The lack of information about the underfill material type together with its material properties can be a real hindrance to researchers when they deal with simulations involved with various underfills. Therefore, getting the correct material properties of underfill materials can enhance the reliability of simulation results to achieve the optimal solution, which significantly reduces experiment costs and time. A novel identification method for cured underfill materials from assembled packages is presented in this paper. Because the underfill materials are tiny size, insoluble in organic solvent and hard to harvest issues, the Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy microscope Attenuated total reflectance (FT-IR Microscope ATR) have been proposed as a proper method to detect the underfill materials from assembled package. The fingerprint region of each material spectrum is chosen to apply the chemometrics to build the discriminant models. The soft independent modeling of class analogy (SIMCA) method is used to create a classification model that exhibits a high discrimination power ratio. By increasing the number of training sets and the confidence limit, the SIMCA model showed almost 100% accuracy on identification of UF1230, EP1641, SMT88U, and SMC-375TGSF5, which indicates its superior ability to discriminate underfill material with low risk of misclassification. In this study, the method of collecting dispensed or cured underfill material data from assembled packages is also presented.","PeriodicalId":6722,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 70th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"2317-2324"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91123866","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}

Standard drop tests refer the JEDEC specification (JESD22-B111) for PCB design and testing conditions. There are several studies about the board level drop reliability of electronic products to focus on the solder joint failure mechanism (e.g., the crack location and characteristics) under the JEDEC standard. However, the literatures lack a study of the correlation of the PCB dynamic strain and solder joint stress during the board level drop impact and real product system level shock test. In this work, a 15x15 mm2 Quad Flat No Leads (QFN) package which is Wi-Fi module function used in industry scanner product was chosen to measure the peak acceleration and PCB strain under 1.2 meter height system level free drop. The maximum PCB strain would be used to correlate with standard board level drop tests to measure and calculate acceleration response. From the result, it shows that at similar PCB strain response the system level free drop tests peak acceleration is about 2900G and the board level drop tests peak acceleration is about 325G.Besides, the 3D transient numerical model based on the support excitation scheme was also performed to obtain thorough understanding of structural responses of the test vehicle and reliability of its solder joints under different test conditions. This model would be used to compute solder joint maximum interfacial normal and shear stresses. A fatigue reliability model that predicts the drop counts for different drop test conditions of JEDEC drop test condition: B (1500 G; 0.5 ms) and system-like condition: (325 G; 0.576 ms) was established. This study provides an accurate and reliable way to understand the correlation between system level and board level drop tests solder joint stress and to help to achieve service life improvements in early development stage.","PeriodicalId":6722,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 70th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"90 1","pages":"1509-1516"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78109519","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}

While this development began in the consumer electronics sector, Cu wires are now increasingly advancing into applications with challenging environmental conditions and high reliability requirements, such as the automotive sector. Typically, core material of Cu wire (bare Cu / palladium coated Cu wire - PCC) is 99.99wt% Cu. In order to apply PCC wire to automotive devices, the wire material must meet the demands for long term reliability specific to automobile including stable operation under harsh environment. To achieve this, bonding wire suppliers use small amounts of additive elements in Cu core to enhance the long-term reliability.In the meantime, several types of high reliability Cu wires are available in the market. However, there are only few papers describing/comparing the effect of the additive elements used. The mechanism and progress state of degradation behavior (corrosion) depend on the type of additive element, especially for severe high temperature storage life (HTS) test. Therefore, it is very important to understand the effect of additive elements.We investigated the degradation mechanism of Cu wire bond contacts with different type of additive elements. Subsequently to challenging artifact-free preparation routines, high resolution analyzes (SEM, transmission electron microscopy - TEM, nano-spot EDS, electron beam diffraction - EBD) were carried out on ball and stitch bond contacts to clarify the effect caused by the additives. Mechanical bond tests (pull test) were also performed, and the correlation to the result of micro-structural analyzes were studied. The results of this investigation will be valuable information for the wire users in selecting the optimal wire material required for automotive devices.","PeriodicalId":6722,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 70th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"37 1","pages":"774-781"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82302057","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}

