본 논문에서는 Regulator IC의 불량원인 규명을 통해 반도체 고장분석 방법 및 개선사례를 소개하고자 한다. 고장분석에 사용된 반도체 Package는 8Pin MSOP(Mini Small Outline Package)로, 시장 불량품을 분석한 결과 Regulator IC의 Stitch Bond에 Heel Crack이 발생하여 불안정한 출력을 발생시킴을 알 수 있었다. Stitch Bond Heel Crack의 원인은 Lead Frame부의 박리(Delamination)에 의해 열이나 진동 등의 외부 Stress가 직접 Stitch Bond에 가해져 Crack이 발생된 것으로, Reflow 재현시험을 통해 확인 할 수 있었다. 박리 발생에 의한 Stitch Bond Heel Crack 방지 대책으로 첫째, Bonding Type을 Stitch Bond 에서 Ball Bond로 변경하여 강도를 개선하고 둘째, PCB Layout 변경을 통해 외력이 직접 Regulator IC에 가해지지 않도록 하였다. 개선 결과 현재까지 시장에서 동일 불량은 발생하지 않았다.

We researched by the characteristic of a anisotropic etching of Si wafer and the Si career concerning the flip chip solder bump. Connectors and Anisotropic Conductive Film (ACF) method was already applied to board-to-board interconnection. In place of them, we have focused on board to board interconnection with solder bump by Si carrier, which has been used as Flip chip bonding technology. A major advantage of this technology is that the Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) is connected in the same solder reflow process with other surface mount devices. This technology can be applied to semiconductors and electronic devices for higher functionality, integration and reliability.

The purposes of the paper are to analyze the fracture phenomenon by delamination and cracking when the encapsulant of plastic IC package with polyimide coating shows viscoelastic behavior under hygrothermal loading in the IR soldering process and to suggest more reliable design conditions by the approaches of stress analysis and fracture mechanics. The model is the plastic SOJ package with the polyimide coating surrounding chip and dimpled diepad. On the package without cracks, the optimum position and thickness of polyimide coating to decrease the maximum differences of strains at the bonding surfaces of parts of the package are studied. For the model delaminated fully between the chip and the dimpled diepad, C(t)-integral values are calculated for the various design variables. Finally, the optimal values of design variables to depress the delamination and crack growth in the plastic IC package are obtained.

A novel bumping process using solder bump maker is developed for the maskless low-volume solder on pad (SoP) technology of fine-pitch flip chip bonding. The process includes two main steps: one is the aggregation of powdered solder on the metal pads on a substrate via an increase in temperature, and the other is the reflow of the deposited powder to form a low-volume SoP. Since the surface tension that exists when the solder is below its melting point is the major driving force of the solder deposit, only a small quantity of powdered solder adjacent to the pads can join the aggregation process to obtain a uniform, low-volume SoP array on the substrate, regardless of the pad configurations. Through this process, an SoP array on an organic substrate with a pitch of $130{\mu}m$ is successfully formed.

실제 사용시 신뢰성을 보장하기 위하여, 고온에서 장시간 동안의 시효로 인한 ACA COG(Anisotropic Conductive Chip On Glass) 접합 특성의 변화가 연구되었다. 모든 접합 시편들은 16$0^{\circ}C$에서 156시간 동안 유지되었고 시효하는 동안의 접촉저항의 변화는 감소하였다. 특히, 156시간이후, 4000개 /$\textrm{mm}^2$의 입자밀도를 가진 ACA에서는 접촉저항의 벼노하가 나타나지 않았다. 입자크기의 경우 작은 입자를 가진 ACA는 16$0^{\circ}C$에서 시효후에도 접촉저항의 변화를 보이지 않았다. 또한 4000개/$\textrm{mm}^2$ 및 5$\mu\textrm{m}$ 입자를 가진 ACA를 사용한 시편은 접합상태가 안정하였기 때문에 16$0^{\circ}C$에서도 경화수지의 팽창 및 리플로우(reflow)에 의한 영향을 받지 않았다. 따라서 이 ACA에서는 16$0^{\circ}C$에서 156시간 동안 시효한 후에도 오픈(open)이 나타나지 않았다.

