Package delamination is one of the problems in semiconductor packaging. Understanding the delamination mechanism in a specific situation is very important to identify the root cause and implement robust solution. In this study, package deformation modeling was done to analyze the deformation of the substrate or package at different thermal conditions. The modeling result was compared with the actual package deformation of the package with delamination problem. It was found out that the observed deformation through actual cross-section analysis matched with the modeling result at reflow temperature condition. Thus, it could be concluded that the delamination happens during package reflow and not after post mold cure or the preceding processes.

An actual case of PTH fracture after soldering process was studied. By means of cross section analysis using metallography microscope and SEM, together with thermal analysis results, root cause of PTH fracture was concluded that a high density of twin copper weakened the mechanical strength so seriously that PTHs could not undergo thermal stress from soldering process, and higher CTE was attributed to an accelerative factor. Moreover, it is recommended to enhance current density properly and make sure the effectiveness of electroplating additives to prevent twin copper by theoretical analysis.

Abstract The paper will present an approach for non-destructive localization of thermal active defects at multi chip devices combining the Lock-in Thermography and following local X-Ray inspection. In combination of both methods inner defects in inter chip connections of complex device built ups can be found in a non-destructive way before opening the device. The methods were demonstrated at defective flip chip devices with a high ohmic daisy chain with lots of chip to chip contacts. Subsequently, cross section analysis at located high ohmic contacts was performed in order to find the root cause of the failure.

Abstract The integration of copper interconnects and low-K dielectrics will present novel failure modes and reliability issues to failure analysts. This paper discusses failure modes related to Cu/low-K technology. Here, physical failure analysis (FA) techniques including deprocessing and cross-section analysis have been developed. The deprocessing techniques include wet chemical etching, reactive ion etching, chemical mechanical polishing and a combination of these techniques. Case studies on different failure modes related to Cu/low k technology are discussed: copper voiding, copper extrusion; electromigration stress failure; dielectric cracks; delamination-interface adhesion; and FA on circuit-under-pad. For the cross-section analysis of copper/low-K samples, focused ion beam techniques have been developed. Scanning electron microscopy, EDX, and TEM analytical analysis have been used for failure analysis for Cu/low-K technology. Various failure modes and reliability issues have also been addressed.

Abstract In this paper the new Vion™ Plasma-FIB system, developed by FEI, is evaluated for cross sectioning of Cu filled Through Silicon Via (TSV) interconnects. The aim of the study presented in this paper is to evaluate and optimise different Plasma-FIB (P-FIB) milling strategies in terms of performance and cross section surface quality. The sufficient preservation of microstructures within cross sections is crucial for subsequent Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) grain structure analyses and a high resolution interface characterisation by TEM.

Abstract Scanning capacitance microscopy (SCM) is a 2-D carrier and/or dopant concentration profiling technique under development that utilizes the excellent spatial resolution of scanning probe microscopy. However, PV-SCM has limited capability to achieve the goal due to inherent "plane" trait. On top of that, deeper concentration profile just like deep N-well is also one of restrictions to use. For representing above contents more clearly, this paper presents a few cases that demonstrate the alternated and optimized application of PV-SCM and X-SCM. The case studies concern Joint Test Action Group failure and stand-by failure. These cases illustrate that the correct selection from either plane-view or cross-sectional SCM analysis according to the surrounding of defect could help to exactly and rapidly diagnose the failure mechanism. Alternating and optimizing PV-SCM and X-SCM techniques to navigate various implant issue could provide corrective actions that suit local circumstance of defects and identify the root cause.

The results of electron drift and diffusion measurements in parahydrogen have been analysed to determine the cross sections for momentum transfer and for rotational and vibrational excitation. The limited number of possible excitation processes in parahydrogen and the wide separation of the thresholds for these processes make it possible to determine uniquely the J = 0 → 2 rotational cross section from threshold to 0.3 eV. In addition, the momentum transfer cross section has been determined for energies less than 2 eV and it is shown that, near threshold, a vibrational cross section compatible with the data must lie within relatively narrow limits. The problems of uniqueness and accuracy inherent in the swarm method of cross section analysis are discussed. The present results are compared with other recent theoretical and experimental determinations; the agreement with the most recent calculations of Henry and Lane is excellent.