Depending on the application and mission profile, design and package technology need to be targeted in order to fit the best the given requirements.When sensors work in harsh environments like in automotive applications, system is subject to very aggressive thermal cycles. Neglecting cost aspects, main and conflicting features are electrical performance stability and package board level reliability.Due to the high mechanical stiffness and due to the coefficient of thermal expansion matched versus that of silicon, ceramic cavity packages limit the stress transfer to the MEMS sensor ensuring high performance in terms of stability. However, the substantial mechanical proprieties discrepancy compared to that of PCB, implies stress absorption at solder joint level causing reduced board level reliability performance. Cavity packages based on organic substrate, show opposite behavior. If on the one hand they shift the stress concentration toward the substrate increasing board level reliability, on the other they worsen package-to-MEMS decoupling and thus the stability performance.In this paper a hybrid package is presented to achieve optimal trade-off between stability and reliability requirements. Proposed solution is based on a Si-interposer glue-bonded on the substrate, ASIC and MEMS dice are attached on top of it. Si-interposer provides stiff substrate with low coefficient of thermal expansion ensuring package-to-MEMS decoupling. Organic substrate shifts stress concentration to the interposer DA material increasing board level reliability performance.Numerical analysis has been performed to properly design the package. Focus is given to solder joint reliability at the thermal cycles. Experimental solder joint reliability test and electrical performance characterization are finally presented to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approach.","PeriodicalId":6722,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 70th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"36 1","pages":"425-431"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78463819","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 is driving an unprecedented demand to increase the variety of advanced packages, such as chiplets and TSV (Through Silicon Via) interposer packaging solutions. It is expected that the industry will see more exciting interconnect technologies of advanced wafer level packaging such as TSV, 2.5D interposers, TSV-less (die last), eWLB (embedded Wafer Level Ball Grid Array)/FOWLP (Fan Out Wafer Level Package) to meet these needs. Because demands of die size reduction, efficiency enhancement and lower power consumption are always required in mobile communication applications with advanced Si node, much finer line width/space (LW/LS) and die pad pitch design is utilized. However, when the finer LW/LS design is used in the advanced Si node electronic devices, not only will there be an increased cost, but also the substrate manufacturing capability in a flip chip package must be considered. The substrate technology with finer LW/LS of 5/5μm and below currently is still a tough challenge in manufacturing. Therefore, in order to deliver a cost-efficient, fine pitch interconnection, highly integrated and performance packaging solution, the FOMIP (Fan-out Mediatek Innovation Package) technology is introduced in this paper. The FOMIP technology adopts 2.5D eWLB and flip chip package technologies with the design of 60μm die pad pitch, 5/5μm LW/LS and 1 layer redistribution layer (RDL) to extend the interconnection pitch as minimum 80μm by Cu pillar bumping process. The assembly challenges and process development including how to optimize the equipment handling and the warpage characterization of molded wafer is present. The warpage of molded wafer with Cu pillar bumps is collected to analyze different processes before eWLB package singulation. The molded eWLB package is adopted as a flip chip die to attach on a 2-layers embedded trace substrate (ETS) with LW/LS of 10/10μm by using cost-effective mass reflow (MR) chip attach process. To examine the quality and yield of the structure, package level long-term reliability tests are performed. Based on these results, it is believed that this examined FOMIP technology can be a robust, low profile and cost-effective package solution when much finer LW/LS and pitches in the die level design are utilized, such as 40μm die pad pitch with 2/2μm LW/LS and 1 layer RDL design and below.","PeriodicalId":6722,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 70th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"99 1","pages":"867-872"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79266263","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}

In our study, the accelerated EM tests of Wafer-level Chip Scale Package (WCSP or WLCSP) samples are conducted under 4 different pulsed DC conditions: 0.1 Hz pulsed DC with duty factors (DFs) of 33%, 50%, 75%, and 100% (DC). The result of our testing suggests that there are at least two competing factors affecting the failure rate in an opposite manner under pulsed DC EM conditions. Specifically, when compared with the cumulative damage model (estimates the damage only during the on period), the failure kinetics is found to be more accelerated at high DF and decelerated at a lower DF. This conclusion is drawn from the observation that the EM failure rate shows an extremely nonlinear relationship with the DF and also that the failure occurs faster under a high DF than under solely DC conditions, which is not possible without a mechanism assisting the EM failure. Furthermore, it is found that there is a 2- stage resistance change before EM failure, an indication of the change in the dominant failure mechanism. The results may indicate that the pulsed DC effect on the EM failure mechanism is far more complex than anticipated with the possible involvement of a damage mechanism other than EM such as thermal fatigue.","PeriodicalId":6722,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 70th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"289 1","pages":"723-728"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76745708","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}

Existing electrical and physical failure analysis tools do not have adequate resolution to accurately localize the failure in 2.5D IC. In this paper, we present a non-destructive methodology to carry out the failure analysis by localizing the defects which are entirely internal to the package and inaccessible from the exterior. In a through silicon interposer based FPGA package, a short failure has been successfully located with an accuracy of less than 10μm without the need for any sample preparation.
