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}

With our innovatively designed controllable manufacturing technique, graphene does not need to be dispersed or blended with non-conductive binders. Instead, the graphene particles are randomly distributed at the surface of the skin-like substrates (i.e., medical tapes) without using any binder within a very short time (less than milliseconds). Strain sensing tests were conducted on those electronic skins, revealing that after relatively long-term tensile tests, the strain sensitivity of the electronic skin kept at a high level with good linearity, stability, and repeatability. As no binder is needed, the skin sensors were found to possess high sensitivity by a demonstration of detecting air follow pressure as low as ~2.5 Pa. Furthermore, the capability of detecting sound has been demonstrated, indicating that they can potentially act as artificial eardrums in the future.","PeriodicalId":6722,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 70th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"9 1","pages":"685-689"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79984014","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}

LCDs are very inefficient, only a small fraction (~5%) of the generated light exits the display. To achieve highbrightness LCDs, practitioners create extremely bright back-light units using inorganic LEDs which require expensive and unreliable active cooling solutions. OLEDs use organic molecules to form light emitting diodes within each display pixel. The lifetime of the organic light emitters is inversely proportional with the display brightness; therefore, OLEDs are not suitable for highbrightness applications. In sharp contrast, inorganic LEDs made using wafer-level semiconductor technology are long-lived, even when operating at high luminance. Displays that use inorganic LEDs as the light-emitters within each display pixel already dominate the giant video walls that increasingly decorate our highways and streetscapes. Today, there are many efforts around the world aimed at making highly miniaturized inorganic LEDs, called microLEDs, and developing methods to transfer those microLEDs from their native substrate to the destination display substrate. Effective techniques to produce microLED displays must have the capability to quickly and accurately transfer millions of microscale devices and are called \"mass transfer\" technologies. Micro-transfer-printing using elastomer stamps is one such \"mass transfer\" technology that has been used to produce prototype microLED displays. Here, we will describe how micro-transfer-printing combined with wafer-level packaging techniques can produce highbrightness displays. We will provide fabrication details and characterization results of various 5.1\" 70 PPI microLED displays. In one example, we produced a monochrome green display using 8 μm x 15 μm flip-chip InGaN microLEDs with a maximum brightness in excess of 30,000 nits. We will highlight application opportunities and remaining challenges for high-brightness displays using microLEDs.","PeriodicalId":6722,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 70th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"58 1","pages":"175-181"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81588908","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}

During the bonding process, the top wafer is deformed and the wafer surface is oblique from the bonding front to the edge, thereby forming a wedge-shaped flow field with a wider gap toward the edge. In this flow field, acceleration of the flow rate occurs and expansion due to pressure drop occurs. This expansion also lowers the temperature. When the temperature is sufficiently low, the vapor aggregates and the droplet condenses at the edge for wafer. Experiment on condensation reduction is difficult because of the inability to observe the flow space between wafers. It is only through numerical analysis to observe phenomena occurring in the wafer flow filed and use them to improve process recipe. In this study, numerical analysis is used to observe the condensation occurring at the edge. Numerical method enables the phase change of microscale and interface capture based on lattice Boltzmann, and added the theoretical basis for molecular behavior by adding interatomic potential including electrostatic potential of hydrogen bond. This numerical model was used to analyze the flow between wafers during bonding process and to simulate temperature drop and vapor condensation. It was observed that the vapor density decreased with time and then increased again. When the temperature is sufficiently low, the vapor aggregates and the density of the vapor increases again. A rapid rising in vapor density was observed below 2.5°C. The higher the wettability of the surface, the lower the vapor density at the cold spot. Due to the high wettability of the wafer surface, vapor is dispersed throughout the surface, and thus the amount of vapor that aggregates at the cold spot is reduced. If the wettability is higher than a certain level, a regime in which the width of the generated droplet increases with wettability appears. As a result, an optimum contact angle with minimum droplet width appears, but this may not be optimal in terms of bonding strength.","PeriodicalId":6722,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 70th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"29 1","pages":"1646-1652"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81261582","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}

Proper functioning of these interconnections and the reliability of the electronic packages depend largely on the mechanical properties of the solder joints. Lead free solders are common as interconnects in electronic packaging due to their relatively high melting point, attractive mechanical properties, thermal cycling reliability, and environment friendly chemical properties. However, environmental conditions, such as, operating temperature, aging temperature, and aging time significantly affect these properties due to the microstructural evolution of the solder that occurs during aging. Moreover, electronic devices, sometimes experience harsh environment applications including well drilling, geothermal energy, automotive power electronics, and aerospace engines, where solders are exposed to very high temperatures from T = 125-200 °C. Mechanical properties as well as microstructural study of lead free solders at elevated temperatures are limited in literature. Previous investigations on the microstructural evolution mainly emphasized on aging at temperatures up to 125 °C. In addition, those studies were limited on investigating the coarsening of Ag3Sn IMC particles within the beta-Sn matrix.In this work, the microstructural evolution of SAC305 (96.5Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu) BGA joints were investigated for different aging conditions utilizing Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). In particular, our approach has been to monitor aging induced microstructural changes occurring within fixed regions in selected lead free solder joints, and to create time-lapse imagery of the microstructure evolution. Aging was performed at T = 150 °C for several durations up to 20 days, and the topography of the microstructure of a fixed region was captured using the SEM system. This process generated several images of the microstructure as the aging progressed. We have also explored the Mechanical behavior, and aging effects of SAC305 solder joints at extreme high testing temperatures of T = 150 °C using the method of nanoindentation. To study the aging effects, solder joints were preconditioned for 0, 1, 5, 10, and 30 days at T = 125 °C in a box oven. Nanoindentation testing was then performed on the aged specimens at a test temperature of T = 150 °C to extract the elastic modulus, hardness, and creep performance of the aged material.As expected, the analysis of the evolving SAC305 BGA microstructure showed a significant amount of diffusion of silver and copper in the beta-tin matrix during aging. In addition, the growth of the copper-tin layer at the solder joint and copper pad interface at the PCB side has been visualized, and then measured as a function of aging time and temperature. Quantitative analysis of the evolving microstructure showed that the particles coalesced during aging leading to a decrease in the total number of par","PeriodicalId":6722,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 70th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"1894-1903"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82933086","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 diplexers are designed using miniaturized, doubly- terminated bandpass filters which cover the 5G new radio (NR) mm-wave bands: n257, n258 and n260. Two different types of filters: hairpin and edge-coupled are modeled, designed and optimized for this non-contiguous diplexer demonstration. Since diplexer is a three-port device, the considerations for optimum RF performance as well as characterization are included in the modeling phase. From the fabrication standpoint, unlike conventional etching processes, panel-scale semi-additive patterning (SAP) process is utilized to form high-precision, fine-feature redistribution layers (RDL) on ultra-thin glass substrates to accurately realize the aforementioned passive components. These diplexers can be integrated with antennas on the top layer of a multilayered 5G module or they can be utilized as integrated passive devices (IPDs). An appropriately sized ground plane is sufficient to isolate the rest of the system from these diplexers, making them ideal for applications such as heterogeneously-integrated packages.
