This paper presents a method by which multiple holes of ultra small size can be punched simultaneously. Silicon wafers were used to fabricate punching die. Workpiece used in the present investigation were the rolled pure copper of $3{\mu}m$ in thickness and CP titanium of $1.5{\mu}m$ in thickness. The metal foils were punched with the dies and arrays of circular and rectangular holes were made. The diameter of holes ranges from $2-10{\mu}m$. The process set-up is similar to that of the flexible rubber pad forming or Guerin process. Arrays of holes were punched successfully in one step forming. The punched holes were examined in terms of their dimensions, surface qualities, and potential defect. The effects of the die hole dimension on ultra small size hole formation of the thin foil were discussed. The optimum process condition such as proper die shape and diameter-thickness ratio (d/t) were also discussed. The results in this paper show that the present method can be successfully applied to the fabrication of ultra small size hole array in a one step operation.

An ultrafine grained Mg-9Al-1Zn magnesium alloy with the mean grain size less than $1{\mu}m$ was produced by using high-ratio differential speed rolling. The processed alloy exhibited excellent superplasticity at relatively low temperatures. The micro-forming tests were carried out using a micro-forging apparatus with micro V-grooved shaped dies made of silicon and the micro-formability was evaluated by means of micro-formability index, $R_f$ ($=A_f/A_g$, $A_f$: formed and inflowed area into the V-groove, $A_g$: area of the V-groove). The $R_f$ value increased with temperature up to $280^{\circ}C$ and then decreased beyond $300^{\circ}C$. The decrease of the $R_f$ value at $300^{\circ}C$ was attributed to the accelerated grain coarsening. Increasing the micro-forging pressure increased the $R_f$ values. At a given die geometry, die filling ability decreased as the die position moved away from the die center to the end. FEM simulation predicted this behavior and a method of improving this problem was proposed.

In traditional electronic packages the die and the substrate are interconnected with fine wire. Wire bonding technology is limited to bond pads around the peripheral of the die. As the demand for I/O increases, there will be limitations with wire bonding technology. Flip chip technology eliminates the need for wire bonding by redistributing the bond pads over the entire surface of the die. Instead of wires, the die is attached to the substrate utilizing a direct solder connection. Although several steps and processes are eliminated when utilizing flip chip technology, there are several new problems that must be overcome. The main issue is the mismatch in the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of the silicon die and the substrate. This mismatch will cause premature solder Joint failure. This issue can be compensated for by the use of an underfill material between the die and the substrate. Underfill helps to extend the working life of the device by providing environmental protection and structural integrity. Flux residues may interfere with the flow of underfill encapsulants causing gross solder voids and premature failure of the solder connection. Furthermore, flux residues may chemically react with the underfill polymer causing a change in its mechanical and thermal properties. As flip chip packages decrease in size, cleaning becomes more challenging. While package size continues to decrease, the total number of 1/0 continue to increase. As the I/O increases, the array density of the package increases and as the array density increases, the pitch decreases. If the pitch is decreasing, the standoff is also decreasing. This paper will present the keys to successful flip chip cleaning processes. Process parameters such as time, temperature, solvency, and impingement energy required for successful cleaning will be addressed. Flip chip packages will be cleaned and subjected to JEDEC level 3 testing, followed by accelerated stress testing. The devices will then be analyzed using acoustic microscopy and the results and conclusions reported.