Since lead (Pb)-free solders for electronics have higher melting points than that of eutectic Sn-Pb solder, they need higher soldering temperatures. In order to decrease the soldering temperature we tried to coat Sn-Bi layer on $Sn-3.5\%Ag$ solder by electroplating, which applies the mechanism of transient liquid phase bonding to soldering. During heating Bi will diffuse into the $Sn-3.5\%Ag$ solder and this results in decreasing soldering temperature. As bonding samples, the 1608 capacitor electroplated with Sn, and PCB, its surface was finished with electroless-plated Ni/Au, were selected. The $Sn-95.7\%Bi$ coated Sn-3.5Ag was supplied as a solder between the capacitor and PCB land. The samples were reflowed at $220^{\circ}C$, which was lower than that of normal reflow temperature, $240\~250^{\circ}C$, for the Pb-free. As experimental result, the joint of $Sn-95.7\%Bi$ coated Sn-3.5Ag showed high shear strength. In the as-reflowed state, the shear strength of the coated solder showed 58.8N, whereas those of commercial ones were 37.2N (Sn-37Pb), 31.4N (Sn-3Ag-0.5Cu), and 40.2N (Sn-8Zn-3Bi). After thermal shock of 1000 cycles between $-40^{\circ}C$ and $+125^{\circ}C$, shear strength of the coated solder showed 56.8N, whereas the previous commercial solders were in the range of 32.3N and 45.1N. As the microstructures, in the solder $Ag_3Sn$ intermetallic compound (IMC), and along the bonded interface $Ni_3Sn_4$ IMC were observed.

교류자기장에 의한 유도가열체를 이용하여 LCD 평판 디스플레이 패널의 가열을 최소화하면서 IC 칩을 실장시킬 수 있는 COG 접속기술에 대해 연구하였다. 크기 5mm${\times}$5mm, 두께 $600{\mu}m$의 Cu 도금막으로 제조한 유도가열체에 14 kHz, 230 Oe의 교류자기장을 인가시 60초 이내에 유도가열체의 온도가 Sn-3.5Ag 무연솔더의 리플로우에 필요한 $250^{\circ}C$에 도달하였으며, 유도가열체로부터 2 mm 떨어진 부위에서부터 기판의 온도는 $100^{\circ}C$ 이하로 유지되었다. 이와 같은 Cu 도금막 유도가열체에 14 kHz, 230 Oe의 교류자기장을 120초 동안 인가하여 Sn-3.5Ag 솔더범프를 리플로우 시켜 COG 실장을 하는 것이 가능하였다.

A novel bumping process using solder bump maker (SBM) is developed for fine-pitch flip chip bonding. It features maskless screen printing process. A selective solder bumping mechanism without the mask is based on the material design of SBM. Maskless screen printing process can implement easily a fine-pitch, low-cost, and lead-free solder-on-pad (SoP) technology. Its another advantage is ternary or quaternary lead-free SoP can be formed easily. The process includes two main steps: one is the thermally activated aggregation of solder powder on the metal pads on a substrate and the other is the reflow of the deposited powder on the pads. Only a small quantity of solder powder adjacent to the pads can join the first step, so a quite uniform SoP array on the substrate can be easily obtained regardless of the pad configurations. Through this process, an SoP array on an organic substrate with a pitch of 130 ${\mu}m$ is, successfully, formed.

In an attempt to estimate the wetting properties of wettable metal layers by wetting balance method, an analysis of wetting curves of the coating layer was performed. Based on the analysis, wetting properties of UBM-coated Si-plate were estimated by the new wettability indices. The wetting curves of the one and both sides-coated UBM layers have the similar shape and show the similar tendency to the temperature. So the wetting property estimation of one side coating is possible with wetting balance method. For UBM of Si-chip, Cr/Cu/Au UBM is better than Ti/Ni/Au in the point of wetting time. At general reflow temperature, the wettability of high melting point solders(Sn-Sb, Sn-Ag) is better than that of few melting point ones(Sn-Bi, Sn-In).The contact angle of the one side coated plate to the solder can be calculated from the farce balance equation by measuring the static state force and the tilt angle.

In this paper, the principles, types and characteristics of the laser and laser soldering are introduced. Laser soldering methods for electronics, metals, semiconductors are also presented. Laser soldering is a non-contact process that transfers energy to solder joint by a precisely controlled beam. Demands for laser soldering are increasing due to bonding for complex circuits and local heating in micro joint. Laser absorption ratio depends on materials, and each material has different absorption or reflectivity of the laser beam, which requires fine adjustment of the laser beam. Laser types and operating conditions are also important factors for laser soldering performance. In this paper, the performance of Nd:YAG laser soldering is compared to the hot blast reflow. Meanwhile, a diode laser gives different wavelength and smaller parts with high performance, but it has various reliability issues such as heat loss, high power, and cooling technology. These issues need to be improved in the future, and further studies for laser micro-joining and soldering are required.
