A novel interconnection technology based on a 52InSn solder was developed for flexible display applications. The display industry is currently trying to develop a flexible display, and one of the crucial technologies for the implementation of a flexible display is to reduce the bonding process temperature to less than $150^{\circ}C$. InSn solder interconnection technology is proposed herein to reduce the electrical contact resistance and concurrently achieve a process temperature of less than $150^{\circ}C$. A solder bump maker (SBM) and fluxing underfill were developed for these purposes. SBM is a novel bumping material, and it is a mixture of a resin system and InSn solder powder. A maskless screen printing process was also developed using an SBM to reduce the cost of the bumping process. Fluxing underfill plays the role of a flux and an underfill concurrently to simplify the bonding process compared to a conventional flip-chip bonding using a capillary underfill material. Using an SBM and fluxing underfill, a $20{\mu}m$ pitch InSn solder SoP array on a glass substrate was successfully formed using a maskless screen printing process, and two glass substrates were bonded at $130^{\circ}C$.

A chemorheological analysis of a no-flow underfill was conducted using curing kinetics through isothermal and dynamic differential scanning calorimetry, viscosity measurement, and solder (Sn/27In/54Bi, melting temperature of $86^{\circ}C$) wetting observations. The analysis used an epoxy system with an anhydride curing agent and carboxyl fluxing capability to remove oxide on the surface of a metal filler. A curing kinetic of the no-flow underfill with a processing temperature of $130^{\circ}C$ was successfully completed using phenomenological models such as autocatalytic and nth-order models. Temperature-dependent kinetic parameters were identified within a temperature range of $125^{\circ}C$ to $135^{\circ}C$. The phenomenon of solder wetting was visually observed using an optical microscope, and the conversion and viscosity at the moment of solder wetting were quantitatively investigated. It is expected that the curing kinetics and rheological property of a no-flow underfill can be adopted in arbitrary processing applications.

In this paper, the effects of conventional and newly developed elastomer modified underfill materials on the mechanical shock reliability of BGA board assembly were studied for application in mobile electronics. The mechanical shock reliability was evaluated through a three point dynamic bending test proposed by Motorola. The thermal properties of the underfills were measured by a DSC machine. Through the DSC results, the curing condition of the underfills was selected. Two types of underfills showed similar curing behavior. During the dynamic bending reliability test, the strain of the PCB was step increased from 0.2% to 1.5% until the failure circuit was detected at a 50 kHz sampling rate. The dynamic bending reliability of BGA board assembly using elastomer modified underfill was found to be superior to that of conventional underfill. From mechanical and microstructure analyses, the disturbance of crack propagation by the presence of submicron elastomer particles was considered to be mainly responsible for that result rather than the shear strength or elastic modulus of underfill joint.

The present study is devoted to investigate the transient flow and to estimate the filling time fur underfill process by using the numerical model established on the fluid momentum equation. For optimization of the design and selection of process parameters, this study extensively presents an estimation of the filling time in the view points of some important factors related to underfill materials and flip-chip geometry. From the results, we conclude that the filling time changes with respect to the under fill materials because of different viscosity, surface tension coefficient and contact angle. It reveals that, as the gap height increases, the filling time decreases substantially, and goes to the saturated values.

In this study, the interfacial reactions and electrical properties of the Sn-35(wt%)Pb-2(wt%)Ag/Cu BGA solder joints after the thermal shock test were investigated with three different kinds of the underfill used commercially. The microstructural evolutions of the solder joints were observed using a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the electrical resistance of the solder joints were evaluated with the numbers of thermal shock cycle using the four-prove method. The increase in the $Cu_{6}Sn_{5}$ IMC thickness led to the increase in the electrical resistance with increasing the numbers of the thermal shock cycle. The increase in the electrical resistance of the BGA packages with the underfill was smaller than that without the underfill. The silica contained underfill led to the higher electrical resistance.

