Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This critical volume provides an in-depth presentation of copper wire bonding technologies, processes and equipment, along with the economic benefits and risks. Due to the increasing cost of materials used to make electronic components, the electronics industry has been rapidly moving from high cost gold to significantly lower cost copper as a wire bonding material. However, copper wire bonding has several process and reliability concerns due to its material properties. Copper Wire Bonding book lays out the challenges involved in replacing gold with copper as a wire bond material, and includes the bonding process changes—bond force, electric flame off, current and ultrasonic energy optimization, and bonding tools and equipment changes for first and second bond formation. In addition, the bond–pad metallurgies and the use of bare and palladium-coated copper wires on aluminum are presented, and gold, nickel and palladium surface finishes are discussed. The book also discusses best practices and recommendations on the bond process, bond–pad metallurgies, and appropriate reliability tests for copper wire-bonded electronic components. In summary, this book: Introduces copper wire bonding technologies Presents copper wire bonding processes Discusses copper wire bonding metallurgies Covers recent advancements in copper wire bonding including the bonding process, equipment changes, bond–pad materials and surface finishes Covers the reliability tests and concerns Covers the current implementation of copper wire bonding in the electronics industry Features 120 figures and tables Copper Wire Bonding is an essential reference for industry professionals seeking detailed information on all facets of copper wire bonding technology.
Download or read book Statistical Techniques and Non destructive Testing Methods for Copper Wire Bond Reliability Investigation written by Michael David Hook and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microelectronic devices require packaging for mechanical protection and electrical interconnections. Reliability challenges in microelectronics packaging are becoming more severe, as applications demand smaller package sizes and operation in harsher environments, such as in automotive applications. At the same time, manufacturers are seeking to reduce production costs by using new materials, for example in wire bonding by replacing costly gold wire with more economical copper. Because microelectronic devices are expected to function reliably for years or even decades, depending on the application, reliability testing is commonly accelerated, e.g. by using elevated temperature and/or humidity. Even so, testing is often time consuming, requiring weeks or months for product qualification. Furthermore, although standard test conditions exist, little guidance is available in the literature to indicate how long products passing these tests will survive in operation. Non-destructive testing methods provide a great deal of information regarding product degradation and reliability. With proper statistical analysis, strong conclusions can be made about device reliability with relatively short test durations, since testing need not continue until all samples fail. However, data analysis techniques used in the electronics packaging literature are often limited, with statistical analyses and confidence bounds rarely presented. Analysis of incomplete or censored data requires specialized techniques from the field of survival analysis. The contributions of this thesis can be divided in two topics. The first topic is the equipment and techniques used to obtain new reliability results, including a method for temperature calibration of the miniature ovens used, a modification of those ovens for use as environmental chambers with humidity control, and procedures for optimization of wire bonding processes. Second, statistical techniques for analysis of reliability data are demonstrated, using accelerated failure time models to analyze resistance data from copper wire bonds in high temperature storage testing. In doing so, new information was provided to answer an important open question in the field of copper wire bonding, namely, the maximum temperature at which one can expect copper wire bonds on aluminum metallization to perform reliably. In particular, ball bonds made from 25 μm diameter palladium-coated copper wire are estimated to be highly reliable up to at least 167 °C in a clean environment without encapsulation, with failure rate of only 1 ppm after 12000 h. PCC wires were more reliable than bare Cu wires when unencapsulated or when encapsulated in silicone. Conversely, bare Cu was more reliable than PCC when encapsulated in epoxy. The best-performing encapsulated bonds tested were bare Cu wire with a highly heat tolerant epoxy, which are estimated to survive 12000 h with 1 ppm failure probability at 159 °C. Effects of several other factors on bond reliability were also investigated, namely the cleaning process, Al bond pad thickness, and the bonded ball size. Sample and environmental cleanliness were found to be critical to good reliability. Bond pad thickness and bonded ball size had only minor effects on reliability, suggesting that these factors can be safely chosen to satisfy other requirements such as bond pad pitch or current-carrying requirements.

Download or read book High Temperature Electronics written by F. Patrick McCluskey and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-05-04 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of electronics that can operate at high temperatures has been identified as a critical technology for the next century. Increasingly, engineers will be called upon to design avionics, automotive, and geophysical electronic systems requiring components and packaging reliable to 200 °C and beyond. Until now, however, they have had no single resource on high temperature electronics to assist them. Such a resource is critically needed, since the design and manufacture of electronic components have now made it possible to design electronic systems that will operate reliably above the traditional temperature limit of 125 °C. However, successful system development efforts hinge on a firm understanding of the fundamentals of semiconductor physics and device processing, materials selection, package design, and thermal management, together with a knowledge of the intended application environments. High Temperature Electronics brings together this essential information and presents it for the first time in a unified way. Packaging and device engineers and technologists will find this book required reading for its coverage of the techniques and tradeoffs involved in materials selection, design, and thermal management and for its presentation of best design practices using actual fielded systems as examples. In addition, professors and students will find this book suitable for graduate-level courses because of its detailed level of explanation and its coverage of fundamental scientific concepts. Experts from the field of high temperature electronics have contributed to nine chapters covering topics ranging from semiconductor device selection to testing and final assembly.
Download or read book Assessing Au Al Wire Bond Reliability Using Integrated Stress Sensors written by Michael James McCracken and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wire bond reliability testing typically consists of aging bonds in a high temperature environment for long time periods, and removing samples at intervals to assess bond shear strength and characterize the bond cross sections. In this way, the degradation of the bond can be monitored at discrete time intervals, and it is determined whether the bond will be reliable during the specific service life. This process can be labour and time intensive. An alternative method is reported using an existing test chip that allows for contact resistance measurements and provides signals from piezoresistive integrated CMOS microsensors located around test bond pads. The sensors are sensitive to radial compressive or tensile stresses occurring on the bond pad due to intermetallic formation, oxidation, and crack formation at the bond interface. Two sets of identical test chips are bonded with optimized Au ball bonds and aged for 2000 h at 175°C. One set is connected to equipment which monitors signals from the stress sensors and the contact resistance of the bonds. The other set is destructively tested by shear tests and cross sectioning. It is found that the stress sensors are capable of indicating which stage of bond aging is experienced by relating the signal to the relative density of the intermetallic compounds (IMCs) and oxide which form during aging. This research offers a valuable new method for accelerating bond process development. By using the sensors to determine the stage of aging experienced and the magnitude of changes happening to the bond, the initial bond quality and bond reliability can be roughly characterized. A useful application is in comparing large samples of bonds made under varying conditions, and determining relative reliabilities of the bonds. A small sample size is required, as the sensors allow for complete continuous aging histories of individual bonds, which was not previously possible. A new test chip is designed for use in future studies which allows for contact resistance measurement, and provides stress signals for up to 55 bonds. A multiplexer integrated on the chip allows for measurements from one specified bond pad at a time. The chip is also equipped with x and yforce measurements which can be used to monitor bond process, and a resistive temperature detector for temperature measurement. A miniaturized bond aging system is designed to facilitate future works where chips are subject to high temperature storage. A heating element fits over the cavity of a microelectronic package containing the test chip, and allows for precise temperature control, while using less power than a conventional oven, and maintaining a low temperature at electrical connections to the package.
