The introduction of quad flat non-leaded frames now provides manufacturers with
an ability to significantly reduce the finished size of a surface mounted
component. Component manufacturers have begun to convert many designs to quad
flat non-leaded (QFN) format due to the significant cost savings provided. By
widening the frame strip and increasing site density, manufacturers can process
a larger n... hiện toàn bộ

Strong bond between the gold wire and the silver-plated leadframe is
significantly crucial for maintaining either bondability or reliability during
IC (integrated circuit) manufacturing process and IC application in the fields.
This study investigated the surface and grain structure of the silver-plated
film on the copper leadframe in terms of surface roughness test by atomic force
microscopy (AFM... hiện toàn bộ

Viscoplastic finite-element simulation methodologies were utilized to predict
solder joint reliability for a same die size, stacked, chip scale, ball grid
array package under accelerated temperature cycling conditions (-40C to +125C,
15 min ramps/15 min dwells). The effects of multiple die attach material
configurations were investigated along with the thickness of the mold cap and
spacer die. The... hiện toàn bộ

The last few years have seen the rapid growth of products in the wireless
segment. Electronic manufacturing services (EMS) providers have evolved to offer
testing and box build services to their customers. Data management is vital in
the test, debug and rework areas. Technicians who debug the board provide
feedback vital for process and even design improvements. The DebugTech system
was developed ... hiện toàn bộ

The traditional wire bonder design employs a pivoting z-axis, which is mounted
on an orthogonal x/y-stage. This type of system is now approaching its physical
limitations. The new revolutionary and unique bond head design described in this
paper uses entirely new kinematics, which allows for higher accelerations, as
well as a stiff, light design. The vibrations, even at highest speed, can be

The development of both Opto "photonic" and RF technology into silicon based
chip solutions is creating a demand for smaller, more cost effective solutions
to house the devices. The suppliers of various cavity package options are now
developing new designs to meet the cost and volume production demands generated
by these emerging industries. Ceramic based parts are being developed to provide
more ... hiện toàn bộ

The new challenge is to incorporate not only passive components, but as well
active circuitry (ICs) and the necessary thermal management. Ultra thin chips
(i.e. silicon dies thinned down to <50/spl mu/m total thickness) lend themselves
to reach these goals. Chips with that thickness can be embedded in the
dielectric layers of modern laminate PCBs. Micro via technology allows one to
contact the emb... hiện toàn bộ
The compatibility of flux and underfill material systems significantly
contributes to the formation and growth of process-induced defects and further
influences flip chip reliability. Various no-clean fluxes, along with a
water-soluble flux used as the baseline, are tested with two fast flow, snap
cure underfills. Liquid-to-liquid thermal shock and temperature and humidity
tests are conducted to e... hiện toàn bộ
The semiconductor industry is in the early stages of a once-in-a-generation
packaging substitution. The primary substitution is surface mount packages to
area array packages. Within area array packages, a secondary substitution is
taking place which is the replacement of wire bonding with flip chip as the die
level interface. Flip chip encompasses all bumping technologies that interface a
semicond... hiện toàn bộ
