Bottom-fill process for flip-chip applications

图片
  Flip chip (FC) technology is a packaging method in which the chip is directly attached to the substrate, which has the advantages of high density, high performance and low cost. However, due to the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) mismatch between the chip and the substrate, the solder joints are subjected to large thermal stresses when the temperature changes, leading to fatigue damage and failure. To improve the reliability of solder joints, a common method is to inject a polymer material, called underfill, between the chip and the substrate. Underfill improves the stress distribution in the solder joint, reduces the strain amplitude in the solder joint, and extends the thermal fatigue life of the solder joint.     Figure 1. Underfill process   Underfill is a liquid encapsulant, typically an epoxy resin heavily filled with SiO2, that is used between the chip and the substrate after flip chip interconnections. After curing, the hardened underfill has a high ...
