In this paper, we proposed the 2-dimensional inspection algorithm for micro-BGA(Ball Grid Array) device using a vision system. The proposed method uses the subpixel algorithm for high precision. The proposed algorithm preferentially extracts the package area of device in the input image. After the extraction of package area, each ball areas are extracted by ball search window method. The parameters for inspection are calculated for the extracted ball area. In the simulation results, we have the average error within $17{\mu}m$.

In this study, the curing kinetics and thermal degradation of underfill were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermo gravimetry analysis (TGA). The mechanical and thermal properties of underfill were characterized using dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and thermo-mechanical analysis (TMA). Also, we presented on underfill dispensing process using Prostar tool. The non-isothermal DSC scans at various heating rates, the exothermic reaction peak became narrower with increasing the heating rate. The thermal degradation of underfill was composed of two processes, which involved chemical reactions between the degrading polymer and oxygen from the air atmosphere. The results of fluidity phenomena were simulated using Star CD program, the fluidity of the underfills with lower viscosity was faster.

The reliability of BGA (ball grid array) package with OSP (organic surface preservative) surface finish under thermal cycle was investigated by using SEM (scanning electron microscopy), EDS(energy dispersive spectroscopy), image tool and ball shear test. The IMCs (intermetallic compounds) were increased with increasing number of thermal cycles. However, the shear strengths of solder ball were decreased with increasing number of thermal cycles. The order of solders which had the highest shear strength as follow: Sn-3.5wt%Ag-0.7wt%Cu, Sn-0.7wt%Cu, Sn-37wt%Pb.

Recently, the miniature of electric products such as notebook, cellular-phone etc. is apparently appeared, due to the smaller size of the semiconductor chips. As the size of chip gets smaller, the circuit could be easily damaged by the slightest influence, therefore it is important to investigate the machining quality of $\mu$ BGA. This paper deals with machining characteristics of the $\mu$ BGA singulation. The relationships between the singulation face and machining quality of the $\mu$ BGA singulation are investigated. It is confirmed that machining quality improves as the singulation force decreases.

Micro-structure and shear properties with reflow conditions, reflow temperature and time, for In-48Sn solder on BGA package were examined at the temperature between 140 and 170$^{\circ}C$ for 10 to 3600sec. With increasing reflow temperature and time, the thickness of intermetallic compound formed between solder and pad increased. Shear test indicated shear force increased in the range to a critical value of reflow time, and decreased over a critical reflow time. With increasing reflow temperature and time, the crater occurred on fracture surface because of a increase of crater by voids and IMC particles precipitated in solder.

Failure physics and statistical lifetime analysis constitute the two extreme ends of the reliability engineering spectrum, and studies that relate failure mechanisms to failure distributions have been near non-existent. This paper is an attempt to stimulate interest to fill the gap between the two extremes and proposes an approach of combining them through i) developing a failure mechanism model, ii) generating failure times by Monte Carlo simulation with the model, iii) deriving the failure time distribution and evaluating the product reliability, and iv) improving the product reliability by the sensitivity analysis. An application of the proposed approach to the BGA(Ball Grid Array) surface mount package is also provided.

PBGA(Plastic Ball Grid Array) is composed of some materials such as PCB(Printed Circuit Board), epoxy molding compound, die attach and so on. Reliability of PBGA package is weak compared with plastic packages. The weak points of reliability are the lower resistance to popcorn cracking, which is induced by moisture absorption in PCB, and the pressure cooker test corrosion, which is the basic problem due to the material characteristics of PCB. Introducing the PCB baking and the plasma treatment cleared the popcorn cracking phenomenon. The PCB baking and plasma treatment reduced the epoxy void by eliminating the source of moisture vaporization during the epoxy curing and enhanced the adhesion between PCB and epoxy. Also, plasma treatment enhanced the wettability of epoxy on PCB. The problem of corrosion is cleared using multi-functional epoxy. This type of EMC(Epoxy Molding Compound) is recommended in package using PCB as a substrate. (Received November 19, 1999)
