Heated plate curing Panel vacuum jig Hybrid panel (+35C) • Tests with 130nm hybrids and glass ASICs • the glue thickness is controllable • . • Room temp curing : 5 hybrids • ii) Heated plate curing: 6 hybrids Metal block Heating element Insulating sheet of glass WP3_Bham; 29May 2014; John Wilson 1
Tests with glass ASICs • All hybrids (except those over-glued) shear tested on Dage 4000 after the curing has ended. • Most often the glue joint breaks at the glue layer • i.e. significant glue left on the ASIC and on the hybrid. • But usually one (+ -1) ASIC shears off leaving hardly any glue stain on the hybrid pad. Is the surface clean? • Surfaces are wiped with alcohol but more may be required. • Try cleaning with Safewash soon (but not yet). WP3_Bham; 29May 2014; John Wilson 2

Production still tricky: e.g. too much glue! WP3_Bham; 29May 2014; John Wilson
Bare glue dot : cured on glass ASIC(Mech Eng Alicona G4 (IF) system) Glue adhering to stencil at pull off 2.16mm 726mum “Slumping” of glue after stencil removed? Edge of glue dot? “Bleeding” between stencil and glass. 2.85mm WP3_Bham; 29May 2014; John Wilson
Expected dot pattern from stencil Stencil dots: 2mm diam and 135 microns high Closest dist between edges of adjacent dots = (5.40 – 4.0)/2 = 0.7mm Therefore for dots to touch their radii must increase from 1.0 to 1.35mm Ideal stencil dot (1.0mm rad x 135microns high) will be compressed to a dot of radius 1.30mm if the glue thickness is 80microns. Therefore in ideal case (80 microns), the 5 glue dots will not quite merge. But, in practice, bleeding + slumping will spread out the dots -> merging. WP3_Bham; 29May 2014; John Wilson
Conclusions (after lots of gluing!) • No clear correlation between shear strength and glue thickness • Correlation emerging between shear strength and coverage (as expected!) • No apparent difference in shear strength between the two methods (room temp and heated plate curing) • Systematic effects becoming apparent with experience/practice e.g. glue dots slightly larger for ASICS 7,8, 9 as glue is applied here in overlapping swipes. • Still scope for putting down variable amounts of glue ! Thanks to Liverpool for sending an extra batch of glass ASICs. Would be very useful to have more glass ASICs in pipeline, please. WP3_Bham; 29May 2014; John Wilson 9
Other news Dry storage cabinet (Almit) had been delivered but without the nitrogen circulator (ordering mishap) We have now received the missing N2 unit. Good …. but, it is not “bolt on”, as advertised. A new hole has to be cut in the cabinet to match! WP3_Bham; 29May 2014; John Wilson 10
From previous meetings WP3_Bham; 29May 2014; John Wilson
All data collected from shear tests Many of the lower results are where there has been a failure at the glue/substrate interface, possibly due to the hybrid surface not being clean WP3_Bham; 29May 2014; John Wilson
Omit pts with little glue adhering to ASIC pads. Not enough glue due to something blocking the stencil holes – next slide. WP3_Bham; 29May 2014; John Wilson
ASIC with anomalously low shear strength: 2.7kg Glue on ASIC; stencil removed After curing Hybrid after shear Glue on stencil ASIC after shear -> ensure stencil is clean before use. WP3_Bham; 29May 2014; John Wilson
Hybrid glued with a pre-heated ASIC vacuum jig. Due to expansion it made the stencil tricky to get on properly and led to too much glue being stencilled on. Average Glue thickness is 75µm This has so far been a one-off. Decide not to preheat the ASIC vacuum jig. Hybrid glued without preheating the ASIC vacuum jig. Stencil fitted on much more easily and because of that the correct glue volume was stencilled on. Average glue thickness is 80µm Although: - P.T.O WP3_Bham; 29May 2014; John Wilson
