Integrated Circuits packaging Contents Introduction to the IC packaging world Packaging families Hybrids Standard industry packages Direct Chip Attach Multi-chip Modules (MCM) System in Package (SiP) Technical aspects Temperature Enclosures - Encapsulation Electrical interconnections Failures Integrated Circuits packaging

“Everything in electronics between the chip and the system” IC Packaging “Everything in electronics between the chip and the system” IMAPS (International Microelectronics And Packaging Society) Package specifications Electrical (optical sometimes) : Carry clean signals from/to the dies(s). Shielding if it’s a concern (IC-EMC). Thermal : Evacuate the heat, avoid hot-spots. Mechanical : Physical protection against shocks, dust, water. Easy handling, small and light. Manufacturing : Modularity, design reuse. Reliability, cost. Compatibility with contractors workshop. Introduction to the packaging world

Introduction to the packaging world Front-end Wafer Level Package (WLP) Trough-Silicon-Via (TSV) MEMS packaging Back-end High-density PCB Wire bonding Flex Hybrids The big packaging companies: AMKOR (USA) ASE Global (Taiwan) STATS ChipPAC (Singapore) SPIL (Taiwan) Introduction to the packaging world

New concepts for smaller/faster/cheaper Single die packaging Hybrid Packaging families

Hybrids Mature technology Built on ceramic, glass, metal. Chips are bonded directly on the substrate. Passives are printed + “fired” (thick-film) or deposited (thin-film) on the substrate. Precise values achieved by laser trimming. Hybrids

Standard packages formats Enclosures Connections Arrangement Glass-Metal Ceramic Plastic Leaded (through-all or surface mount ) Leadless (surface mount) Balls / Columns (surface mount) Discrete In-line Dual-in-Line Quad Matrix Each package has to be selected according to some specifications and assembly capabilities. Standard industry packages

Standard packages details : Lead frame “External leads” “no lead” Memory device Standard industry packages

Standard packages details: balls + bonding “Cavity-Up” “Cavity-Down” Reduced Rth-ca Balls are used for plastic “light” package, packages with ceramic or metals use hard balls or columns. Standard industry packages

Package with wire bonding :process Wafer lapping Dicing Adhesive deposition Pick-and-place Wire bonding Molding Lead finish Lead forming Marking Singulation Inspection + test Ball attach CERN TTCrx with substrate QFP Lead frame Standard industry packages

Standard packages details: balls + flip-chip GBT SerDes Passive components can be embedded on the substrate Standard industry packages

Wafer Level Package (WLP) Front-end process Small and low-cost for big volumes Good electrical performances Fine pitch PCB required Signals fan-out with RDL (re-distribution layer) Standard industry packages

Standard industry packages WLP process Standard industry packages

Chip Scale Package (CSP) More a definition rather than a technique, simply means that the package-to-die area ratio is not bigger than 1,2. Standard industry packages

Low cost and low profile COB (Chip On Board) Cheap devices (clocks, calculators) FCOB (Flipped Chip on Board) SO-DIMM memories, Mobile phones COF (Chip On Flex) LCD drivers Direct Chip Attach

MCM (Multi-Chip Module) Several dies mounted on the same substrate to provide a finished module. good integration better electrical performances ( like short propagation delay) MCM-C and MCM-D are inherited from hybrid technology. Technology Support Process Spacing/Width MCM-D (Deposited) Alumina,BeO… photolithographic 20um MCM-C (Ceramic) Co-fired ceramic printing 50um MCM-L (Laminate) Organic laminate HD PCB 75um MCM-S (Silicon) * Silicon foundry process <10um * MCM-S never managed to be a very succesful technology itself. Multi-Chip Modules

MCM examples MCM-C (Pentium Pro) MCM-D (Atlas experiment) MCM-L (Amkor) MCM vs Single die package Multi-Chip Modules

Xilinx Virtex 7 = State of the Art MCM Multi-Chip Modules

MCM stacked in 3D (3D Plus) Multi-Chip Modules

KGD (Known Good Die) KGD is an important concept for multiple dies assemblies (MCM,COB,SiP). Multi-Chip Modules

SiP (System in Package) A SiP is an assembly of multiple elements (dies,sensors,passives…) of different technologies. It envoles very advanced techniques like die stacking, PoP (package on package), short wire-bonding, thin wafers, silicon interposers… System in Package

CTE (Coefficient of Thermal Expansion). In a package, we have to choose materials with compatible CTE. Material CTE (ppm/K) Young Modulus (GPa) Thermal conductivity (W/(m.K)) Copper 17 119 398 Silicon 3 131 157 Mold compound 12-27 18 0.6 Alumina 6.5 25 PCB material 15-17 11 During operation but also during the assembly materials expand in 3 dimensions with temperature. In large BGA packages, the balls in the corners are sometimes nCTF (non Critical To Function) because they have more constraints and a big chance to fail. Reflow temperature profile during SMD assembly Technical aspects

