Interconnect Reliability In Advanced Memory Device Packaging

This book explains mechanical and thermal reliability for modern memory packaging, considering materials, processes, and manufacturing. In the past 40 years, memory packaging processes have evolved enormously. This book discusses the reliability and technical challenges of first-level interconnect materials, packaging processes, advanced specialty reliability testing, and characterization of interconnects. It also examines the reliability of wire bonding, lead-free solder joints such as reliability testing and data analyses, design for reliability in hybrid packaging and HBM packaging, and failure analyses. The specialty of this book is that the materials covered are not only for second-level interconnects, but also for packaging assembly on first-level interconnects and for the semiconductor back-end on 2.5D and 3D memory interconnects. This book can be used as a text for college and graduate students who have the potential to become our future leaders, scientists, and engineers in the electronics and semiconductor industry.

The book focuses on the design, materials, process, fabrication, and reliability of advanced semiconductor packaging components and systems. Both principles and engineering practice have been addressed, with more weight placed on engineering practice. This is achieved by providing in-depth study on a number of major topics such as system-in-package, fan-in wafer/panel-level chip-scale packages, fan-out wafer/panel-level packaging, 2D, 2.1D, 2.3D, 2.5D, and 3D IC integration, chiplets packaging, chip-to-wafer bonding, wafer-to-wafer bonding, hybrid bonding, and dielectric materials for high speed and frequency. The book can benefit researchers, engineers, and graduate students in fields of electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, materials sciences, and industry engineering, etc.

Reliability of Microtechnology discusses the reliability of microtechnology products from the bottom up, beginning with devices and extending to systems. The book's focus includes but is not limited to reliability issues of interconnects, the methodology of reliability concepts and general failure mechanisms. Specific failure modes in solder and conductive adhesives are discussed at great length. Coverage of accelerated testing, component and system level reliability, and reliability design for manufacturability are also described in detail. The book also includes exercises and detailed solutions at the end of each chapter.

Advanced Flip Chip Packaging presents past, present and future advances and trends in areas such as substrate technology, material development, and assembly processes. Flip chip packaging is now in widespread use in computing, communications, consumer and automotive electronics, and the demand for flip chip technology is continuing to grow in order to meet the need for products that offer better performance, are smaller, and are environmentally sustainable.

Thin films are widely used in the electronic device industry. As the trend for miniaturization of electronic devices moves into the nanoscale domain, the reliability of thin films becomes an increasing concern. Building on the author's previous book, Electronic Thin Film Science by Tu, Mayer and Feldman, and based on a graduate course at UCLA given by the author, this new book focuses on reliability science and the processing of thin films. Early chapters address fundamental topics in thin film processes and reliability, including deposition, surface energy and atomic diffusion, before moving onto systematically explain irreversible processes in interconnect and packaging technologies. Describing electromigration, thermomigration and stress migration, with a closing chapter dedicated to failure analysis, the reader will come away with a complete theoretical and practical understanding of electronic thin film reliability. Kept mathematically simple, with real-world examples, this book is ideal for graduate students, researchers and practitioners.

Here is the ultimate electronic packaging resource, in which luminaries from the four intertwined disciplines of packaging present a one-stop guide to the state of the art. An absolute necessity for anyone working in the field, this "how-to" reference covers all the newest technologies, including BGA, Flip Chip, and CSP.
