  2. Abbreviations • NCP • Non Conductive Paste • NCF • Non Conductive Film www.henkel.com www.henkel.com www.besi.com

  3. Au Stud Bump Bonding • e-CUBES 2006-2009 • Perfect for low I/O MEMS • Epoxy: automotive application • Capillary underfilled/pre-applied • Thermocompression/thermosonic • Epotek353ND • Lab4MEMS 2013-2015 • High volume process • MEMS with low I/O • Epoxy for consumer application • Pre-applied paste or film • No capillary based solutions considered RELIABILITY COST EFFICIENCY

  4. Outline • Design, test samples • Design of Experiment (DoE) for assembly • Visual inspections • Shear testing • Cross sections and SEM/EDS • Conclusion and outlooks

  5. Daughter die Adhesive Mother die on the larger substrate part Interface between the dies Design, test samples • Mother and daughter die configuration Assemblies 10 x 10 mm2 arrays mother dies 150 mm test wafers Single daughter dies Bumping Dicing 1 x 2 mm2

  6. Bumping • On wafer scale Z1:63.5-68.8 µm Ø: 83.0-85.7 µm Z2: 26.1-28.7 µm Ø: 83.5-85.8 µm Standard bumps Accubumps™ FILM/ DICING

  7. Film or paste • NCP • Dice daughter wafer • Deposit on mother wafer • Dispense NCP: Sequential • Stencil print NCP: Wafer level • Issue: "Pot life" after deposition • NCF • Lamination on daughter wafer, dice • Good control of amount of material • Dicing critical • Issue: "Pot life" after lamination Daughter NCP on mother NCF on daughter

  8. Material • NCP Hysol FP5201, from Henkel • For thermal compression bonding, flip chip • Glass Transition Temperature (Tg) by TMA, 171 °C • DMA Modulus @ 25°C, GPa 5.8 • NCF CUF1166-99D, from Henkel • For Cu pillars and Au bumps, good transparency • Glass Transition Temperature (Tg) by TMA, 100 °C • DMA Modulus @ 25°C, GPa 4.2

  9. NCP: Bond time and cure • Time for bonding, Bond Delay, varied • Temperature needed for bonding, TBond varied TAlign 150 oC Bond Delay 1-2 s TFlow 150 oC TBond 250-380 oC TInt-Bond TInt-Flow Tsubstrate70oC Tsubstrate70oC Tsubstrate70oC Q Q Post cure 30 min at 165 oC

  10. DoE, NCP - paste Substrate (@70 oC) heat sink S: Standard bumps A: Accubumps™

  11. NCF: Flow temperature • Temperature needed for flow, TFlow varied Soften 2 s Bond Delay 2 s TAlign Ramp 70 oC ▼100-180 oC TFlow 100-180 oC TBond 350 oC TInt-Bond TInt-Flow Tsubstrate70oC Tsubstrate70oC Tsubstrate70oC Q Q Post cure 40 min at 175 oC

  12. DoE, NCF - film Substrate (@70 oC) heat sink Only Accubumps™ Bond Delay 2 s TBond 350 oC  TInt-Bond 205 oC  >15 "Legs" ready for characterization

  13. Visual inspection I • Flow NCP Accubumps vs. Standard NCF • Fillet NCP NCF

  14. Visual inspection II Standard Accubumps • NCP • NCF Accubumps Bond Line Thickness Tilt

  15. Shear testing, NCP • 3 samples tested per "leg" • 95% confidence intervals calculated Accubumps 5 kg ~ 25 MPa

  16. Shear testing, NCF • 3 samples tester per "leg" • 95% confidence intervals calculated Accubumps 5 kg ~ 25 MPa

  17. Cross sectioning • Embedded in epoxy • Ground manually with SiC grit abrasive paper • Polished with colloidal diamond suspension • Down to 1 µm

  18. Single bumps NCPAccubump 1 s, TBond 250 oC NCFAccubump 2 s, TFlow 100 oC Mother die Mother die

  19. Metallurgic bonding • NCP • Accubumps, 2 s Bond Delay 380 oC 250 oC "More"

  20. Trapped particles • Cracks/folded metal • Result of sample preparation • Or both…

  21. EDS, materials • Studies at daughter die side Al Ni Cu Si SiO2 Al Ni Cu Au Au Si SiO2 Au

  22. A gap with adhesive? • EDS mapping of C measured • Contrast increased in power point Apparently a gap not filled with adhesive, but challenging to prove, even in low vacuum

  23. Summary • Satisfactory results, both NCP and NCF • Visual inspection • Shear strength • Cross sections • Electrical testing remains • A question of cost efficiency • Not necessarily the same answer for different applications
