The chip-on-chip (COC) package in which a controller IC chip is adhered to a power MOSFET chip with a polyimide film is described. In the heat cycle test, the polyimide film showed a good performance but the mold resin used was delaminated from the IC chip surface. From the experimental and the thermal stress simulation, we demonstrate that the resin delamination is prevented by the polyimide film with a small thermal expansion coefficient. Thus we have successfully developed the high reliable COC package promising for automotive application.

A novel assembly method for electronic devices replacing conventional methods is demanded. Self-organization assembly method using resin containing solder fillers has the possibilities to replace them. The method enables us to form reliable interconnects equal to that of solder bump method with underfilling, through low cost process like that using Anisotropic Conductive Adhesives (ACAs) with flexibility against design change. The process of this method is based on movement, coalescence, and wetting phenomena of the solder fillers. And the coalescence phenomena were focused on. Activator is contained in the resin to eliminate the oxide films around the solder fillers. The particle-size distribution after heating process ensured the effects of the oxides and the activator on the coalescence, which is essential for forming of conductive paths. In-situ observations and temporal change of coalescence frequency revealed that 110°C pre-heating for 4 minutes make the activator eliminate the oxide film enough before melting of the fillers, enables fillers to coalesce well.

Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) boards are being widely used for a number of applications to enable products in a three dimensional format thereby utilizing the “dead” space within the product envelop. During the past few years, the usage and complexity of FPC made of polyimide, polyester or teflon have grown substantially and are expected to continue to grow even more in the next coming years. In the past these FPC's have been connected to other FPC's or to a PCB with help of mainly connectors but the interest of replacing these connectors with a lower cost and smaller footprint connections with help of Anisotropic Conductive Film (ACF) is being widely explored. This paper will report the development of fine pitch ACF bonding down to 0,2mm and the mechanical and thermo-mechanical reliability of the ACF interconnects. The influence of difference process parameters and ACF materials on the ACF process yield will be discussed as well.

In this study, the performances of the micropump with active type diaphragm actuated by thermoelectric and piezoelectric have been compared. Finite element analysis (FEA) by ANSYS®8.1 had used to simulate and analyze the deflection of the diaphragm. The FEA model actuated by thermoelectric and piezoelectric is validated by the available data. The success of the model in predicting the displacement of the diaphragm provides further encouragement in using the model to compare the diaphragm deflection actuated by difference actuated method but with same diaphragm size and actuated power. The optimized design by using thermoelectric actuator has then been shown.

Process window for Electro-chemical Deflash (ED) and High Pressure Water Jet (HPWJ) should be very well defined to ensure complete removal of organic materials on the surface of the frame prior to Metal Finishing (MF). This will help in ensuring complete coverage and good adhesion of metal finish. This will likewise avoid potential package defects like chipping, crack and delamination. In establishing the optimum window for ON Semiconductor Philippines Inc. (OSPI). ED and HPWJ . benchmarking study was performed and results were discussed to the selected Original Engineering Material (OEM) for the design of the machine. The benchmarking activity helped to determine potential failures of the process, the controls needed to monitor the process and the resources to set-up the machine. The resulting design was characterized using the Machine Process Capability Study (MPCpS). This involves five stages such as: 1) Process characterization where each machine and process parts and functions are defined. 2) Metrology characterization where response measuring equipment's precision and accuracy are tested and ensured capable prior to proceeding into the next stage. 3) Machine and Process Capability determination where sets of experiments are performed to determine the capability from the affected process up to the last process step. 4) Optimization if the process is found not capable or Machine and Process cliff if found capable. In this stage, window where the process will fail is determined, and finally 5) Control to ensure that defined capable window is maintained during production. OSPI's well characterized Deflash process has eliminated problems like Missing Lead Finish (MLF) and Resin Bleed (RB). It has also reduced Foreign Material problem by 90% and Tape and Reel final gate problem by 42%. It has helped increase Trim and Form's productivity by 25% by eliminating tin flakes on non-functional areas of the frame. Most of all, since the implementation of this project, there was no observed occurrence of package related problems.

This technical paper presents the ultra low loop height challenges faced in the development of miniaturized SOT-923 package. It is drawn from the package development experiences for Flat Lead packages of 0.8 mm × 0.6 mm × 0.4 mm (SOD-923) which was successfully developed and introduced commercially. This product is mainly used on hand-held applications where the size has become smaller. Therefore, loop height is needed to be controlled very low. In order to achieve such low loop height, several solutions have been considered: i) Bonding mode selection; ii) capillary selection for ultra low loop requirement; iii) development of special bonding parameters for ultra low loop control. iv) final product quality evaluation and reliability requirement which included wire pull test, ball shear test, wire peeling test and reliability test.

After encapsulation, thermo-mechanical deformation builds up within the electronic packages due to temperature coefficient of expansion mismatch between the respective materials within the package as it cools to room temperature. As the trends in semiconductor packages continue toward a decrease in overall package size and an increase in functionality and performance requirements, they bring challenges of processing, handling, and understanding smaller components and, in particular, thinner dies. One of the reliability problems, die crack, becomes more serious due to the larger die area compared with package size, thinner thickness and thermal mismatch between the respective materials within the package. Die strength can be adversely affected during various manufacturing processes, such as grinding and chipping. A realistic understanding of the significance of processing on die strength is gained through the study of the actual, processed component. This work try to find the simple test method for determination of die strength to improve the scatter and try to differentiate the factors that affect the variability of die strength, in order to find out the causes of the weakness of the die strength. The surface conditions (roughness) of the specimens are determined by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and correlated to failure strength. A practical example is presented here that die cracking analysis has been done for a chip array thin core BGA (CTBGA) during thermal cycling. The die stress is calculated based on the finite element analysis (FEA) of CTBGA and the FEA-predicted die stress is used to predict the die failure rate compared with the experiment results.

With the increasing requirement for lead-free solders, it is desired to know how different solder alloys affect on reliability of microelectronic assembly. Some fatigue life models for Sn-Ag-Cu (SAC) solder have been developed by researchers. The Ni-dopant lead free solder is increasingly used in electronic packages due to its good drop performance. Currently, it lacks the fatigue life model for Ni doped SAC solder. In this paper, thermal cycling test and finite element simulation were conducted for 5 FBGA (Fine pitch BGA) assemblies with Sn-Ag-Cu-Ni (SACN) lead free solder. The thermal fatigue life prediction model was developed for FBGA assemblies with SACN solder by combining experimental and simulation results. The good correlation between predicted and experimental lives was achieved. In addition, the effect of geometry and loading condition on solder joint predicted life was investigated based on the finite element simulation result and the developed life model.
