Abstract Die attach is well known in die bonding process. Its electrical character is simple. But some failures caused by die attach are not so simple. And it is not proper to analyze by a generic analysis flow. The analysis of two failures caused by die attach are presented in this paper.

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.

In the realm of power modules a strong trend toward high temperature and high reliability applications can be observed, which entails new technological challenges, especially for the assembly and packaging of power semiconductors. Because of the well known failure mechanisms of established lead-free standard soldering and heavy aluminum wire bonding technologies, such as fatigue and creep of die attach material and wire bonds at thermal cycling, academic and industrial research focuses on more reliable interconnection technologies. A priority is the research of alternative top and bottom side chip interconnection materials or technologies to improve the temperature cycling capability of power chips that are typically assembled on ceramic substrates. The scientific focus is on Ag sintering as die attach and/or heavy ribbon bonding, for example with Al or bi-metal (Al-Cu). Another focus is the material behavior of ribbon bonds in combination with bonding machine improvements (higher bonding parameters, cutting tool). But there are other very promising technologies like transient liquid phase bonding, for example with Cu-Sn or Ag-Sn systems or Cu heavy wire bonding (up to 400 μm wire diameter) or Cu/Al-Bi metal ribbon bonding. Challenges posed by these technologies have to be discussed focusing on materials and process selection and reliability issues. Process temperatures and temperature profiles must be optimized, wire bonding machines and the chip surface structures as well as finish metallizations need to be adapted. This paper will give an overview of alternative power chip interconnection technologies and discuss the challenges related to processing and reliability.
