Full textThe semiconductor industry has continuously improved its products by increasing the density of integration resulting in an increasing of the I/Os, always with a low cost requirement. To obtain high-density and high-speed packaging, the Flip-Chip interconnection technology was introduced by IBM also called C4 (Control Collapse Chip Connection). Solder bumps have been widely used in electronic industry and were generally based on the Sn-Pb alloy, for its low melting point and good wetting property. Containing highly toxic element (Pb), Pb-Sn solder alloy has been banned. The ternary alloy Sn-Ag-Cu seems to be the best compromise, in fact it as physical and chemical characteristics equivalent to that of Sn-Pb.In this study we are interested to optimize stencil printing process and adjust it with the flip-chip technology, in order to obtain solder bumps which height is between 50µm and 100µm associated to pitches less than or equal to 200µm, using Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder paste. We have optimized the stencil printing parameters machine, the stencil apertures shape and size (circular shape and 50µm height, for a Ni-electroformed stencil). Spherical solder balls have been achieved with circular UBM (Under Bump Metallurgy), which diameter is ¼ and ½ the diameter of the stencil aperture. The reflow thermal profile is the key to the formation of a reliable solder bump. It must allow a homogeneous reflow for all particles of the metallic solder paste. We define a thermal profile with a Time above liquidus (TAL) of 90s, a temperature in soaking zone (Ts) of 180°C and a maximum temperature (Tmax) of 250°C. For type 6 solder pastes, balls of 60-70µm diameter have been obtained for 100µm stencil apertures.The quality of a solder joint is directly related to the adhesion of the solder ball to the substrate. Among the various methods of mechanical testing, shear testing is the most widely used to assess the strength of the attachment of beads to the substrate and determine the fragility of the ball at the interface caused by the intermetallic layer compounds (IMC) formed after the reflow step. We have shown that Cr-Cu-Au UBM, with a diameter equal to the half of the stencil aperture, ensure the mechanical adhesion of the balls

Following scientific and technological progress, the requirements of electronic products become increasingly thinner, lighter, smaller and functionally more powerful models, such as cell phones, laptop computers, PDAs, digital cameras and other gadgets are sought after. In view of this perspective, electronics manufacturers have been developing more stable production methods that assure greater stability, which in turn promotes the development of better technologies for printed circuits board assembly (PCBA). Of the latter, the key lies in the development of the Surface Mount Technology (SMT) assembly process. Stencil printing is one of the most important processes in SMT assembly. An average 60% of soldering defects are attributed to inadequate stencil printing parameter settings. Today, there are no standard parameter sets for stencil printing in the electronic industry. The manufacturing process of new products always requires trial printing before production launch, through which the printing parameters were obtained by trial and error approach. In this study, two optimization models of stencil printing parameters were developed. A fractional factorial experiment design was conducted for collecting structured data to closely investigate the relationships of inputs and outputs and followed by using Response Surface Method (RSM) and Genetics algorithms (GAs) to optimize the given process. Finally, two optimized parameter sets obtained and compared with the empirical SPC data for performance assessments. Results show that the parameter combinations optimized by GAs is superior to RSM. The findings can further provide electronic manufacturers to speed up line setup procedure and improve soldering quality.

Surface mount technology (SMT) is the main process to produce many types of modern electronics products in electronics assembly industry. SMT consists of three sub-processes: (1) solder paste stencil printing, (2) component placement, and (3) solder reflow. Based on literatures and industrial reports, a poor solder paste printing performance can lead to an averaged 60% of soldering defect, which increases manufacturing costs and jeopardizes product quality. Generally, engineers integrate their working experience with a variety of trial-and-error approaches to resolve stencil printing problems. However, this process troubleshooting approach also induces a lot of nonproductive production time and costs. The thin quad plat package (TQFP) is with the highest stencil printing defect rate in SMT process. In this research, three solder paste volume prediction models include multiple regression, regression tree, and neural network were developed using the experimental data, the parameter settings of stencil printer, and solder paste inspection data, to quickly predict the solder paste volume of a TQFP package. These three prediction models were validated and evaluated using empirical data collected from production line. The evaluation result shows that regression tree model exhibits a superior prediction accuracy and dynamic changes of printing parameters. This research results can be used as the basis of smart manufacturing and as a reference and application in the electronics assembly industry.

