ABSTRACTIn flip-chip packaging an underfill mixture is placed into the chip-to-substrate standoff created by the array of solder bumps, using a capillary flow process. The flow behavior is a complex function of the mixture properties, the wetting properties, and the flow geometry. This paper reports on the use of a plane channel capillary flow to characterize underfill materials. The measured flow behavior provides evidence that both the contact angle (θ) and the suspension viscosity (μapp) vary with time under the Influence of changing flow conditions. This nonlinear fluid behavior is modeled for the flow of both model suspensions and commercial underfill materials using an extended Washburn model.

In flip chip packages, it is common practice for interconnects to be encapsulated with a liquid underfill material. This paper describes the effects of different underfill processes, i.e., the conventional capillary-flow underfill and two no-flow underfill processes, on flip chip packaging. The warpage of the package was examined, and the value of this during three different underfill encapsulating processes was measured. In addition, the interconnect reliability of the bump bonds after thermal-cycling was evaluated using a test circuit. The warpage of the package before curing varied depending on the assembly process, but that after curing was almost the same for all the processes studied. It was found that the interconnect reliability is closely related to the differences in the warpage arising from the assembly process, and that the smaller change in warpage introduced by the curing process gave a higher interconnect reliability for the bump bonds. Based on these findings, lower curing temperatures are considered to be more effective for improving the mountability of the package and the interconnect reliability.

Underfilling is the vital process to reduce the impact of the thermal stress that results from the mismatch in the co-efficient of thermal expansion (CTE) between the silicon chip and the substrate in Flip Chip Packaging. This paper reported the pattern of underfill’s hardness during curing process for large die Ceramic Flip Chip Ball Grid Array (FC-CBGA). A commercial amine based underfill epoxy was dispensed into HiCTE FC-CBGA and cured in curing oven under a new method of two-step curing profile. Nano-identation test was employed to investigate the hardness of underfill epoxy during curing steps. The result has shown the almost similar hardness of fillet area and centre of the package after cured which presented uniformity of curing states. The total curing time/cycle in production was potentially reduced due to no significant different of hardness after 60 min and 120 min during the period of second hold temperature.
