The photonic quantum ring (PQR) laser is a three dimensional whispering gallery (WG) mode laser and has anomalous quantum wire properties, such as microampere to nanoampere range threshold currents and ${\sqrt{T}}$-dependent thermal red shifts. We observed uniform bottom emissions from a 1-kb smart pixel chip of a $32{\times}32$ InGaAs PQR laser array flip-chip bonded to a 0.35 ${\mu}m$ CMOS-based PQR laser driver. The PQR-CMOS smart pixel array, now operating at 30 MHz, will be improved to the GHz frequency range through device and circuit optimization.

In the era of 20 nm scaled semiconductor volume manufacturing, Microelectronics Manufacturing Engineering Education is presented in this paper. The purpose of microelectronic engineering education is to educate engineers to work in the semiconductor industry; it is therefore should be considered even before than technology development. Three Microelectronics Manufacturing Engineering related courses are introduced, and how undergraduate students acquired hands-on experience on Microelectronics fabrication and manufacturing. Conventionally employed wire bonding was recognized as not only an additional parasitic source in high-frequency mobile applications due to the increased inductance caused from the wiring loop, but also a huddle for minimizing IC packaging footprint. To alleviate the concerns, chip bumping technologies such as flip chip bumping and pillar bumping have been suggested as promising chip assembly methods to provide high-density interconnects and lower signal propagation delay [1,2]. Aluminum as metal interconnecting material over the decades in integrated circuits (ICs) manufacturing has been rapidly replaced with copper in majority IC products. A single copper metal layer with various test patterns of lines and vias and $400{\mu}m$ by $400{\mu}m$ interconnected pads are formed. Mask M1 allows metal interconnection patterns on 4" wafers with AZ1512 positive tone photoresist, and Cu/TiN/Ti layers are wet etched in two steps. We employed WPR, a thick patternable negative photoresist, manufactured by JSR Corp., which is specifically developed as dielectric material for multi- chip packaging (MCP) and package-on-package (PoP). Spin-coating at 1,000 rpm, i-line UV exposure, and 1 hour curing at $110^{\circ}C$ allows about $25{\mu}m$ thick passivation layer before performing wafer level soldering. Conventional Si3N4 passivation between Cu and WPR layer using plasma CVD can be an optional. To practice the board level flip chip assembly, individual students draw their own fan-outs of 40 rectangle pads using Eagle CAD, a free PCB artwork EDA. Individuals then transfer the test circuitry on a blank CCFL board followed by Cu etching and solder mask processes. Negative dry film resist (DFR), Accimage$^{(R)}$, manufactured by Kolon Industries, Inc., was used for solder resist for ball grid array (BGA). We demonstrated how Microelectronics Manufacturing Engineering education has been performed by presenting brief intermediate by-product from undergraduate and graduate students. Microelectronics Manufacturing Engineering, once again, is to educating engineers to actively work in the area of semiconductor manufacturing. Through one semester senior level hands-on laboratory course, participating students will have clearer understanding on microelectronics manufacturing and realized the importance of manufacturing yield in practice.

소자가 고속, 고주파화 되고 ASIC 칩의 개발이 가속화되면서 패키징과 interconnection 의 중요성이 더욱 증대되고 있다. 소자의 성능에 가장 직접적인 영향을 주는 것이 1차 패키징인데 현재 가장 많이 실행되고 있는 것이 wire 등에 의한 본딩 방법이었다. 이러한 기존의 방법은 소자의 고속화와 입출력 숫자의 증가에 따라 점차 그 한계를 보이고 있는데 이에 대한 방안으로는 플립칩 본딩 방식에 의한 패키징을 들 수 있다. 약 20여년 전에 IBM 에서 개발된 이래 많은 발전을 거듭한 이 기술은 최근 기본 기술에 대한 특허권의 소멸과 함께 많은 응용 분야에서 개발이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 따라서 본 고에서는 향후의 가장 유력한 패키징 기술로 인정되고 있는 플립칩 본딩 기술의 특징과 제조 관련 사항을 정리함과 동시에 응용 분야, 특히, OEIC(Optoelectronics Integrated Circuit) 분야에서의 이용 및 개발 현황을 분석, 소개함으로써 이 새로운 패키징 기술에 대한 인식을 제고하고자 한다.

Novel low-volume solder-on-pad (SoP) process is proposed for a fine pitch Cu pillar bump interconnection. A novel solder bumping material (SBM) has been developed for the $60{\mu}m$ pitch SoP using screen printing process. SBM, which is composed of ternary Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu (SAC305) solder powder and a polymer resin, is a paste material to perform a fine-pitch SoP in place of the electroplating process. By optimizing the volumetric ratio of the resin, deoxidizing agent, and SAC305 solder powder; the oxide layers on the solder powder and Cu pads are successfully removed during the bumping process without additional treatment or equipment. The Si chip and substrate with daisy-chain pattern are fabricated to develop the fine pitch SoP process and evaluate the fine-pitch interconnection. The fabricated Si substrate has 6724 under bump metallization (UBM) with a $45{\mu}m$ diameter and $60{\mu}m$ pitch. The Si chip with Cu pillar bump is flip chip bonded with the SoP formed substrate using an underfill material with fluxing features. Using the fluxing underfill material is advantageous since it eliminates the flux cleaning process and capillary flow process of underfill. The optimized interconnection process has been validated by the electrical characterization of the daisy-chain pattern. This work is the first report on a successful operation of a fine-pitch SoP and micro bump interconnection using a screen printing process.