Due to the trend of miniature of electronic products been evolved, the application of surface mount technology (SMT) to the printed circuit boards (PCBs) assemblies is more and more popular, matured and versatile.The process is still not well understood as indicated by the fact that industry reports 52–71% (SMT) defects are related to the solder paste stencil printing process (SPP). This research presents a neural network model for the stencil printing process in surface mount technology manufacturing of printed circuit boards. A Design of Experiment (DOE) was conducted for collecting structured data to closely investigate the relationships of inputs and outputs and followed by using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to optimize the given process.The optimization is performed by minimizing the weighted mean squared error with respect to the desired solder brick area; furthermore, in the case when multiple solutions exist, the set point that yields the lowest variance is used.

Following by the highly development of the consuming electronic products and the trend toward the miniatureel size and user-friendly interfaces, the well-implementation of Surface Mount Technology (SMT) in today’s printed circuit board (PCB) assemblies is becoming more crucial during the processes. With the increasing difficulties and complexity of surface mounted techniques due to the miniature of electronic devices, the process yield descends and the extra cost increases. Therefore the improvement of the producing process is becoming more and more urgent now. According to the related research, 52%~71% of the SMT process’ defects come from stencil printing process; so, if we can effectively eliminate the printing process defects, we can largely improve the yield of the SMT. DOE and Regression techniques are applied in this research to explore the relations between geometric features of stencil aperture and amount of solder paste deposition. With the experiment analysis conducted the solder paste deposition models were derived. First, we consider the significant factors that impact the process of stencil printing. Then, we use ANOVA to find out the factors that influence the solder paste deposition. Next, we use RSM to build up the models and optimize the parameters. The result of this research is to develop the regression models of the round and square aperture in the paste deposition, find out the optimal solutions of stable paste deposition and develop the quality control chart of the paste. The goal is to offer the performance evaluation of solder paste deposition for the process engineers when they attempt to design the appropriate stencil at the very first beginning of process development.

The demands of electronic products towards thinner, lighter, smaller and more powerful functionally. Electronics manufacturers are devoted to more stable process in the Surface Mount Technology (SMT) assembly domain. One of the key process in SMT assembly is stencil printing for solder paste deposition. Literature indicates that nearly 60% of soldering defects related to stencil printing process. Currently, there is no standard parameter setting for stencil printing in the electronic industry. The determination of printing parameters for new product is based on trial and error. This study employs an Intelligent Parameter Design Method to determine optimal parameters used in the stencil printing process. This helps reduce the cost and time required. First, the Taguchi based experimental design is used to determine the desired printing parameters and the influences of solder paste deposited during printing. The concept of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) with the best search strategy, implemented through ANNDOE software, is then employed to identify the optimal parameters. Finally, comparison is made between the performance of suggested parameters through Taguchi Method and Intelligent Parameter Design. Result indicates that the Intelligent Parameter Design Method performed superior than Taguchi Method, in respect to the consistency of solder paste deposition and the target paste volume. The improvement rates is improved from 40.88% to 74.56%.

Solder paste printing is the first assembly process of surface mount technology (SMT). Researches had been shown that 52%-71% of the assembly defects were caused by the improper setup of the printing process. The former setup of process parameter and material choice are most proceeding by design of experiment (DOE). This will be not only waste time also high cost. It is an important issue for using current process data and how to deal with it that becomes the meaning predict model. This research applies model tree and use stencil open hole shape to be the control variable. The five measure points, solder paste brand (include metal ingredient, stickiness and micro-particle size), snapoff, stencil thickness, squeegee material, squeegee angle, squeegee pressure, print speed, relative print direction and relative pad size, amount to ten attributes, will be the input variables. The checkout solder paste quantity will be the output variable. We construct the quality control forecast system model for proceeding SMT solder paste printing process. Finally, we use the snapoff, stencil thickness and squeegee material for the attribute partition point, and find both solder paste brand and relative pad size are two statistical insignificance attributes. This research also makes the comparison with forecasting ability to use Classification and Regression Tree (CART). Finally, it indeed actually has better forecasting effect.

