Polymeric encapsulant is widely used to protect the integrated circuit chips and thus to enhance the reliability of electronic packages. Residual stresses are introduced in the plastic package when the polymer is cooled from the curing temperature to ambient, from which many reliability issues arise, including warpage of the package, premature interfacial failure, and degraded interconnections. Bimaterial strip bending experiment has been employed successfully to monitor the evolution of the residual stresses in underfrill resins for flip chip applications. A numerical analysis is developed to predict the residual stresses, which agree well with the experimental measurements. The changes of material properties, such as flexural modulus and coefficient of thermal expansion, of the resins with temperature are taken into account in the finite element analysis.

Abstract This paper presents a comparative study of backside sample preparation techniques with applicability to conventional as well as flip chip package types. We will cover mechanical (grinding and milling tools), chemical (wet and dry chemistries) and other approaches such as laser ablation. Backside sample preparation is very challenging. The preparation process flow starts with decapsulation of the ceramic or plastic package, continues with the die paddle removal, silicon thinning and finishes with silicon polishing. The techniques involved include mechanical, chemical and other novel approaches for ceramic and plastic package. Today, only CNC milling can cover the whole process for almost any kind of packages. Nevertheless, photo ablation is a rising technology for package decapsulation. In addition, chemical wet etch can be used to perform silicon thinning and polishing. We will illustrate the complexity of the process through examples. The first one is a ceramic package where the main issue is the hardness of ceramic. The second one is a TSOP package where the main challenge is the chip scaled package. Both will be observed through the IR emission microscope to demonstrate the efficiency of the preparation.

Abstract Current methods used for package level destructive physical analysis (DPA) such as chemical and mechanical decapsulation methods, reactive ion etching (RIE) and diamond saw x-section methods could potentially result in artifacts such as die cracking, delamination or corrosion when used on complex packaging technologies such as multiple thin die stacked packages with combination of flip chip and wire bond interconnections. Many of the shortcoming of these ubiquitous DPA tools are being addressed by a laser milling approach to DPA. The system described in this paper consists of a ultraviolet (UV) laser used for local micromachining or milling to access package internal features and a near infrared(IR) laser used for precise soldering of fine wires to enable testing and fault isolation. Applications of the laser milling tool described in the paper are 1) Delayering of multilayer printed circuit board (PCB) substrates to expose internal metal traces so that they can be tested to fault isolate the failure without loosing electrical functionality of the product. 2) Silicon milling to expose flip chip interconnections. 3) Package cross sectioning and 4) Plastic package decapsulation.

AbstractPlastic packaging materials tend to absorb moisture from ambient environment and get swollen, this may raise hygro-stress in plastic electronic package and redistribute the internal stress. In this paper, we reviewed the dramatic deformation of a plastic package (Flip Chip Plastic Ball Grid Array-FCPBGA) due to moisture absorption first, then hygro-thermo-mechanical stress of the plastic package and its evolution during a period of three months were investigated with finite element method, user development was performed for this investigation. The finite element model was verified with hygro-thermal deformation of the FCPBGA measured with a 3-D moiré interferometry system. Following findings were obtained: A. Thermal stress field was changed a lot due to moisture absorption; B. Thermal stress of chip was released to some extent, but peal stress up to 62.2MPa occurred to the solder bump, thus the danger of Under Bump Metal (UBM) opening increased.