Cu pillar 범프를 사용한 플립칩 접속부는 솔더범프 접속부에 비해 칩과 기판사이의 거리를 감소시키지 않으면서 미세피치 접속이 가능하기 때문에, 특히 기생 캐패시턴스를 억제하기 위해 칩과 기판사이의 큰 거리가 요구되는 RF 패키지에서 유용한 칩 접속공정이다. 본 논문에서는 칩에는 Cu pillar 범프, 기판에는 Sn 범프를 전기도금하고 이들을 플립칩 본딩하여 Cu pillar 범프 접속부를 형성 한 후, Sn 전기도금 범프의 높이에 따른 Cu pillar 범프 접속부의 접속저항과 칩 전단하중을 측정하였다. 전기도금한 Sn 범프의 높이를 5 ${\mu}m$에서 30 ${\mu}m$로 증가시킴에 따라 Cu pillar 범프 접속부의 접속저항이 31.7 $m{\Omega}$에서 13.8 $m{\Omega}$로 향상되었으며, 칩 전단하중이 3.8N에서 6.8N으로 증가하였다. 반면에 접속부의 종횡비는 1.3에서 0.9로 저하하였으며, 접속부의 종횡비, 접속저항 및 칩 전단하중의 변화거동으로부터 Sn 전기도금 범프의 최적 높이는 20 ${\mu}m$로 판단되었다.

Cu is considered as a promising alternative interconnection material to Al-based interconnection materials in Si-based integrated circuits due to its low resistivity and superior resistance to the electromigration. New humping and UBM material systems for solder flip chip interconnection of Cu pads were investigated using electroless-plated copper (E-Cu) and electroless-plated nickel (E-Ni) plating methods as low cost alternatives. Optimally designed E-Ni/E-Cu UBM bilayer material system can be used not only as UBMs for solder bumps but also as bump itself. Electroless-plated E-Ni/E-Cu bumps assembled using anisotropic conductive adhesives on an organic substrate is successfully demonstrated and characterized in this study

Cu pillar 범프를 사용한 플립칩 기술은 솔더범프를 사용한 플립칩 공정에 비해 칩과 기판 사이의 거리를 감소시키지 않으면서 미세피치 접속이 가능하다는 장점이 있다. Cu pillar 범프를 사용한 플립칩 공정은 미세피치화와 더불어 기생 캐패시턴스를 억제하기 위해 칩과 기판 사이에 큰 거리가 요구되는 RF 패키지에서도 유용한 칩 접속공정이다. 본 연구에서는 Sn 캡을 형성한 Cu pillar 범프와 Sn 캡이 없는 Cu pillar 범프를 전기도금으로 형성한 후 플립칩 접속하여 Cu-Sn-Cu 샌드위치 접속구조를 형성하였다. Cu pillar 범프 상에 Sn 캡의 높이를 변화시키며 전기도금한 후, Sn 캡의 높이에 따른 Cu-Sn-Cu 샌드위치 접속구조의 접속저항과 칩 전단하중을 분석하였다. 직경 $25\;{\mu}m$, 높이 $20\;{\mu}m$인 Cu pillar 범프들을 사용하여 형성한 Cu-Sn-Cu 샌드위치 접속구조에서 $10{\sim}25\;{\mu}m$ 범위의 Sn 캡 높이에 무관하게 칩과 기판 사이의 거리는 $44\;{\mu}m$으로 유지되었으며, 접속부당 $14\;m{\Omega}$의 평균 접속저항을 나타내었다.

FC-BGA has advantages over other interconnection methods including high I/O counts, better electrical performance, high throughput, and low profile. But, FC-BGA has a lot of reliability issues. The 2nd level solder joint reliability of the FC-BGA with large chip on laminate substrate was studied in this paper. The purpose of this study is to discuss solder joint failures of 2nd level thermal cycling test. This work has been done to understand the influence of the structure of package, the properties of underfill, the properties and thickness of bismaleimide tiazine substrate and the temperature range of thermal cycling on 2nd level solder joint reliability. The increase of bismaleimide tiazine substrate thickness applied to low modulus underfill was improve of solder joint reliability. The resistance of solder ball fatigue was increased solder ball size in the solder joints of FC-BGA.

We have developed a new COG technique using flip chip solder joining technology for excellent resolution and high quality LCD panels. Using the eutectic Bi-Sn and the eutectic In-Ag solder bumps of 50-80 ${\mu}m$ pitch sizes, a ultrafine interconnection between IC and glass substrate was successfully made at or below $160^{\circ}C$. The contact resistance and reliability of Bi-Sn solder joint showed the superiority over the conventional ACF bonding.
