To meet the requirements of the next high generation high-performance networking switches and routers, system integration based on the Three-dimensional (3D) System-in-Package (SiP) technology is being studied and developed. In this paper, we report the development of a 3D SiP using the organic interposer technology. A 3D SiP is designed and manufactured with a large size organic interposer with f...Show More
To enable three-dimensional (3D) ASIC and memory integration, large-size silicon interposer is a critical technology [1]. Currently most silicon interposers are manufactured by wafer foundries and are limited in size by the wafer lithographic processing. In this study, manufacturing of cost- and performance-effective, large-size silicon interposers are investigated. The existing supply chain and i...Show More
In this study, we used simulation technique to analyze the thermal behaviors and investigate the thermal issues of a designed system in package (SiP) for network system application that based on a three dimensional integrated circuit (3D IC) structure. The 3D IC SiP has an interposer which with regularly embedded through-silicon vias (TSVs); there are one CPU chip and two DRAM chips planted on the...Show More
The bandwidth for high performance networking switches and routers increases two to ten times in every new generation. This in turn drives the bandwidth requirements for the Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) and their external memory devices designed for the high performance network systems. 3D IC integration with its low power, high density and high bandwidth advantages is proposed...Show More
Chip-package interaction has become an increasingly important concern due to higher reflow temperatures of Pb-free solders and the heterogeneous integration of materials with vastly different properties. In particular, shear stresses are common during the packaging process. In this study, a microprobe metrology system is used to assess the mechanics of advanced interconnect structures under shear ...Show More
Packaging advanced silicon devices has become increasingly challenging because the effects of stresses exerted on interconnect structures during package assembly and operation are not well understood. In this study, a microprobe metrology system is used to assess the mechanics of these interconnect structures. This allows for a better understanding of the robustness of an interconnect design and t...Show More
Thermally cycled PBGA packages with a full array of 196 solder joints after various pre-conditions are examined to observe the microstructure evolution of Sn-Ag-Cu solder joints during aging and thermal cycling, focusing on Sn grain orientation. Each PBGA package was polished to obtain plan view cross sections of every solder joint, and characterized using both Polarized Optical microscopy and Ori...Show More

High end networking and computing applications continue to drive silicon technologies for higher data rates and increased bandwidth. The push for silicon performance with 45nm and 32nm devices also drives a need for packaging performance to deliver clean and efficient power to the device. This paper compares the electrical performance, assembly and reliability of various advanced packaging technol...Show More
For electroplated Sn and Sn alloy finishes, one of the reliability concerns remains the risk of whisker growth. Results from recent work have suggested that whiskers are most likely to form in regions of the films where high stress or a stress gradient exists. If strain/stress distribution information can be collected at a grain-by-grain level, correlations between such information and the propens...Show More
The microstructure and mechanical behavior of Sn-Ag-Cu (SAC) soldering alloys can change significantly over time when exposed to isothermal aging and in-situ current stress. Electronics assemblies built with SAC solder joints are exposed to elevated ambient temperatures and relatively high current densities for prolonged periods of time. Therefore it is important to understand the impact of these ...Show More
Chip-scale package (CSP) is commonly seen on high density boards as it minimizes the foot print while packed more functionality into one component. Board level reliability concern over CSPs is that finer pitch limits the solder ball size attached and the stencil thickness used in assembly which leads to much smaller joint volume and standoff while larger die-to-package ratio typically means higher...Show More
In an ever-increasingly connected world, the boundaries or obstacles to accessing information are being torn down by business necessity, personal preferences and technical innovations.
