In this paper, the impact of the copper densities of substrate layers on IC package warpage is studied experimentally and numerically. The substrate strips used in this study contained two metal layers, with the metal densities and patterns of these two layers varied to determine their impacts. Eight legs of substrate strips were prepared. Leg 1 to leg 5 were prepared with a HD (high density) type of strip and leg 6 to leg 8 were prepared with UHD (ultra high density) type of strip. The top copper metal layer was designed to feature meshed patterns and the bottom copper layer was designed to feature circular patterns. In order to consider the process factors, the warpage of the substrate bottom was measured step by step with the following manufacturing process: (a) bare substrate, (b) die attach, (c) applying mold compound (d) and post reflow. Furthermore, after the post reflow step, the substrate strips were diced to obtain unit packages and the warpage of the unit packages was measured to check the warpage trends and differences. The experimental results showed that the warpage trend is related to the copper densities. In addition to the experiments, a Finite Element Modeling (FEM) was used to simulate the warpage. The nonlinear material properties of mold compound, die attach, solder mask, and substrate core were included in the simulation. Through experiment and simulation, some observations were concluded.

In electronics industry, the coming electronic devices will be expected to be high integration and convergence electronics. And also, it will be expected that the coming electronics will be flexible, bendable and wearable electronics. Therefore, the demands and interests of bonding technology between flexible substrate and chip for mobile electronics, e-paper etc. have been increased because of weight and flexibility of flexible substrate. Considering fine pitch for high density and thermal damage of flexible substrate during bonding process, the micro solder bump technology for high density and low temperature bonding process for reducing thermal damage will be required. In this study, we researched on bonding technology of chip and flexible substrate by using 25um Cu pillar bumps and Sn-Bi solder bumps were formed by electroplating. From the our study, we suggest technology on Cu pillar bump formation, Sn-Bi solder bump formation, and bonding process of chip and flexible substrate for the coming electronics.

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.

MCP(Multi-chip Package)는 두 개 이상의 Chip을 적층하여 하나의 패키지로 합친 제품이다. MCP를 만들기 위해서는 두 개 이상의 Chip이 동일한 Substrate에 적층되기 때문에 다수의 조립 공정이 필요하다. Package 공정에서는 Lot들이 동일한 특성을 가지는 Chip으로 구성되고 MCP를 구성하는 Chip의 특성은 Layer sequence에 의해 결정된다. MCP 생산 공정에서 WIP Balance 뿐만 아니라 Throughput을 달성하기 위해서는 Chip의 Layer sequence가 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 Chip들의 Layer sequence의 제약 조건을 고려한 스케쥴링 방법론을 제안한다.

Recently many studies being carried out to increase the light efficiency of LED. The external quantum efficiency of LED, generally the light efficiency, is determined by the internal quantum efficiency and the light extraction efficiency. The internal quantum efficiency of LED was already reached to more than 90%, but the light extraction efficiency is still insufficient compared with the internal quantum efficiency because the total internal reflection is generated in the interface between the LED chip and air. Thus, we studied about flip chip LED with PSS and performed the optical simulation which find more optimized PSS for flip chip LED to increase the light extraction efficiency. Decreasing of the total internal reflection and effect of diffused reflection according to PSS improved the light extraction efficiency. To get more higher the efficiency, we simulated flip chip with PSS that the parameters are arrangement, edge spacing, radius, height and shape of PSS.

Microwave model and high-frequency measurement of the ACF flip-chip interconnection was investigated using a microwave network analysis. S-parameters of on-chip and substrate were separately measured in the frequency range of 200 MHz to 20 GHz using a microwave network analyzer HP8510 and cascade probe. And the cascade transmission matrix conversion was performed. The same measurements and conversion techniques were conducted on the assembled test chip and substrate at the same frequency range. Then impedance values in ACF flip-chip interconnection were extracted from cascade transmission matrix. ACF flip chip interconnection has only below 0.1nH, and very stable up to 13 GHz. Over the 13 GHz, there was significant loss because of epoxy capacitance of ACF. However, the addition of SiO$_2$filler to the ACF lowered the dielectric constant of the ACF materials resulting in an increase of resonance frequency up to 15 GHz. High frequency behavior of metal Au stud bumps was investigated. The resonance frequency of the metal stud bump interconnects is higher than that of ACF flip-chip interconnects and is not observed at the microwave frequency band. The extracted model parameters of adhesive flip chip interconnects were analyzed with the considerations of the characteristics of material and the design guideline of ACA flip chip for high frequency applications was provided.

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.

InGaN/Sapphire LED에서 기판 제거와 패키지 방식이 광출력 특성에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. Sapphire 기판의 제거는 반도체 접합에서 발생된 열의 방출에 도움이 되지만, 반대로 광추출효율이 손상되는 문제점이 수반된다. Sapphire 기판이 제거된 칩을 열전도율이 좋은 금속의 마운트 위에 부착하면, 최대 구동전류는 현저히 증가하고 광출력도 상당히 증가됨으로써, 광추출효율이 손상되는 문제점이 어느 정도 보상된다. 하지만, sapphire 기판이 제거된 칩을 상대적으로 열전도율이 낮은 유전체의 마운트 위에 부착하는 경우에는, 거의 모든 입력전류 범위에서 sapphire 기판이 남아 있는 일반형 칩보다 낮은 광출력을 나타낸다. 따라서, 작은 광출력이 요구되는 응용분야에서는 사용된 칩 마운트의 종류에 무관하게, 일반형 칩이 sapphire 기판이 제거된 칩 보다 유리한 것으로 분석된다.

An electrode-evaporation technology on both the top and bottom sides of the bare vertical-type single chip separated from the traditional substrate by cooling, was developed for III-nitride vertical-type single chip LEDs with thick GaN epilayer. The post-process of the cooling step was followed by sorting the bare vertical-type single chip LEDs into the holes in a pocket-type shadow mask for deposition of the electrodes at the top and bottom sides of bare vertical-type single chip LEDs without the traditional substrate for electrode evaporation technology for vertical-type single chip LEDs. The variation in size of the hole between the designed shadow mask and the deposited electrodes owing to the use of the designed pocket-type shadow mask is investigated. Furthermore, the electrical and the optical properties of bare vertical-type single chip LEDs deposited with two different shapes of n-type electrodes using the pocket-type shadow mask are investigated to explore the possibility of the e-beam evaporation method.
