Three Dimensional (3D) Packaging has become an industry obsession as the market demand continues to grow toward higher packaging densities and smaller form factor. In the meanwhile, the 3D die-to-wafer (D2W) packaging structure is gaining popularity due to its high manufacturing throughput and low cost per package. In this paper, the development of the assembly process for a 3D die-to-wafer packaging technology, that leverages the wafer level assembly technique and flip chip process, is introduced. Research efforts were focused on the high-density flip chip wafer level assembly techniques, as well as the challenges, innovations and solutions associated with this type of 3D packaging technology. Processing challenges and innovations addressed include flip chip fluxing methods for very fine-pitch and small bump sizes; wafer level flip chip assembly program creation and yield improvements; and set up of the Pb-free reflow profile for the assembled wafer. 100% yield was achieved on the test vehicle wafer that has totally 1,876 flip chip dies assembled on it. This work has demonstrated that the flip chip 3D die-to-wafer packaging architecture can be processed with robust yield and high manufacturing throughput, and thus to be a cost effective, rapid time to market alternative to emerging 3D wafer level integration methodologies.

In this paper, a novel flip chip interconnect structure called Bond-On-Lead (BOL) and its ability to reduce stress in the sensitive sub-surface ELK (Extra Low K) layers of the die is presented. BOL is a new low cost flip chip packaging solution which was developed by STATSChipPAC to dramatically reduce the cost of flip chip packaging. The BOL solution allows for efficient substrate routing by virtue of the use of narrow BOL pads and the removal of solder mask in the area of the BOL pads, which eliminates the limitations associated with solder mask opening sizes and positional tolerances. In addition to the compelling cost benefits, modeling results are confirmed with empirical reliability testing data to show that BOL is superior to the traditional Bond-on-Capture Pad (BOC) configuration from a mechanical stress and reliability perspective. The focus of this paper is on the theoretical analysis of the stress, strain, and warpage associated with the BOL configuration compared with the traditional BOC structure. For the package deformation, the global finite element method is used to simulate the package warpage. For the local bumping reliability, the focus is on the ELK layers which are the critical locations affecting the package's reliability. The local finite element simulation is conducted to compare the critical ELK layers stresses with BOL structure vs. with traditional BOC structure.

With an increase in the number of transistors (higher power), shrinking processor size (smaller die), and increasing clock speeds (higher frequency) for next generation microprocessors, heat dissipation at the silicon die level has become a critical focus area for microprocessor architecture and design. In addition, power removal at low cost continues to remain the key challenge as we develop the next generation packaging technologies. Novel Thermal Interface Materials (TIM) are required to be designed and developed to meet these new package thermal targets. This paper presents an overview of the novel TIM technologies developed at Intel including greases, phase change materials (PCM), gels, polymer solder hybrids, and solder TIM for multiple generations of desktop, server and mobile microprocessors. The advantages and limitations of these TIM technologies in the thermal management of flip chip packaging are reviewed for Intel’s microprocessors.

Many mobile applications strive for the thinnest package possible, and therefore benefit from the high density of basic Fan Out technology. At the same time, Fan Out has evolved from a simple, single die packaging solution into a high-density solution enabling more complex 2D and 3D connectivity. Fan Out first went into volume manufacturing in 2009 with a simple, single die package using eWLB. For the next few years, it was only thought of in this context. Then in 2016, two packages came into production that broke this stereotype. The first was a hybrid, very high-density Fan Out combined with a BGA package called FOCoS for server applications. The second was a 3D PoP structure for mobile cellular phone applications called InFO. With these structures, Fan Out became a more versatile tool, capable of wider applicability. And since then, multiple manufacturers have continued the evolution of Fan Out's capabilities into more and more packaging opportunities. This presentation will illustrate how the integration of a wide variety of packaging technologies, wafer level processing, substrate evolution and Flip Chip packaging have all come together into both simple and complex packages structures. We will further explore the higher levels of integration and sophistication available using Fan Out as a basic manufacturing technology, describing the evolving functionality and complexity achieved by combining low cost materials and innovative process flows. By using such combinations of tools and processes, the resulting packages are only limited by our imagination and creativity.
