Tape dicing concept is most commonly used in miniature QFN package singulation process due to its low operating cost and high throughput [1]. Processing with strip based material, starting from saw singulation to unit transfer into reel tape, while sawn unit still intact on dicing tape, robust process is needed as well as short cycle time for productivity. Currently, there are 2 common tape dicing methods. Firstly, strip cutting method, and secondly, strip to panel cutting method [2]. Both methods have pros & cons respectively. Nevertheless, in order to improve cycle time, extreme processing method is needed without jeopardizing the processing quality. Introducing this strip chopping cut method enables singulation process of maximum unit density per 12 inches wafer ring and processing abnormal lead frame design with thick metal side rail and moulded-only layer on panel. This method needs dicing blade to directly touch down on top of moulded package during cutting without fully cut metal side rail. In this paper, will further discuss in details how it works and what are the pros and cons, as well as its benefits.

A UHF RFID wristband tag is designed using a planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA). With the use of the folding technique and the PP-2 soft foam substrate, the tag can be made compact, light-weight, and flexible for electronic package. The tag's footprint is only 900 mm2 with almost 100% power transmission. From simulation, the wristband tag has a theoretical read range of 8.3 m at 923 MHz when placed on a rectangular phantom. With a 3.28 W EIRP, it is also experimentally demonstrated that the wristband tag can be read from 5.1 m when it is tested on minced meat.

There are many QFN packaged ICs with different die pad design widely used in semiconductor industry. With minimum delta on die pad size and chip size ratio, this will continue maximize the package functionality in same package size, yet attractive cost packaged ICs. However, a different die pad size to chip ratio lead to different stress level to building part which resulted different delamination level in package. Not to miss out the stress created by manufacturing process with its tool construction which cause delamination to package in addition. In general, there are 2 types of stress; tensile stress and shear stress. It is easy to tackle the stress related delamination to mechanical faulty compare to thermal induced stress. The root cause of thermal induced stress may involve more than one heat treatment's processes imposed on ICs manufacturing line. A change of package design or bill of material (BOM) may be incurred to overcome the delamination due to thermal resulted stress. In this paper, a thermal simulation was carried out firstly on affected package design impacted with die pad delamination. The result confirms that high thermal stress was localised on affected die pad area with addition high warpage observed. This was lead to improvement activities on warpage, which was caused by different heat treatment process. A statistical study on warpage behaviour was conducted to different heat treatment process (die bonded, wire bonded and mold process). Result showed that die pad delamination was related to high heat treatment process at die attached process. To prove the failure mechanism, different heat treatment temperature on die attached was statistically studied. Data was proven that die pad delamination eliminated by low heat temperature in die attached process. To make a success on die pad delamination elimination, a replacement from solder paste to glue material (same CTE as solder paste) is required during die attached process with low heat treatment temperature. After building part, glue designed into package with die attached process characterization, no die pad delamination found. With the big scale production confirmation, low heat temperature at die attached process is a proven solution on die pad delamination in success for affected package.

In response to the need in the semiconductor industry to have a higher moisture sensitivity level (MSL) satisfying the no delamination criteria in all interfaces for automotive devices with a reasonable cost are the main objectives in this study. To attain these tasks, knowledge of the material components and a system in the evaluation process are the key to the success of this program. Different evaluation stages were initially defined and executed depending on bill-of-material (BOM) combination and complexities. Activities will also include process refinement, material selection, leadframe design improvement and surface enhancements. Initially, all existing critical process parameter conditions were identified and optimized to ensure a delamination-free package at time zero or after assembly after which moisture soaking is done at different conditions to identify and verify MSL capability. Once found incapable for no-delamination criteria, the change in mold compound material, leadframe design enhancement, and surface roughening will be introduced. For an SOIC package with the biggest silicon die and paddle size identified as the initial qualification test vehicle using a bare copper with spot silver type of leadframe, it was found out that with the optimized process parameter conditions and with the right mold compound can already achieve MSL 1 and even after 500 temperature cycles without any form of delamination in all regions - no need for further leadframe design enhancements, surface roughening treatments and additional process for surface activation. With this result on this specific package type, additional cost adders were avoided. Likewise, this solution will be extended to other package types with different surface finish for Pre-Plated Frames (PPFs) or Nickel-Palladium-Gold (NiPdAu) to check for process consistency and material compatibility.

Semiconductor packaging's solder void criteria is getting tighter overtime due to involvement of high usage in automotive industry. Semiconductor packaging component maker starts to strengthen the solder joint quality and electrical power conductivity by tighten the solder void requirement through seeking a solution in controlling the maximum solder void size reduction from 10-15% original fraction to 5% or below over die size. Vacuum reflow is introduced to overcome this challenge. Critical process parameters in vacuum reflow process including temperature and pressure were characterized for void reduction and compared to that of conventional reflow process. Promising results show that high temperature, fast depressurize rate and long pressure dwell time in low pressurized environment as well as solder paste volume increment are critical factors in providing minimum solder void sizes that successfully meet the new industry criteria.

