A two-facet approach was used to investigate the parametric performance of functional high-speed DDR3 (Double Data Rate) DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) die placed in different types of BGA (Ball Grid Array) packages: wire-bonded BGA (FBGA, Fine Ball Grid Array), flip-chip (FCBGA) and lead-bonded $microBGA^{(R)}$. In the first section, packaged live DDR3 die were tested using automatic test equipment using high-resolution shmoo plots. It was found that the best timing and voltage margin was obtained using the lead-bonded microBGA, followed by the wire-bonded FBGA with the FCBGA exhibiting the worst performance of the three types tested. In particular the flip-chip packaged devices exhibited reduced operating voltage margin. In the second part of this work a test system was designed and constructed to mimic the electrical environment of the data bus in a PC's CPU-Memory subsystem that used a single DIMM (Dual In Line Memory Module) socket in point-to-point and point-to-two-point configurations. The emulation system was used to examine signal integrity for system-level operation at speeds in excess of 6 Gb/pin/sec in order to assess the frequency extensibility of the signal-carrying path of the microBGA considered for future high-speed DRAM packaging. The analyzed signal path was driven from either end of the data bus by a GaAs laser driver capable of operation beyond 10 GHz. Eye diagrams were measured using a high speed sampling oscilloscope with a pulse generator providing a pseudo-random bit sequence stimulus for the laser drivers. The memory controller was emulated using a circuit implemented on a BGA interposer employing the laser driver while the active DRAM was modeled using the same type of laser driver mounted to the DIMM module. A custom silicon loading die was designed and fabricated and placed into the microBGA packages that were attached to an instrumented DIMM module. It was found that 6.6 Gb/sec/pin operation appears feasible in both point to point and point to two point configurations when the input capacitance is limited to 2pF.

In this paper, the impact of integrating large number of I/O (Input-Output) and Core power Delivery Network (PDN) on a 6 layers Flip-Chip Ball Grid Array (FCBGA) package is investigated. The impact of core induced supply noise on high-speed I/O interfaces, and high-speed I/O interface's supply noise coupling to adjacent high-speed I/O interfaces' jitter impact are studied. Concurrent stress validation software is used to induce SSO noise on each individual I/O interfaces; and at the same time; periodic noise is introduced from Core PDN into the I/O PDN domain. In order to have the maximum coupling impact, a prototype package is designed to merge the I/O and Core PDN as one while impact on jitter on each I/O interfaces are investigated. In order to understand the impact of the Core to I/O and I/O to I/O noise, the on-die noise measurements were measured and results were compared with the original PDN where each I/O and Core PDN are standalone and isolated are used as a benchmark.

소형화, 박형화 및 집적화의 경향에 따라 FCBGA가 휴대폰과 같은 전자제품에 활발히 사용되고 있다. 그러나, 플립칩은 전기적 저항에 의한 열이 필연적으로 발생하며, 발생된 열은 패키지의 소형화에 따라 열의 분산 면적 감소로 인하여 발열의 증가가 나타나게 된다. 발열은 온도와 응력에 민감하게 반응하는 소자의 수명을 저해하고, 시스템에 있어 고장의 발생을 가져올 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 플립칩의 발열문제를 해결하기 위하여 Comsol 3.5a의 heat transfer module을 이용하여 FCBGA의 발열 특성을 정량적으로 분석하였다. 그리고 열 문제를 해결하기 위하여 시뮬레이션을 통한 새로운 마이크로 구조가 부착된 플립칩을 제안하였다. 또한 마이크로 패턴 구조의 형상, 높이, 간격에 대한 열 소산을 분석함으로써, 기존 플립칩에 비하여 열소산 특성이 18% 향상됨을 확인하였다.

Flip Chip Ball Grid Array (FCBGA) 패키지의 솔더조인트 신뢰성을 평가하기 위한 방법으로는 다이 충격법, 다이 전단법, 3점 굽힘법, 열충격법 등이 활용된다. 본 연구에서는 솔더 접합부의 주요 고장메카니즘인 취성파괴를 확인하기 위한 방법으로 리플로우 상태, $85^{\circ}C$/85%RH 처리, $150^{\circ}C$/10hr 에이징의 처리한 후, 4가지 평가법으로 평가를 진행하여 파단모드를 분석하였다. 본 연구결과에서는 다이 충격법과 다이 전단법의 Good joint rate (GJR, %)는 리플로우 상태와 $85^{\circ}C$/85%RH처리에서 각각 89~91%와 100% 였으며, $150^{\circ}C$/10hr 에이징에서는 66%와 90%를 나타내었다. 3점 굽힘법과 열충격법의 GJR(%)는 3종류 샘플에서 모두 100%를 나타내어 변별력이 없었다. C4 솔더접합부의 신뢰성 평가법에 따른 GJR(%)의 변별력을 확인할 수 있는 방법은 die shock 과 die shear test였다.
