Abstract With gold prices steadily going up in recent years, copper wire has gained popularity as a means to reduce cost of manufacturing microelectronic components. Performance tradeoff aside, there is an urgent need to thoroughly study the new technology to allay any fear of reliability compromise. Evaluation and optimization of copper wire bonding process is critical. In this paper, novel failure analysis and analytical techniques are applied to the evaluation of copper wire bonding process. Several FA/analytical techniques and FA procedures will be discussed in detail, including novel laser/chemical/plasma decapsulation, FIB, wet chemical etching, reactive ion etching (RIE), cross-section, CSAM, SEM, EDS, and a combination of these techniques. Two case studies will be given to demonstrate the use of these techniques in copper wire bonded devices.

Chain Lengths

Monte Carlo simulations of chain conformations in a restricted spherical volume at relatively high densities of segments were performed for various numbers of chains, N, and chain lengths (number of segments), L, on a tetrahedral lattice. All chains are randomly end-tethered to the surface of the sphere. A relatively uniform surface density of the tethered ends is guaranteed in our simulations. A simultaneous self-avoiding walk of all chains creates starting conformations for a subsequent equilibration. A modified algorithm similar to that of Siepmann and Frenkel is used for the equilibration of the chain conformations. In this paper, only a geometrical excluded volume effect of segments is considered. Various structural and conformational characteristics, e.g. segment densities gS(r), free end densities gF(r) as functions of the position in the sphere (a distance from the center), distributions of the tethered-to-free end distances, ρTF(rTF), etc. are calculated and their physical meaning is discussed. The model is suitable for studies of chain conformations is swollen cores of multimolecular block copolymer micelles and for interpretation of non-radiative excitation energy migration in polymeric micellar systems.

In this work, highly conductive Al-doped ZnO (AZO) films are deposited on transparent and flexible muscovite mica substrates by using the atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique. AZO-mica structures possess high optical transmittance at visible and near-infrared spectral range and retain low electric resistivity, even after continuous bending of up to 800 cycles. Structure performances after bending tests have been supported by atomic force microscopy (AFM) analysis. Based on performed optical and electrical characterizations AZO films on mica are implemented as transparent conductive electrodes in flexible polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) devices. The measured electro-optical characteristics and response time of the proposed devices reveal the higher potential of AZO-mica for future ITO-free flexible optoelectronic applications.