Advance of knowledge in material engineering has introduced stretchable electronic materials which can be stretched, bended or twisted and it is beneficial for consumer product manufacturing. This paper aims to study the effect of process combination of standard printing process in surface mount technology and thermoforming process on a stretchable conductive polymer to form a 3-dimensional electronic device. The polymer comprised of silver particles as fillers was prepared to produce a conductive and stretchable behavior which can withstand high temperature deformation. It was printed on a flat substrate using a screen printing technique and then being thermoformed to produce 3-dimensional shape of automotive rear lighting. Mechanical and electrical performances of the thermoformed product were characterized before and after thermoforming process to study the reliability of LEDs assembly with stretchable circuits. Four point probes instrument was used to measure resistivity of the printed circuit which was elongated due to thermoforming process. The elongation of circuit varied throughout the lighting prototype depending on complex geometry of mould. Conductivity of the circuit was also tested by LEDs illumination. Results of microscopy investigation, x-ray imaging and thermal cycling show good performances of LEDs joints. This new manufacturing process of printed circuit offers a promising future alternative method in manufacturing of 3dimensional electronic device.

Globalization is the increasing interaction of people, states, or countries through the growth of the international flow of money, ideas, and culture. Thus, is create competition between semiconductor manufacturer to achieve low cost, high productivity, fast delivery and time to market are the vital factors to the success. Therefore, encouragement from manufacturer to looking for creative ideas with cost down reduction and high productivity [1]. Cost reduction covers a wide range such as package design optimization, process flow improvement and also testing which is the final gate before ship out the good and quality parts to customers. This paper provides the implementation of PhotoMOS relay to enhance the stability, sustainability and fastens the measurement in semiconductor automatic test equipment (ATE) testing application. Relays are an essential part in semiconductor testing application and responsible as a switch to turn on and turn off the supply voltages or currents from tester instrument through test program control during testing to ensure functionality of electronic component meeting the specification before delivering to the consumer application. The relay functionality is sensitive especially in timing, resistances and frequency because it would influence the testing measurement results, induce instability of test program and result in unnecessary yield loss and capacity loss. However, this can be resolving through optimization test program. Nevertheless, there is a limitation of the mechanical relay which could not further or resolve through the test program. In this paper, an introduction of the PhotoMOS relays and differences as compared to mechanical relays (Pickering), experimental verification results in term of switching time, resistances of the relay and hot switch in Teradyne uFLEX tester platform for speed sensor devices.

In recent years, flip chip packaging by application of a copper pillar bump as an interconnector within the packages has successfully shrunk the package size to a minimum level, by maintaining or maximizing the chip application functionality. Nevertheless, some weaknesses have been observed during the formation of solder joint connection between the copper pillars to die pad substrates. The most common defect, which is solder void formation at the solder joint area, will reduce the interconnection strength or robustness of the solder joint. To understand the solder void formation mechanism, a simulation experiment has been carried out by using copper and silver plated lead pad substrate for pillar solder joint formation process at different stress time interval. An analytical analysis by using 3D CT-scan has been carried out to detect the submicron size solder void defect, especially during high-temperature stress process. An elemental analysis by energy dispersive X-ray also has been carrying out to prove the substrate pad material dissolution mechanism during solder joint formation. With the experiment finding and deeply understanding the material dissolution behavior in packaging concept, this can ensure more robust pillar joint die bond process and guarantee quality packages built.

ATSLP, a package in QFN type family, was introduced by Infineon using Molded Interconnect Substrate (MIS) leadframe. The MIS leadframe contain materials such as, copper, pre-mold, solder mask, and etc. With combination of MIS leadframe and high temperature flip chip die bond cause high CTE mismatch, thus, effect in higher warpage. The higher warpage affects the processability along the assembly processes which has direct relation with productivity performance and quality concerns. Stress relieve concept is introduced to improve productivity and quality, whereby warpage was reduced by separating the pre-mold and copper materials. By doing this, shrinkage of the materials was separated from each other along the change of assembly process temperature. Laser is selected as the source to perform cutting of pre-mold array. Polyimide tape is attached to the leadframe to hold the separated pre-mold array. Laser with non-contact cutting method, low thermal influence as well as having clean cut edges without burr or dust formation is ideal solution for this separation method. Through the laser precut on array method, productivity, material consumption, and output quality were improved as the warpage is significantly reduced. This paper further describe the selection of laser type, reaction of laser to polyimide tape, cutting process methods, and as well as the challenges faced along the assembly process.

The MIS leadframe contain materials such as, copper, pre-mold, solder mask, and etc. With combination of MIS leadframe and high temperature flip chip die bond cause high CTE mismatch, thus, effect in higher warpage. The higher warpage affects the processability along the assembly processes which has direct relation with productivity performance and quality concerns. Stress relieve concept is introduced to improve productivity and quality, whereby warpage was reduced by separating the pre-mold and copper materials.
