All industries have started to conduct research in environmentally safe materials. In the electronics industry also environmental issue is one of the most important concerns being addressed with rapid technical improvement. Flame retardant agents like halogen and antimony oxide are used in plastic molding compounds to provide flame retardant characteristics to all plastic encapsulated packages. However these materials have concerns as they are considered environmental hazards. This paper deals with the study of a new environmentally safe flame retardant system for plastic encapsulants. We studied the application of a new non halogen and non antimony oxide flame retardant system for the molding compound of Ball Grid Arrays (BGA) as the next generation conventional standard package.

Power integrated circuits (IC) semiconductor devices are sensitive to any sort of process variations, device and package materials effects, and environmental changes and stresses that will affect their ability to withstand the maximum applied voltage during operation. For example, contact between the epoxy molding compound and the die surface can radically alter the electrical performance, especially after environmental stressing. Some of this could be mechanical, caused by thermal mismatch. Other reasons could be chemical interactions between the molding compound and the charges within the device passivation, which would also be greatly influenced by type. Unfortunately, there is a lack of literature available on electronic package effects on high voltage device behavior. In this study, the effect of molding compound on the breakdown voltage stability of a high voltage metal oxide semiconductor-field effect transistor (MOSFET), utilizing the RESURF (Reduced SURFace electric field) technique, was examined. Breakdown stability was tested by High Temperature Reverse Bias (HTRB) testing. Both compound and post-mold cure processes were found to affect the breakdown voltage, however, it also became clear that the compounds were not acting alone and it would be necessary to evaluate the chip passivation as well, and its interaction with the molding compound.

We demonstrate that temperature-dependent strain may be used to stabilize the wavelength, threshold current, and differential efficiency, of a 1.55 /spl mu/m multiquantum well diode laser mounted on a bimetallic heatsink. We have obtained nearly complete stabilization of the modal wavelength, and an equivalent threshold current characteristic temperature of 133 K, over the temperature range of 20-70/spl deg/C. We describe the principles of temperature compensation using thermal stress, review our results, and discuss the problems that remain to be solved.

Adhesion strength evaluation of molding compounds is a critical issue in both structural design and material selection of plastic IC packages. We previously proposed a new adhesion test method that can separate residual stress from adhesion strength, and we confirmed that the measured true adhesion strength can be applied to the quantitative prediction of interface delamination in a dry package. This paper describes the influence of moisture absorbing conditions on true adhesion strength determined by this method. The drop of true adhesion strength of a specimen that has absorbed moisture at 50/spl deg/C is about 40 percent of that of a specimen at 85/spl deg/C. This suggests that the general moisture condition (85/spl deg/C/85%) accelerates the damage to plastic IC packages when compared to the case of moisture absorption at room temperature. We also evaluated interface delamination in a moisture-absorbed package by considering the swelling of the molding compound due to moisture absorption. The predicted results agree well with the experimental data for moisture-absorbed packages.

This paper presents a new concept for a fluxless package design for commercial high power laser bars. The laser bars are soldered on CuW heatsinks using Au(80)Sn(20) solder. Then a Cu lead is bonded with the FPC method (Fiber-Push-Connection) as a cap and electrical contact. Finally, the heatsink is mounted on a Cu microchannel cooler with Pb(37)Sn(63). We describe the mounting processes in detail, showing the large bonding window for soldering with Au(80)Sn(20), which is necessary for industrial production. The metallurgy of the Au(80)Sn(20) bonding interface is not dependent on the bond parameters in the area of the bonding window. Electro-optical characterizations show excellent performance of the laser bars. An accelerated aging test gives a first indicator of the high reliability of this package concept.

In this study, moire interferometry and experimental/FEM hybrid method were applied in the thermal deformation analysis of several area array packages. High frequency gratings of 1200 l/mm and 600 l/mm were replicated onto the cross sections of packages at the elevated temperature of 80/spl deg/C or 160/spl deg/C. These packages include an OMPAC BGA and a flip-chip BGA. The thermal deformation of these packages were measured by moire interferometry. Warpage of the packaging systems was measured and the effects of the bonding, encapsulation, soldering, and geometry on the deformation were discussed. The strain distributions inside the solder joints were analyzed by both moire interferometry and experimental/FEM hybrid method.

The purpose of this work was to determine the influence of preheat and maximum solder reflow temperature on the level of moisture induced damage in plastic surface mount integrated circuits. Both an analytical moisture diffusion model and Finite Element Modeling were applied to the analysis of absorption/desorption behavior of plastic molding compounds. The models were used to analyze the moisture ingress kinetics during controlled environmental exposures and for the prediction of moisture desorption characteristics during solder reflow conditions. Moisture/reflow experiments were conducted on an 80-pin PQFP, 225-pin PBGAs, and two TSOPs (a 56-pin and a 40-pin). Devices were evaluated using C-mode Scanning Acoustic Microscopy. Effects of maximum reflow temperature on measured damage response were determined showing that as a rule the JEDEC/IPC moisture resistance drops by one level for every 20/spl deg/C increase in maximum reflow temperature. The overall benefit of extended preheat is shown to be beneficial for only thin packages that are not saturated. Details of the method used for predicting the beneficial effects of preheating are described.
