film (ACF) joined flip chip

  • Polyimide substrate with ACF joined flip chip
  • Protective coating

– Epoxy – Parylene C – Epoxy-Parylene C

  • Reliability testing

– 8585 –testing – -40/+85 thermal cycling

  • Failure analysis

Flip chip technology

  • Flip chip joining is made face down
  • Solder joining
  • Adhesive joining

– NCA (non-conductive adhesives) – ICA (isotropically conductive adhesives) – ACA (anisotropically conductive adhesives)

Test chip structure

  • Test chips used in the

studies were specially designed for testing

  • Daisy chain resistance

was measured during testing

  • Real time measurements

were used to better detect the behaviour of the samples during testing

Reliability testing

  • 85/85 –testing

– 85 % relative humidity – 85 ° C

  • One test period 500h
  • Total durance 7,000h

Conclusion

  • Reliability studies in 8585 constant humidity test and -

40/+85 thermal cycling test were conducted

  • The test specimen had ACF joined flip chips on FR-4 and PI

substrates

  • Epoxy, Parylene C and Epoxy-Parylene C sandwich

structures were studied as protective coatings

  • Reliability results show long durability against humid

environments and thermal cycling

  • Parylene C proved to be the best alternative for protective

coating from the tested materials in humid environments

  • In thermal cycling the protective coating did not have much

effect to the reliability

  • Failure analysis showed delamination as the main cause for

failures
