It was studied in the present work how the thermal cycling performance of LOC (lead on chip) packages depends on the package construct or leadframe materials. First, package body thickness and Au wire diameter were manipulated for the selection of proper package design. Secondly, two different types of leadframe materials (i.e. copper and 52%Fe-48%Ni alloy) were tested to determine the better material for improved reliability margin of plastically encapsulated microelectronic packages. This work shows that manipulating package body thickness was more effective than an increase of Au wire from 23$\mu\textrm{m}$ to 33$\mu\textrm{m}$ for the prevention of wire debonding failure. Further, this work indicates that the LOC packages including the copper leadframes can be more susceptible to thermal cycling reliability degradation due to chip cracking than those including the alloy leadframes.

TSOP(Thin Small Outline Package)는 가전제품, 자동차, 모바일, 데스크톱 PC등을 위한 저렴한 비용의 패키지로, 리드 프레임을 사용하는 IC패키지이다. TSOP는 BGA와 flip-chip CSP에 비해 우수한 성능은 아니지만, 저렴한 가격 때문에 많은 분야에 널리 사용되고 있습니다. 그러나, TSOP 패키지에서 몰딩공정 할 때 리드프레임의 열적 처짐 현상이 빈번하게 일어나고, 반도체 다이와 패드 사이의 Au 와이어 떨어짐 현상이 이슈가 되고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서는 리드프레임의 구조를 개선하고 낮은 CTE를 갖는 재료로 대체해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 열적 안정성을 갖도록 리드프레임 구조 개선을 위해 수치해석적 방법으로 진행하였다. TSOP 패키지에서 리드프레임의 열적 처짐은 반도체와 다이 사이의 거리(198 um~366 um)에서 안티-디플렉션의 위치에 따라 시뮬레이션을 진행하였다. 안티-디플렉션으로 TSOP 패키지의 열적 처짐은 확실히 개선되는 것을 확인 했다. 안티-디플렉션의 위치가 inside(198 um)일 때 30.738 um 처짐을 보였다. 이러한 결과는 리드프레임의 열적 팽창을 제한하는데 안티-디플렉션이 기여하고 있기 때문이다. 그러므로 리드프레임 패키지에 안티-디플렉션을 적용하게 되면 낮은 CTE를 갖는 재료로 대체하지 않아도 열적 처짐을 향상시킬 수 있음을 기대할 수 있다.

An innovative packaging solution, Flip Chip with Copper (Cu) Column bond on lead (BOL) Enhanced Process (fcCuBE$^{(R)}$) delivers a cost effective, high performance packaging solution over typical bond on capture pad (BOC) technology. These advantages include improved routing efficiency on the substrate top layer thus allowing conversion functionality; furthermore, package cost is lowered by means of reduced substrate layer count and removal of solder on pad (SOP). On the other hand, as electronic packaging technology develops to meet the miniaturization trend from consumer demand, reliability testing will become an important issue in advanced technology area. In particular, electromigration (EM) of flip chip bumps is an increasing reliability concern in the manufacturing of integrated circuit (IC) components and electronic systems. This paper presents the results on EM characteristics on BOL and BOC structures under electrical current stressing in order to investigate the comparison between two different typed structures. EM data was collected for over 7000 hours under accelerated conditions (temperatures: $125^{\circ}C$, $135^{\circ}C$, and $150^{\circ}C$ and stress current: 300 mA, 400 mA, and 500 mA). All samples have been tested without any failures, however, we attempted to find morphologies induced by EM effects through cross-sectional analysis and investigated the interfacial reaction characteristics between BOL and BOC structures under current stressing. EM damage was observed at the solder joint of BOC structure but the BOL structure did not show any damage from the effects of EM. The EM data indicates that the fcCuBE$^{(R)}$ BOL Cu column bump provides a significantly better EM reliability.

