The technology to inspect and measure an inner structure of micro parts has become an important tool in the semi-conductor industrial field with the development of automation and precision manufacturing. Especially, the inspection skill on the inside of highly integrated electronic device becomes a key role in detecting defects of a completely assembled product. X-ray inspection technology has been focused as a main method to inspect the inside structure. However, there has been insufficient research done on the customized inspection technology for the flip-chip assembly due to the interior connecting part of flip chip which connects the die and PCB electrically through balls positioned on the die. In this study, therefore, it is implemented to detect shape error of flip chip bonding without damaging chips using an x-ray inspection system. At this time, it is able to monitor the solder bump shape by introducing an edge-extracting algorithm (exponential approximation function) according to the attenuating characteristic and detect shape error compared with CAD data. Additionally, the bonding error of solder bumps is automatically detectable by acquiring numerical size information at the extracted solder bump edges.

This paper presents a macro/micro flip chip mounting head system for precise force control. In the proposed macro/ micro system, the macro actuator is conventional do servomotor with a ball screw mechanism and the micro actuator is a voice coil motor(VCM) that consists of four NdFeB magnets and a winded moving coil. For force control, a sensitive strain-gauge force sensor is mounted in the micro actuator. Through harmonic motion between macro and micro actuator, we would like to get precise contact force control when small sized flip chip is mounted on flexible substrate in high speed. In order to show the effectiveness of the proposed macro/micro flip chip mounting head system, we com...

This paper describes the thermal fatigue life prediction models for 95.5Sn-4.0Ag-0.5Cu solder joints of Flip chip package considering Under Bump Metallurgy(UBM). A 3D Finite element slice model was used to simulate the viscoplastic behavior of the solder. For two types of solder bump pitches, simulations were analyzed and the effects of underfill packages were studied. Consequently, it was found out that solder joints with underfill had much better fatigue life than solder joints without underfill, and solder joints with $300{\mu}m$ bump pitch had a longer thermal fatigue life than solder joints with $150{\mu}m$ bump pitch. Through the simulations, flip chip with lead-free solder joints should be designed with underfill and a longer bump pitch.

In this paper, the effects of the reflow number in the mechanical reliability of flip chip solder joint was investigated by flip chip shear test and thermal shock test. For evaluation mechanical reliability of flip chip, We experiment that specimens were operated 3-times, 6-times, 9-times, 12-times under reflow Process. After shear test and thermal shock test, We measured max shear strength and coming first crack number of thermal cycle. And We observe fracture surface and cross section by using SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope) and optical scope. In the results, the more specimens were operated reflow process, the more decreased maximum shear strength and number of thermal cycle.

The ball shea. tests for ball grid array (BGA) and flip chip packages were carried out with different displacement rates to find out the optimum condition of the displacement rate for this test. The BGA packages consisted of two different kinds of solder balls (eutectic Sn-37wt.%Pb and Sn-3.5wt.%Ag) and electroplated Au/Ni/Cu substrate, whereas the flip chip package consisted of electroplated Sn-37Pb solder and Cu UBM. The packages were reflowed up to 10 times, or aged at 443 K up to 21 days. The variation of the displacement rate resulted in the variations of the shear properties such as shear force, displacement rate at break, fracture mode and strain rate sensitivity. The increase in the displacement rate led to the increase of the shear force and brittleness of solder joints.

Recently, flip chip interconnection has been increasingly used in microelectronic assemblies. The common Flip chip interconnection is formed by reflow of the solder bumps. Lead-Tin solders and Tin-based solders are most widely used for the solder bump materials. However, the flip chip interconnection using these solder materials cannot be applied to temperature-sensitive components since solder reflow is performed at relatively high temperature. Therefore the development of low temperature bonding technologies is required in these applications. A few bonding techniques at low temperature of $150^{\circ}C$ or below have been reported. They include the reflow soldering using low melting point solder bumps, the transient liquid phase bonding by inter-diffusion between two solders, and the bonding using low temperature curable adhesive. This paper reviews various low temperature bonding methods.

In this paper the maximum current carrying capability of ACAs flip chip joint is investigated based on two failure mechanisms: (1) degradation of the interface between gold stud bumps and aluminum pads; and (2) ACA swelling between chips and substrates under high current stress. For the determination of the maximum allowable current, bias stressing was applied to ACAs flip chip joint. The current level at which current carrying capability is saturated is defined as the maximum allowable current. The degradation mechanism under high current stress was studied by in-situ monitoring of gold stud bump-aluminum pad ACA contact resistance and also ACA junction temperature at various current level. The cumulative failure distributions were used to predict the lifetime of ACAs flip chip joint under high current stressing. These experimental results can be used to better understand and to improve the current carrying capability of ACA flip chip joint.
