Abstract
UBM (Under Bump Metallurgy) of flip chip assemblies consists of several layers such as the solder wetting, the diffusion barrier, and the adhesion layers. In addition, IMC layers are formed between the solder wetting layers (e.g. Cu, Ni) and the solder. The primary failure mechanism of the solder joints in flip chips is widely known as the fatigue failure caused by thermal fatigues or electromigration damages. Sometimes, the premature brittle failure occurs in the IMC layers. However, these phenomena have thus far been viewed from only experimental investigations. In this sense, this paper presents a method for solid modeling of IMC layers in flip chip assemblies, thus providing a pre-processing tool for finite element analysis to simulate the IMC failure mechanism. The proposed modeling method is CSG-based and can also be applied to the modeling of UBM structure in flip chip assemblies. This is done by performing Boolean operations according to the actual sequences of fabrication processes