Thermal fatigue strength of the solder joints is the most critical issue for TSOP(Thin Small Outline Package) because the leads of this package are extremely short and thermal deformation cannot be absorbed by the deflection of the lead. And the TSOP body can be subject to early fatigue failures in thermal cycle environments. This paper was discussed distribution of thermal stresses at near the joint between silicon chip and die pad and investigated their reliability of solder joints of TSOP with 42 alloy clad lead frame on printed circuit board through FEM and 3 different thermal cycling tests. It has been found that the stress concentration around the encapsulated edge structure for internal crack between the silicon chip and Cu alloy die pad. And using 42 alloy clad, The reliability of TSOP body was improved. In case of using 42 alloy clad die pad(t=0.03mm). $$\sigma$_{VMmax}$ is 69Mpa. It is showed that 15% improvement of the strength in the TSOP body in comparison with using Cu alloy die pad $($\sigma$_{VMmax}$=81MPa). In solder joint of TSOP, the maximum equivalent plastic strain and Von Mises stress concentrate on the heel of solder fillet and crack was initiated in it's region and propagated through the interface between lead and solder. Finally, the modified Manson-Coffin equation and relationship of the ratio of $N_{f}$ to nest(η) and cumulative fracture probability(f) with respect to the deviations of the 50% fracture probability life $(N_{f 50%})$ were achieved.

Workstation이나 PC seven옹 메모리칩의 고밀도 실장을 위한 stack chips package (SCP)를 만들기 위해서는 여러 개의 리드프레임이 수직으로 접합되어야 한다. 이를 위하여 Cu리드프레임 위에 전기화학증착법으로 Sn 또는 Sn/Ag를 도금한 후 XRD와 SEM으로 미세구조를 분석하였다. 그리고 두 개의 시편을 $250^{\circ}C$에서 10분간 열처리하고 가압하여 접합한 후 전단강도를 측정하여 비교하였다. Sn만이 도금된 경우, Sn과 Cu리드프레임이 반응하여 $Cu_3Sn$이 생성되었고, Sn/Ag의 경우에는 $Cu_3Sn$외에 Sn과 Ag가 반응하여 $Ag_3Sn$이 형성되었다. 전단강도는 Sn/Ag의 경우가 Sn만이 도금되었을 때보다 약 1.2배 정도 강하였다. 이는 접합면에 형성된 $Ag_3Sn$이 전단강도를 강화시켰기 때문이다.

TCP(Tape Carrier Package), COG (Chip On Glass), COF(Chip On Film) are three methods for connecting LDI(LCD Driver IC) with LCD panels. Especially COF is growing its portion of market place because of low cost and fine pitch correspondence. But COF has a problem of the lead broken failure in LCD module process and the usage of customer. During PCB (Printed Circuit Board) bonding process, the mismatch of the coefficient of thermal expansion between PCB and D-IC makes stress-concentration in COF lead, and also D-IC bending process during module assembly process makes the level of stress in COF lead higher. As an affecting factors of lead-broken failure, the effects of SR(Solder Resister) coating on the COF lead, surface roughness and grain size of COF lead, PI(Polyimide) film thickness, lead width and the ACF(Anisotropic Conductive Film) overlap were studied, The optimization of these affecting manufacturing processes and materials were suggested and verified to prevent the lead-broken failure.

본 연구에서는 리드-온-칩 패키징 기술을 이용한 반도체 제품에서 디바이스의 패드의 위치가 온도변화로 인한 신뢰성 문제에 대단히 중요하다는 것을 보여준다. 컴퓨터를 이용한 이론적 계산 및 실험을 통해 패시베이션 파손으로 대변되는 신뢰성 문제가 디바이스의 코너 부위에 위치한 패턴에서 가장 심하게 발생할 수 있다는 것을 보여준다. 따라서, 패시베시션 파손 등으로 인한 디바이스의 신뢰성 저하를 예방하기 위해서는 취약한 패드 부위는 다바이스의 테두리 부위보다는 중앙부위에 위치하도록 설계하는 것이 바람직하다는 것을 본 연구에서는 지적하고 있다.

A packaging technology based on flip-chip bonding and Pb-free solder for silicon pressure sensors on printed circuit board (PCB) is presented. First, the bump formation process was conducted by Pb-free solder. Ag-Sn-Cu solder and the pressed-screen printing method were used to fabricate solder bumps. The fabricated solder bumps had $189-223{\mu}m$ width, $120-160{\mu}m$ thickness, and 5.4-6.9 standard deviation. Also, shear tests was conducted to measure the bump shear strength by a Dage 2400 PC shear tester; the average shear strength was 74 g at 0.125 mm/s of test speed and $5{\mu}m$ shear height. Then, silicon pressure sensor packaging was implemented using the Pb-free solder and bump formation process. The characteristics of the pressure sensor were analogous to the results obtained when the pressure sensor dice are assembled and packaged using the standard wire-bonding technique.
