insensitive to thermal drift problems. Solder joints were extracted from 14 × 14 mm PBGA assemblies (0.8 mm ball pitch, 0.46 mm ball diameter) that were built as part of the iNEMI Characterization of Pb-Free Alloy Alternatives Project. Since the properties of SAC solder joints are highly dependent on crystal orientation, polarized light microscopy was utilized to determine the orientation of the tested joints. For all the experiments, only single grain solder joints were used to avoid introducing any unintentional variation from changes in the crystal orientation across the joint cross-section. After extraction, the single grain solder joints were subjected to various aging conditions. Nanoindentation testing was then performed on the aged specimens at five different testing temperatures (T = 25, 50, 75, 100, and 125 oC). In order to understand creep response of the solder joints at different temperatures, a constant force at max indentation was applied for 900 sec while the creep displacements were monitored. With this approach, we were able to measure the creep strain rate as a function of both temperature and prior aging conditions. As expected, our results have shown that indent/testing temperature has a significant impact on the mechanical properties and creep strain rate of solder joints. The measured data have also shown that the effects of aging on solder joints properties become much more significant as the testing temperature increases. In particular, the aging induced degradation rates at high temperatures (100-125 oC) were more than 100X those seen at room temperature. Nanoindentation pile-up effects, although insignificant at room temperature, were observed during high-temperature testing and corrections were made to limit their influence on the test results.","PeriodicalId":6557,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 67th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"69 1","pages":"1128-1135"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77896916","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}

Our original approach required a customization of a standard fiber component, which could limit cost-efficiency and scalability. Here, we demonstrate a novel approach to fiber assembly employing off-the-shelf fiber components only. The new concept employs a dual vacuum pick-tip that can be integrated in standard high-throughput microelectronic tooling. We validate this approach with assemblies of standard 12-fiber interfaces to nanophotonic chips.

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.

Thermal issue has become an important concern in IC designing and manufacturing. Fan-out wafer level package (FOWLP), as one of the most popular packaging trends lately, compared to high cost through silicon via (TSV) based 3D integration method, requires system level thermal management. 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. Equivalent and anisotropic thermal conductivity is calculated and modified concerning FOWLP structure and material thermal properties. A chip-first face-up fan-out package with 100 pads and 100 bumps is modeled and simulated, with mesh elements number drops from 874836 to 174810. With more than 80% computation consumption saved, less than 2% difference in total temperature rise is obtained compared with detail simulation.","PeriodicalId":6557,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 67th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"137 1","pages":"2054-2059"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80091122","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}
