Graphene was added to the electrolyte of Cu to form composite materials to improve the performance of Cu for interconnection. Composite electrolyte containing high concentration of graphene (up to 0.5 g/L) was prepared by adding CTAB as surfactant. And ultrasound was also used to increase dispersion degree and reduce graphene agglomeration in electrolyte. Average coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of the composite films determined by thermo-mechanical analysis (TMA) shows a decrease from 17.3 ppm/K to 14.2 ppm/K from 260 K to 320 K, which reduce CTE by 18 % compared with Cu. CTE of the composite materials can be reduced to 10 ppm/K at 243 K, which is only 60 % of CTE of Cu. The thermal conductivity of the composite materials measured by phase sensitive transient thermo-reflectance (PSTTR) technique shows an improvement from 385 W/m.K to 468 W/m.K. CTE and thermal conductivity of the composite materials both decrease with the increase of current density. And they also both increase with the increase of graphene concentration. The composite materials also show good mechanical properties. The average hardness is 2.5 GPa, which is about 2 times of Cu. And the average elastic modulus is 145 GPa, which is 38 % higher than that of Cu. The resistivity of the composite materials is basically equivalent to that of pure Cu. Result of the experiment proved that the composite materials have better performance under low temperature conditions. The improvement of material properties makes composite materials have good application prospects for 3D interconnection in the near future.","PeriodicalId":6726,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 69th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"8 1","pages":"2234-2239"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90657814","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 novel and promising approach is the embedding of power semiconductor devices into PCB-materials. Benefits are the reduction in size and volume of the system. The embedding of semiconductor devices provides a high degree of miniaturization. Also printed circuit board technology in combination with the use of established processes apparently has the potential for low-cost manufacturing. Further functional advantages are the possibility to place passive components and peripheral circuits close to the switching devices, enabling shorter commutating paths. In consequence, they are expected to produce smaller parasitic effects caused by the package, which results in higher possible frequencies and reduced conduction and switching losses. However, there is a significant challenge regarding package design, processing, and materials selection to make use of this potential even at high operating temperatures. To address only one aspect, generally used materials, like epoxy-glass-substrates (FR4) and solder alloys like PbSnAg or SAC are not suitable for temperatures above 150 °C. This work will introduce and evaluate a concept for double-side Ag-sintered semiconductor chips, which are embedded between two organic high-temperature PCBs. A proof-of-concept will be presented by setting up a 30 kW (600 V, 50 A) power package as a demonstrator.","PeriodicalId":6726,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 69th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"20 1","pages":"1443-1450"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76496426","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 this paper, a system-on-chip millimeter-wave ultra-short range radar (mmWave USRR) realized in complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology and assembled with fan-out wafer level packaging (FOWLP) technology was introduced, and the board-level reliability (BLR) was studied experimentally on the risk of chip-to-board interaction (CBI). The factors of solder ball material, package thickness and underfill material, thought to dominate on CBI performance, were studied experimentally. First of all, two solder materials were studied to evaluate their capabilities for this FOWLP to against board level thermal cycling and drop tests. It was found that the solder with higher elastic modulus performed much better on board-level thermal cycling (BLTC) reliability. Moreover, no difference was found in board level drop test since no failure occurred in both solder materials. Both package thicknesses of 425 µm and 580 µm were studied on the board level reliabilities, and the results revealed that the design with both thicker Si die and thicker molding material significantly improved the BLTC reliability. Both epoxy-based materials - one is low-CTE underfill material and the other is edge-bond glue, were applied to know the workability of enhancing the BLTC performance on the FOWLP. The experiment results showed that both the epoxy materials miserably decreased the BLTC performance, and severe solder crack and bulk underfill crack were found. Since vibration test is indispensable and of much concern for automotive electronics, the stringent test condition of sine-wave frequency swept from 20 Hz to 2,000 Hz and peak acceleration of either 50g or 20g, was applied to evaluate anti-vibration property of the FOWLP mTV mounted on daisy-chain PCB. From the results of 50g peak acceleration vibration test, high resistance was found in the specific daisy-chain loop which electrically connects corner solder balls. From the failure analysis it could be found that delamination existed at the interface of redistribution