Advanced flip-chip technology is the key technique used to achieve a high-density assembly of components onto printed circuit boards (PCB). Increasing demands are being made on electronics manufacturers to use flip chip components with greater input/output capabilities at pitches below 0.100 mm for their future applications. Furthermore, the advancement in this technology is challenged by the requ...... hiện toàn bộ
For many of today's most advanced ICs and system-on-chip (SoC) devices, test costs have risen to as much as 50% of the total manufacturing cost. A major component of test cost is the time and resources required for test-program development. There are time-proven methods and test-development tools - both in-house and commercial - for translating a semiconductor device's functional events and scan p...... hiện toàn bộ
With the growing acceptance of flip chip packaging comes product and processing complexity requiring unproved process control and quality assurance capabilities. This paper describes the inspection requirements and challenges associated with flip chip processing. 100% 3-D inspection has become an important and integral part of the flip chip back-end process at various stages. The two major areas t...... hiện toàn bộ
Wireless communication systems continue to progress to wideband modulation formats. In particular, third generation (3G) wireless and wireless local area networks (WLAN) present extraordinary increases in channel bandwidth. As a result, designers are confronted with a greater divergence between the sinusoidal and modulated stimulus responses of a device. Traditional S-Parameter measurement techniq...... hiện toàn bộ

Underfill materials play a major role in the reliability of flip chip packages. These adhesives have been the subject of much research and development in the last few years, and improvement in material performance has been obtained. However, the assembly method still remains unchanged, with the underfill being dispensed at the individual die level after flip chip reflow. Even with the arrival of "...... hiện toàn bộ