The objective of this research was to investigate the mechanical and electrical properties of solder bumps produced with solder paste by printing. The shear strength of solder bumps and the interfacial reaction behavior between solder and UBM was investigated after reliability tests. Besides, it was also to measure the electrical resistance of flip chip bonded solder joints and to investigate the correlation between the change of the electrical resistance and the reaction behavior of the materials after different environmental tests. The interfacial investigation of solder bump indicated that Ni3Sn4 was formed. It was also observed that the (AuXNi1-X)Sn4 was formed between the Ni3Sn4 layer and solder after aging. A raise in aging temperature enhances the growth of (AuXNi1-X)Sn4 and inhibits the growth of Ni3Sn4. The average shear strength of solder bumps after reflow was about 50g, and the fracture occurred at the solder. It was also found that the shear strength of solder bumps was decreased with reflow times and aging time. But the fracture still occurred at the solder after reliability tests. The experimental results revealed that the lowering in shear strength was not induced by intermetallic compounds. The intermetallics exhibit a good adhesion between solder and UBM after reliability tests. The electrical test results showed that the increase of electrical resistance of solder joints after the multiple reflow test and high temperature storage test was ascribed to the growth of intermetallic compounds. In addition, the oxidation of solder and elimination of defects also affect the electrical resistance of the annealed solder joints. Furthermore, it was found that the electrical resistance of the solder joints greatly increases after the humidity-temperature test and thermal cycling test. The humidity-temperature test affect the electrical resistance of solder joints through the circuit corrosion and oxidation of solder. The thermal cycling test resulted in the formation of crack which caused the solder joint failure.

This work developed a novel micro-structured stencil for high precision printings. Printing technology are the major techniques for producing printing circuit board in electronic industry. Because, printing process are usually in low-cost and mass production for producing products. However, it is difficult to produce small patterns using conventional printing technique due to the limitation of the woven mesh or stencil’s thickness. Therefore, the critical dimension for typical printing process is limited between 50 µm to 100 µm. The electronic products are tending to smaller, thinner and light for the consumer market. In other words, the printing methods are tending to smaller line width, thinner printing layer and higher printing resolution. This study developed a double layer structure stencil for printing ultra-fine line and thin film on three kind substrate. Each substrate has different surface energies. The printing test result compare the printed paste width and thickness from different printing condition. To understand the influence of surface energy for printed paste. This work successfully developed a novel process for fabricating ultra-thin stencil with a buffer reservoir utilizing the combination of AZ4620 positive photoresist (PR) and SU-8 negative PR as the electroplating molds. The fabrication process include multi- photolithography and electroplating process. A low-cost microscope glass slide was used as the substrate for producing the stencil. In order to meet the requirement for metal electroplating and structure releasing, the Ti/Au layers of 50 nm in thickness were coated on the substrate by sputtering. The injection hole is defined by the AZ4620 PR since AZ4620 can well sustain the nickel plating bath in a short electroplating time. On the contrary, the SU-8 PR can sustain long electroplating time of the nickel plating bath then prevented the first metal layer damage in second electroplating process. The high transparency of SU-8 PR also makes it easy to align the two PR plating molds. Prior to the nickel plating process, the patterned substrate was activated with CCP to enhance the surface wettability. The plasma treatment in order to further enhance the adhesion and the roughness for nickel layer. The metal structure was then released from the glass substrate using a diluted HF solution. The buffer reservoir was used to provide the necessary strength and uniform paste extrusion. Moreover, the buffer reservoir also reduced printing pressure from the injection hole. And the bridge structure to avoid the microstructure in stiction. Improved the stencil printing lifetime. Results showed that the developed stencil successfully printed silver paste with the pattern of around 15 μm in width and 1 μm in thickness. And the printing pitch also down to 20 μm. The complete right angle patterns confirmed that the developed stencil was capable for printing patterns with desired orientations. The blocking issued was excluded for the stencil and the printed pattern. The method develop in the present study will give substantial impact on the modern printing technology.