layer (RDL) and under-bump metallization (UBM) of component side and PCB Cu trace crack. It is noteworthy that all the failures only happened on the package located at the 5x3 array corner while subjecting to Z-axis vibration. From experience, poorly fixing the PCB on vibration platform potentially causes more bending stain on PCB during Z-direction vibration and further concentrates much higher stress singularly nearby the corner. Moreover, the board-level vibration test with 20g peak acceleration was also implemented, and there wasn't any failure found. Finally, the BLR was thoroughly studied for the extremely large area-ratio FOWLP, and the package was proved its capability of meeting AEC-Q100 compl","PeriodicalId":6726,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 69th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"25 1","pages":"493-497"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87516626","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}

Current silver sinter technology required plating of precious metal finishing on the substrates prior to sintering process in order to form a strong sinter joint. Direct bonding on non-precious metal surfaces by silver sintering is therefore of great interest, since the precious metal finishing on substrate is no longer necessary, which will lead to the reduction of manufacturing cost. This paper explores the development of a safe-to-use micro-silver sinter paste for pressure sintering on aluminum and nickel surfaces. In this study, Ag metallized Si dies were attached on nickel-plated direct copper bonding substrates and high purity aluminum plates by silver sintering process at 250 °C with a pressure of 10 MPa for 3 min in air atmosphere. The cross-sectional SEM images of sintered samples indicate that a dense sintered layer was formed on Ni and Al surface. After die shear test, SEM-EDX was conducted on the fracture surface of Ni and Al substrates and the results confirmed that silver sintered joint was created on Ni and Al surface. The EDX analysis results further illustrate an interdiffusion of Ag/Ni and Ag/Al occurred at the interface located between sintered layer and substrates. High bonding strength of silver sintered joint was created on Ni and Al surfaces and the average die shear strength remained above 30 N/mm² after 500 h storage at 250 °C. Cohesive break in the sintered layer was obtained for both Ni and Al samples before and after high temperature storage where silver sintered layer can be found on both the die backside and the substrate surface indicating that good adhesion on Ni and Al surfaces was achieved with the newly developed silver sinter paste.","PeriodicalId":6726,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 69th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"19 1","pages":"87-93"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72847118","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 especially impactful to integrated photonics as used for high speed optical communication and sensors [1,2]. Assembly yield hinges on the details of solder-induced forces and on the geometry of the melted solder surface. Low curvature of melted solder is best to balance solder forces for optimal re-alignment yield but leads to shallow contact angles and solder de-wetting on traditional solder pads. We introduce and demonstrate the concept of recessed solder pads with shallow angled edges. Such geometry enables arbitrarily-low curvature of the molten solder surface and even flat or slightly concave shapes. The solder stays anchored at the angled edges of recessed pads and can be made to flow in long and narrow conduits. Both aspects are key to widening the fabrication and process window for the solder-induced chip-alignment technology.","PeriodicalId":6726,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 69th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC)","volume":"78 1","pages":"528-534"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81185074","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 bonding process has low throughput and cannot overcome the challenge of scaling below 40 µm pitch. These are compelling reasons to seek an alternative approach such as hybrid bonding. The pursuit of fine pitch die stacking with TSV interconnect using hybrid bonding is pervasive in the packaging industry today due to the promise of improved performance. Specifically, the Cu interconnect provides improved thermal and electrical performance and the all inorganic interface of the complete die stack offers enhanced thermal-mechanical performance and reliability in the final chip stack. Direct Bond Interconnect technology, also known as low temperature hybrid bonding, forms a spontaneous dielectric-to-dielectric bond at room temperature and then establishes metal-to-metal connection (usually Cu-to-Cu bond) by a low temperature batch annealing process (150 – 300°C). The direct bond process eliminates the need for solder and underfill and associated problems. While the hybrid bonding exists today in wafer-towafer (W2W) format in high volume manufacturing, chip to wafer (C2W) bonding developed for future product lines is making significant process in the past three years. A bonding process with high throughput has been demonstrated with electrical test yield above 90% with a daisy chain structure that covers 50mm^2 of bonding area. The bonded parts showed superior reliability performance in temperature cycling, high temperature storage and autoclave testing.
