Abstract Chemical etching is commonly used in exposing the die surface from die front-side and die backside because of its quick etching time, burr-free and stress-free. However, this technique is risky when performing copper lead frame etching during backside preparation on small and non-exposed die paddle package. The drawback of this technique is that the copper leads will be over etched by 65% Acid Nitric Fuming even though the device’s leads are protected by chemical resistance tape. Consequently, the device is not able to proceed to any other further electrical measurements. Therefore, we introduced mechanical preparation as an alternative solution to replace the existing procedure. With the new method, we are able to ensure the copper leads are intact for the electrical measurements to improve the effectiveness and accuracy of physical failure analysis.

Abstract Cu foam (Cu-F) and Ag-coated Cu-F were added into nano-Ag paste to obtain Cu-F@nano-Ag composite sintered joint. The microstructure, hardness, and shear behavior of the sintered joints were investigated. Experimental results indicated that the addition of Cu-F and Ag-coated Cu-F suppressed the generation and propagation of cracks at the interface of the sintered joint. As the thickness of the Cu-F increased from 0.1mm to 0.2mm, the deformation ratio of the Cu-F sheet raised from 12 % to 50 %. Thereby, the hardness and bonding strength of the sintered joint was improved due to the microstructural densification. The bonding quality between Cu-F and sintered Ag is enhanced by the Ag-coating treatment. Therefore, the Ag-coated composite joints show higher shear strength than the others.

Evaluating silver paste strength for die bonding during the reflow soldering process is important, as silver paste fracturing is one of the main causes of package failure. First, we assumed that the fracturing was caused by thermal stress and vapor pressure at the interface between the resin and the copper lead frame. Next, we measured the silver paste fracture strength using a three-point bending test and a bonded specimen with silver paste. Finally, we predicted the occurrence of silver paste fracturing by calculating the silver paste stress during reflow soldering process and comparing it with the measured fracture strength. Results obtained in strength evaluation analysis were consistent with those obtained in package reflow tests, indicating that this method can be used to predict the occurrence of silver paste fracturing.