열하중에 의한 언더필/칩 계면의 응력을 유한요소법을 이용하여 구하였다. 먼저 실리카 입자의 부피 분율이 언더필 재료의 물성에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 세 가지 재료 세트에 대하여 실리카 입자의 부피 분율에 따른 영계수, 포아슨비, 영팽창 계수를 Mori-Tanaka방법을 이용하여 계산하였고, 언더필과 칩이 형성하는 edge및 wedge에 대한 singularity를 계산하였다. 그 다음에는 앞에서 계산한 재료물성치를 가지고 실리카 입자의 부피 분율에 따른 언더필/칩 계면의 응력을 몇 가지 플립칩 형상에 대하여 살펴보았다. 언더필이 균일한 재료라는 가정과 플립칩 어셈블리를 구성하고 있는 재료들이 선형탄 성적거동을 하고 등방성을 보이며 그들의 성질이 온도에 무관하다는 가정 하에 다섯 가지의 플립칩 어셈블리 모델이 고려되었다.

본 연구에서는 언더필 공정에서 플립칩과 기판사이의 모세관 작용에 의한 언더필 유동 경향에 대해 살펴보고, 언더필의 점도와 토출 위치에 따른 언더필 유동특성에 대해 살펴보았다. 플립칩의 사이즈는 $5mm{\times}5mm{\times}0.65^tmm$이며, 솔더 범프의 직경은 100 ${\mu}m$, 피치(pitch)간격은 150 ${\mu}m$, 총 1024 I/O(Input/Output)단자의 Full Grid 형태의 플립칩을 사용하였다. 기판으로 투명한 글래스 기판을 사용하였으며 플립칩 패키징의 접합 높이는 50 ${\mu}m$으로 제작하였다. 언더필의 점도 및 토출 위치가 유동특성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위해, 세 종류의 점도 특성($2000{\sim}3700$cps)을 가지는 언더필과 토출 위치를 모서리와 중앙부위로 설정하였다. 언더필의 유동특성 및 충진 시간(filling time)은 CCD카메라를 사용하여 관찰하였다. 실험 결과, 언더필은 솔더 범프에 의한 유동 저항으로 인하여 가장자리 효과(edge effect)가 나타나 칩의 양쪽 측면 유동이 더 빠르게 진전되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 중앙 부위에서 토출한 경우에 비해 모서리에서 토출한 경우가, 가장자리 효과가 크고 이로 인해 칩의 양쪽 측면 유동이 더 빠르게 진전되어 충진 시간이 더 빠르다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 점도가 낮을수록, 언더필 유동이 빠르고 가장자리 효과가 크게 나타나며 전체 충진 시간이 감소됨을 알 수 있었다.

Drop simulations of the board level in the flip chips with solder joints have been highlighted for years, recently. Also, through the study on the life prediction of thermal fatigue in the flip chips considering underfill, its importance has been issued greatly. In this paper, dynamic analysis using the implicit method in the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is carried out to assess the factors effecting on flip chips considering underfill. The design parameters are size and thickness of chip, and size, pitch and array of solder ball with composition of Sn1.0Ag0.5Cu. The board systems by JEDEC standard is modeled with various design parameter combinations, and through these simulations, maximum yield stress and strain at each chip are shown at the solder balls. Modal analysis is simulated to find out the relation between drop impact and vibration of the board system.

Plastic ball grid array (PBGA)에 대한 강력한 임의 진동에서의 신뢰성을 실험적으로 검증하였다. 실험시편을 만들기 위해 데이지 체인이 형성된 PCB에 칩을 실장시킨 후 그중 절반은 underfill 공정을 거쳤다. 임의 진동 프로파일은 인공위성 전자장비의 신뢰성 검증에서 사용되는 두 종류의 진동 수준, 즉 판정시험 (acceptance level) 및 합격시험(qualification level)을 사용하였으며 각각의 power spectrum density는 22.7 Grms와 32.1 Grms였다. 실험후 underfill과 관계없이 모든 샘플에서 솔더의 균열이 발생되지 않았으며, 차후 항공 및 우주용 전자장비를 대치할 수 있는 패키징 구조의 가능성을 보여 줬다.
