Abstract This paper presents decapsulation solutions for devices bonded with Cu wire. By removing mold compound to a thin layer using a laser ablation tool, Cu wire bonded packages are decapsulated using wet chemical etching by controlling the etch time and temperature. Further, the paper investigates the possibilities of decapsulating Cu wire bonded devices using full wet chemical etches without the facilitation of laser ablation removing much of mold compound. Additional discussion on reliability concerns when evaluating Cu wirebond devices is addressed here. The lack of understanding of the reliability of Cu wire bonded packages creates a challenge to the FA engineer as they must develop techniques to help understanding the reliability issue associated with Cu wire bonding devices. More research and analysis are ongoing to develop appropriate analysis methods and techniques to support the Cu wire bonding device technology in the lab.

Etching System

Solutions consisting of HF - NOHSO4 - H2SO4 exhibit a strong reactivity towards crystalline silicon which is controlled by the concentrations of the reactive species HF and NO+. Selective isotropic and anisotropic wet chemical etching with these solutions allows to generate a wide range of silicon surface morphology patterns. Traces of Ag+ ions stimulate the reactivity and lead to the formation of planarized (polished) silicon surfaces. Analyses of the silicon surface, the etching solution and the gas phase were performed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), DR/FT-IR (diffusive reflection Fourier transform infra-red), FT-IR, Raman and NMR spectroscopy, respectively. It was found that the resulting silicon surface is hydrogen-terminated. The gas phase contains predominantly SiF4, NO and N2O. Furthermore, NH4+ is produced in solution. The study has confirmed the crucial role of nitrosyl ions for isotropic wet chemical etching processes. The novel etching system is proposed as an effective new way for selective surface texturing of multi- and monocrystalline silicon. A high etching bath service lifetime, besides a low contamination of the etching solution with reaction products, provides ecological and economical advantages for the semiconductor and solar industry.

The robust design of chemical etching parameters is dealing with the optimization of the through-silicon via (TSV) roundness error and TSV lateral etching depth in the etching of silicon for laser drilled TSVs. The considered wet chemical etching parameters comprise the HNO3 molarity, HF molarity, and etching time. Grey-Taguchi method is combining the orthogonal array design of experiments with Grey relational analysis (GRA), which enables the determination of the optimal combination of wet chemical etching parameters for multiple process responses. The concept of Grey relational analysis is to find a Grey relational grade, which can be used for the optimization conversion from a multiple objective case to a single objective case. Also, GRG is used to investigate the parameter effects to the overall quality targets.

Complex Semiconductor

In the course of both physical and failure analysis of semiconductor chips (i.e., verifying what you actually deposited as a layer, vs, what caused the circuit to fail), it is essential to have appropriate deprocessing tools at your disposal in order to evaluate complex semiconductor structures, Deprocessing techniques are developed for each product manufactured and involve multi-step procedures that reveal the layer-by-layer secrets of the chip, These techniques require constant tweaking in duration and procedure as the manufacturing process imposes changes and as the architecture of the semiconductor changes. While there are many tools that assist in these analytical pursuits, such as RIE (reactive ion etching - a dry etching technique), ion milling, and microcleaving, the wet chemical etching of tungsten is sometimes more reproducible than RIE techniques.