Underfill CTE mismatch is a big problem for flip-chip assembly, the thermo-mechanical stress breaks solder bumps. The solution is to add some underfill between the die and the substrate. Underfill resins are loaded with silica and have CTE around 30ppm / K Technical aspects

Moisture : popcorn effect Absorbed moisture in non-hermetic packages (mostly plastic) creates the “Popcorn effect” during assembly. Bake critical components (check MSL) and PCB before assembly. Technical aspects

Hermetic package Moisture and contamination are major sources of reliability issues. Plastic packages are not hermetic so for critical applications ceramic or glass/metal should be used. But do not seal an hermetic package with moisture or contamination already inside … Hermetic QFN with ceramic package and sealed Kovar cover Time to reach 50% of the external humidity Technical aspects

Encapsulation resins - Coating Dam & Fill It’s an alternative to molding for low volumes. Dam is done first with high viscosity fluid and then Fill. Can build custom shapes Glop Top Single drop of resin. Round shape. Hybrids and MCM are often protected by coating products (organic + mineral) to have mechanical and moisture protection. A 25 um aluminum wire has a typical bond strength of 3 to 5.5 grams. A 12 um thick coating of Parylene increases that strength to 40 grams. Dam & Fill Glop Top Technical aspects

Heat dissipation Technical aspects Heat Radiation Convection Conduction Thermal simulation for a 400 pins FCBGA (CERN) : Heat dissipated from PCB (%) 86.6 Heat dissipated from package top (%) 1.4 Heat dissipated from others (%) 12.0 Technical aspects

Heat dissipation techniques Exposed pad Technical aspects

Electrical connections WB Flip-chip TAB Signal Integrity --- - -- Flexibilty + Density ++ Production in 2010 85% ? 13% 2% ? Cost (for low volumes) - (NRE) PGA with WB BGA with FC Inductance 19.6 nH 7.9 nH Capacitance 15.9 pF 6.2 pF Resistance 21 Ω 2.1 Ω Propagation delay 946 ps 243 ps Flip-chip vs wire bonding Technical aspects

Electrical connections : Wire bonding Wedge Wire (Au-Al-Cu) Ribbon (Au-Al) Ball Wire (Au-Cu) Wedge Copper and gold need additional heat (130 °C). Industry uses mainly copper ball bonding but starts to replace gold by copper (cheaper). Wedge bonding is directional (angle <45°). Ribbon is suitable for power or RF applications ( small R and L ) but can be replaced by multiple wires connections. Ball Technical aspects

Electrical connections : flip-chip Stud bumps (on full die surface) Thermosonic Conductive glue Eutectic Solder bumps Stud bumps Solder bumps For solder bumps it’s necessary to insert an « Under Bump Metalisation » (UBM) to provide a solderable interface on the pad. Fusion temperature of solder bumps is higher than in a standard electronic assembly process. Technical aspects

TAB (Tape Automated bonding) Chip first connected to a polyimide film (ILB), then connected to the PCB (OLB). Connection by thermo-compression, laser or thermode. Can be packaged (Tape BGA) or attached directly on a PCB. Good for KGD (Known Good Die). Used in Alice experiment (HAL25). Tape BGA Technical aspects

TSV (Through-Silicon Via) Less wires ! Technical aspects

Failures : intermetallics « Purple plague » or Kirkendall effect with Au bonding wire over Al pad. Caused by moisture + high temperature + ionic contamination on bonding pads. Can be solved by changing the bonding process from thermocompression (400 °C) to thermosonic (100 °C) bonding. Intermetallics can be also an issue in flip-chip assemblies. (2) Purple plague (5) Chip aluminum contact Technical aspects

Failures : electromigration Transport of material in a conductor due to the current density (current to cross section ratio) and the temperature. Electromigration is well know from ASIC designers but it appears to be a new problem for package reliability. ROHS forces people to re-evaluate the phenomena for packaging. Electromigration in solder bumps Electromigration in aluminium conductor Technical aspects

Sliver dendrite from conductive epoxy glue Other failures Corrosion is harmful for conductors : bonding pads, bondwires,UBM, bond wires. There are many sources: moisture (from outside or trapped) solder flux solvents (flip-chip) hydrogen outgassing Tin whiskers on leads outside the package. Dendrite growth, due to ionic contamination + moisture + voltage bias. Wire bonds mechanical resonance ( if no encapsulation) : a 1mm long 25um wire resonates at 30khz (gold) or 80 khz (aluminum). Corrosion on a bond pad Sliver dendrite from conductive epoxy glue Technical aspects

Conclusion IC packaging is a mixed of many disciplines : materials science, mechanical and chemical engineering and almost no electronic. Reliability is a very important parameter, mainly based on experience. Embedded electronic and MEMS forced packaging engineers to innovate a lot but it’s still a bottleneck. R&D is focused now on 3D packaging and cooling. Short bibliography: “Integrated Circuit Packaging, Assembly and Interconnections” - William J.
