This paper reviews the current development of an ultra-slim SiP for Radio Frequency (RF) application, in which three flip chips, additional passive components and Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) filters are integrated side-by-side. A systematic investigation is carried out for the design optimization, process and reliability improvement of the package, which comprises several aspects: a design study based on the 3D thermo-mechanical finite element analysis of the packaging, the determination of stress, warpage distribution, critical failure zones, and the figuration of the effects of material properties, process conditions on the reliability of package. The optimized material sets for manufacturing process were determined which can reduce the number of testing samples from 75 to 2. In addition the molded underfilling (MUF) process is proposed which not only saves one manufacturing process, but also improves the thermo-mechanical performance of the package compared with conventional epoxy underfilling process. In the end, JEDEC's moisture sensitivity test, thermal cycle test and pressure cooker tests have also been carried out for reliability evaluation. The test results show that the optimized ultra-slim SiP has a good reliability performance.

The increasing saturation challenges in storage facilities for Low- and Intermediate-Level Radioactive Waste call for a more efficient storage approach. Consequently, we have developed a square-structured container that features a storage capacity approximately 20% greater than that of conventional drum-type containers. Considering the need to contain various radioactive wastes from nuclear power usage securely until they no longer pose a threat to human health or the environment, this study focuses on evaluating the sealing efficacy of the newly designed rectangular container using finite element analysis. Since radioactive waste containers typically do not experience external forces except under special circumstances, our analysis simulated the impact of an external force, assuming a fall scenario. After fastening the bolts, we examined the vertical stress distribution on the container by applying the calculated external force. The analysis confirms the container's stable seal.

In this paper, a high power RF amplifier module using AlN substrate of high thermal conductivity has been proposed. This RF amplifier module has the advantage of compact size and effective heat dissipation for the packaging of high power chip. To fabricate the thru-hole and scribing line on AlN substrate, the key parameters of $CO_2$ laser were experimented. And then, microstrip lines and spiral planar inductors were fabricated on an AlN substrate using the thin-film process. The fabricated microstrip lines on the AlN substrate has an attenuation value of 0.1 dB/mm up to 10 GHz. The fabricated spiral planar inductor has a high quality factor, a maximum of about 62 at 1 GHz for a 5.65 nH inductor. Packaging of a RF power amplifier was implemented on an AlN substrate with thru-hole. From the measured results, the gain is 24 dB from 13 to 15 GHz and the output power is 33.65 dBm(2.3 W).

A Polypropylene (PP) film was ablated using a femtosecond laser with a center wavelength of 785 nm, a pulse width of 184 fs and a repetition rate of 1 kHz. Increments of both pulse energy and the shot number of pulses lead to co-occurrence of photochemical and thermal effect, demonstrated by the spatial expansion of rim on the surface of PP. The shapes of the laser-ablated PP films were imaged by a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and measured a 3D optical measurement system (NanoFocus). And, the oxygen transmission rate (ORT) of periodically laser-ablated PP film were characterized by oxygen permeability tester for modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) of fresh fruit and vegetable. Our results demonstrate that femtosecond pulsed laser is efficient tools for breathable packaging films in modifying the flow of air and gas into and out of a fresh produce container, where the micropatterns are specifically tailored in size, location and number which are easily controlled by laser pulse energy and pulse patterning system.

The features extracted by convolutional neural networks are more descriptive of images than traditional features, and their convolutional layers are more suitable for retrieving images than are fully connected layers. The convolutional layer features will consume considerable time and memory if used directly to match an image. Therefore, this paper proposes a feature weighting and region integration method for convolutional layer features to form global feature vectors and subsequently use them for image matching. First, the 3D feature of the last convolutional layer is extracted, and the convolutional feature is subsequently weighted again to highlight the edge information and position information of the image. Next, we integrate several regional eigenvectors that are processed by sliding windows into a global eigenvector. Finally, the initial ranking of the retrieval is obtained by measuring the similarity of the query image and the test image using the cosine distance, and the final mean Average Precision (mAP) is obtained by using the extended query method for rearrangement. We conduct experiments using the Oxford5k and Paris6k datasets and their extended datasets, Paris106k and Oxford105k. These experimental results indicate that the global feature extracted by the new method can better describe an image.

