Abstract

Problem statement: This study mainly to study the effect of several commercial underfill materials to the reliability of HiCTE Flip Chip Ceramic Ball Grid Array (FC-CBGA) package due to Accelerated Thermal Cycling (ATC) effect. Approach: The warpage condition of package, die back stress, interfacial die shear stress, and solder bump fatigue for different commercial underfills were assessed and compared via a commercial Finite Element Analysis (FEA) under JEDEC Standard of ATC. The thermo-mechanical properties of underfills for simulation were obtained by using Thermal Mechanical Analyzer (TMA) and Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer (DMA). The actual package of HiCTE FC-CBGA were assembled with those underfill materials and underwent ATC to be compared with FEA result. Results: The results from FEA and experimental were discussed to characterize the performance of each underfill material. The results of this study indicate that the underfill materials investigated, those with a glass transition temperature (Tg) and a Young’s modulus of approximately above 105°C and 8-9 GPa, respectively, were appropriate for HiCTE FC-CBGA with high lead solder bumps. Conclusion: The result from FEA analysis and ATC reliability test found that the underfill materials with high and medium low Young’s modulus has high reliability in FC-CBGA package.