최근 모바일 기기에 적용되는 반도체 패키지는 초소형, 초박형 및 다기능을 요구하고 있기 때문에 다양한 실리콘 칩들이 다층으로 수직 적층된 패키지의 개발이 필요하다. 패키지 및 실리콘 칩의 두께가 계속 얇아지면서 휨 현상, 크랙 및 여러 다른 형태의 파괴가 발생될 가능성이 많다. 이러한 문제는 패키지 재료들의 열팽창계수의 차 및 패키지의 구조적인 설계로 인하여 발생된다. 본 연구에서는 4층으로 적층된 FBGA 패키지의 휨 현상 및 응력을 수치해석을 통하여 상온과 리플로우 온도 조건에서 각각 분석하였다. 상온에서 가장 적은 휨을 보여준 경우가 리플로우 공정 조건에서는 오히려 가장 큰 휨을 보여 주고 있다. 본 연구의 물성 조건에서 패키지의 휨에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 인자는 EMC의 열팽창계수, EMC의 탄성계수, 다이의 두께, PCB의 열팽창계수 순이었다. 휨을 최소화하기 위하여 패키지 재료들의 물성들을 RMS 기법으로 최적화한 결과 패키지의 휨을 약 $28{\mu}m$ 감소시킬 수 있었다. 다이의 두께가 얇아지게 되면 다이의 최대 응력은 증가한다. 특히 최상부에 위치한 다이의 끝 부분에서 응력이 급격히 증가하기 시작한다. 이러한 응력의 급격한 변화 및 응력 집중은 실리콘 다이의 파괴를 유발시킬 가능성이 많다. 따라서 다이의 두께가 얇아질수록 적절한 재료의 선택 및 구조 설계가 중요함을 알 수 있다.

In this study, we investigated the evolution and reduction of the surface roughness during the high-speed chemical dry thinning process of Si wafers. The direct injection of NO gas into the reactor during the supply of F radicals from NF3 remote plasmas was very effective in increasing the Si thinning rate, due to the NO-induced enhancement of the surface reaction, but resulted in the significant roughening of the thinned Si surface. However, the direct addition of Ar and N2 gas, together with NO gas, decreased the root mean square (RMS) surface roughness of the thinned Si wafer significantly. The process regime for the increasing of the thinning rate and concomitant reduction of the surface roughness was extended at higher Ar gas flow rates. In this way, Si wafer thinning rate as high as $20\;{\mu}m/min$ and very smooth surface roughness was obtained and the mechanical damage of silicon wafer was effectively removed. We also measured die fracture strength of thinned Si wafer in order to understand the effect of chemical dry thinning on removal of mechanical damage generated during mechanical grinding. The die fracture strength of the thinned Si wafers was measured using 3-point bending test and compared. The results indicated that chemical dry thinning with reduced surface roughness and removal of mechanical damage increased the die fracture strength of the thinned Si wafer.

This paper presents an experimental investigation on the heat trensfer characteristic of micro pipe (MHP) array with 38 triangular microgrooves. A heat pipe is an effective heat exchanger operating without external power. The heat pipe transfers heat by means of the latent heat of vaporization and two-phase fluid flow driven by the capillary force. The overall size of the MHP array can be put undermeath a microelectonic die and integrated into the electrronic package of a microelectronin device to dissipate the heat from the die. The MHP array is fabricated by micromachining with a silicon wafer and a glass substrate. The MHP was filled with water and sealed. The experimental results show the temperature decrease of 12.1$^{\circ}C$ at the evaporator section for the input power of 5.9 W and the improvement of 28% in the heat transfer rate.

To reduce interconnect delay and power consumption while improving chip performance, a three-dimensional integrated circuit (3D IC) has been developed with die-stacking and through-silicon via (TSV) techniques. The power supply problem is one of the essential challenges in 3D IC design because IR-drop caused by insufficient supply voltage in a 3D chip reduces the chip performance. In particular, power bumps and TSVs are placed to minimize IR-drop in a 3D power delivery network. In this paper, we propose a design methodology for 3D power delivery networks to minimize the number of power bumps and TSVs with optimum mesh structure and distribute voltage variation more uniformly by shifting the locations of power bumps and TSVs while satisfying IR-drop constraint. Simulation results show that our method can reduce the voltage variation by 29.7% on average while reducing the number of power bumps and TSVs by 76.2% and 15.4%, respectively.

Formation of Sn through-silicon-via (TSV) and its interconnection processes were studied in order to form a three-dimensional interconnection structure of chip-stack packages. Different from the conventional formation of Cu TSVs, which require a complicated Cu electroplating process, Sn TSVs can be formed easily by Sn electroplating and reflow. Sn via-filling behavior did not depend on the shape of the Sn electroplated layer, allowing a much wider process window for the formation of Sn TSVs compared to the conventional Cu TSV process. Interlocking joints were processed by intercalation of Cu bumps into Sn vias to form interconnections between chips with Sn TSVs, and the mechanical integrity of the interlocking joints was evaluated with a die shear test.