본 연구에서는 상용화된 2.4 GHz 영역대에서 사용되어지는 WiFi용 DPDT(Double Pole Double throw) switch 칩을 laser 비아 가공과 도금 공정을 이용하여 폴리머 기판내에 내장시켜 그 특성을 분석하였으며 통상적으로 실장되는 wire 본딩방식으로 패키징된 기판과 특성차이를 분석 비교하였다. 폴리머는 FR4기판과 아지노 모토사의 ABF(Ajinomoto build up film)를 이용하여 패턴도금법으로 회로를 형성하였다. ABF공정의 최적화를 위해 폴리머의 경화정토를 DSC (Differenntial Scanning Calorimetry) 및 SEM (Scanning Electron microscope)으로 분석하여 경화도에 따라 도금된 구리패턴과의 접착력을 평가하였다. ABF의 가경화도가 $80\sim90%$일 경우 구리층과 최적의 접착강도를 보였으며 진공 열압착공정을 통해 기공(void)없이 칩을 내장할 수 있었다. 내장된 기관과 와이어 본딩된 기판의 측정은 S 파라미터를 이용하여 삽입손실과 반사손실을 비교 분석하였으며 그 결과 삽입손실은 두 경우 유사하게 나타났지만 반사손실의 경우 칩이 내장된 경우 6 GHz 까지 -25 dB 이하로 안정적으로 나오는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 Bare-die Chip 형태의 Drive amplifier를 Ajinomoto Build-up Film (ABF)와 FR-4로 구성된 PCB에 내장함으로써 28 GHz 대역 모듈에서 적용될 수 있는 내장형 능동소자 모듈을 구현하였다. 내장형 모듈에 사용된 유전체 ABF는 유전율 3.2, 유전손실 0.016의 특성을 가지고 있으며, Cavity가 형성되어 Drive amplifier가 내장되는 FR4는 유전율 3.5, 유전손실 0.02의 특성을 가진다. 제안된 내장형 Drive amplifier는 총 2가지 구조로 공정하였으며 측정을 통해 각각의 S-Parameter특성을 확인하였다. 공정을 진행한 2가지 구조는 Bare-die Chip의 패드가 위를 향하는 Face-up 내장 구조와 Bare-die Chip의 패드가 아래를 향하는 Face-down내장 구조이다. 구현한 내장형 모듈은 Taconic 사의 TLY-5A(유전율 2.17, 유전손실 0.0002)를 이용한 테스트 보드에 실장 하여 측정을 진행하였다. Face-down 구조로 내장한 모듈은 Face-up 구조에 비해 Bare-die chip의 RF signal패드에서부터 형성된 패턴까지의 배선 길이가 짧아 이득 성능이 좋을 것이라 예상하였지만, Bare-die chip에 위치한 Ground가 Through via를 통해 접지되는 만큼 Drive amplifier에 Ground가 확보되지 않아 발진이 발생한다는 것을 확인하였다. 반면 Bare-die chip의 G round가 부착되는 PCB의 패턴에 직접적으로 접지되는 Face-up 구조는 25 GHz에서부터 30 GHz까지 약 10 dB 이상의 안정적인 이득 특성을 냈으며 목표주파수 대역인 28 GHz에서의 이득은 12.32 dB이다. Face-up 구조로 내장한 모듈의 출력 특성은 신호 발생기와 신호분석기를 사용하여 측정하였다. 신호 발생기의 입력전력(P_in)을 -10 dBm에서 20 dBm까지 인가하여 측정하였을 때, 구현한 내장형 모듈의 이득압축점(P_1dB)는 20.38 dB으로 특성을 확인할 수 있었다. 측정을 통해 본 논문에서 사용한 Drive amplifier와 같은 Bare-die chip을 PCB에 내장할 때 Ground 접지 방식에 따라 발진이 개선된다는 것을 검증하였으며, 이를 통해 Chip Face-up 구조로 Drive amplifier를 내장한 모듈은 밀리미터파 대역의 통신 모듈에 충분히 적용될 수 있을 것이라고 판단된다.

In this paper, we report a novel RF-MEMS packaging technology with lightweight, small size, and short electric path length. To achieve this goal, we used the ultra thin silicon substrate as a packaging substrate. The via holes lot vortical feed-through were fabricated on the thin silicon wafer by wet chemical processing. Then, via holes were filled and micro-bumps were fabricated by electroplating. The packaged RF device has a reflection loss under 22 〔㏈〕 and a insertion loss of -0.04∼-0.08 〔㏈〕. These measurements show that we could package the RF device without loss and interference by using the vertical feed-through. Specially, with the ultra thin silicon wafer we can realize of a device package that has low-cost, lightweight and small size. Also, we can extend a 3-D packaging structure by stacking assembled thin packages.

대용량, 고속 정보처리가 요구되는 System의 모듈은 Data 처리의 고속성 및 회로의 고집적이 가능한 MCM의 형태로 구현되어 ATM, GPS 및 PCS 등의 분야에 광범위하게 응 용되고 있다. 위와 같은 High Speed 응용분야에서의 System 성능은 Interconnect Line의 전달지연, 임피던스 부정합에 의한 신호 반사 손실. 신호선 간의 Crosstalk, Ground Bounce 등의 현상에 대한 최적화 여부에 결정적인 영향을 받는다. 그러나 Interconnect의 특성상 정 형이 존재하지 않으므로 추상적인 Library를 구축하는 형식으로 접근할 수밖에 없으며 이를 위하여 여러기본 구조를 정의한후 각 Dimension을 변수로 두고 해석 결과를 합성하여 Database화하는 접근방식이다. 본 논문에서는 MCM-D 공정을 이용하여 Interconnect Line 특성을 분석하고 Database화 하기 위한 Test Pattern을 구현하고 Time Domain reflectometry(TDR)을 이용하여 그특성들을 측정 분석하였다. Test pattern 제작은 MCM-D 공정으로 최소선폭 27$\mu$m, Via Hole 75$\mu$m으로 형성하였고 2 Layer Signal과 GND로 총 3Layer를 구현하였다. 특성분석을 위해 TDR장비와 모데링 및 Simulation S/W인 IPA 510 을 사용하였다. 이를 통해 MCM-D를 이용한 공정에서 Interconcet Line의 고주파 특성을 측정하고 정량화하여 LIbrary를 제작할수 있었다.

The further development of information, communication and digital media technologies requires the use of advanced, miniaturized semiconductor chips that operate at a high frequency. Die bonding and wire bonding methods for semiconductor packaging have been replaced by direct attachment to the substrate after forming a bump on the chip. However, the height of the bump or ball is an important factor for defects during assembly. This paper proposes an algorithm to measure the height of the bumps or balls in semiconductor packaging with greater accuracy. The performance of the proposed algorithm is experimentally validated. Non-contact 3D measurements of a shiny round ball is quite difficult, and it is not easy to obtain accurate data. This paper thus proposes an optical method and technique to improve the measurement accuracy.
