Dynamics of Ultrasonic Transducer System for Thermosonic Flip Chip Bonding

Thermosonic flip chip bonding is used in certain fine pitch IC packaging for its unique features. By using this bonding process in this paper, 1 mm$, times ,$1 mm chip with 8 gold bumps has been bonded onto a silver-coated substrate. Dynamical properties of transducer system, which is the key component for providing the ultrasonic energy, have been investigated using finite element model (FEM) and measurement using impedance analyzer and laser doppler vibrometer (LDV). The simulation results show that the ultrasonic transducer vibrates by coupling with all excited modes, therefore resulting in complicated motions during bonding. The third axial mode, which includes 1.5 wavelengths and 3 nodes, is the dominant working vibration. However, this axial mode is severely disturbed by undesirable non-axial modes such as flexural modes. There are some other unwanted parasitic modes close to dominant mode. Measured velocities of the transducer horn show that the system vibrates under several modes simultaneously. The impedance measurements reveal additional frequencies overlapping the working frequency. All non-axial modes of the ultrasonic transducer disturb the bonding process and degrade the bonding quality. A subtle control is needed to obtain unique axial mode and stable vibration for high bonding quality.

Advanced process characterization for 125 kHz wire bonder ultrasonic transducers

A high frequency ultrasonic transducer for wire bonding is conceived, designed, prototyped, tested and industrially produced. The influence of each feature of the ultrasonic transducer design, such as constituent material, amplifier geometry, mounting flange, capillary fixing, on the wire bonding process results is clearly identified and carefully analyzed through thorough process tests. The assembly and aging characteristics of the transducers are measured and the scattering of the vibration properties in the mass production is statistically quantified by laser interferometer measurements and compared with that of conventional horns. The transducer is mounted on the wire bonder with a flange whose special geometry is calculated by means of FEM simulations and patented. This flange allows the mechanical stiffness of the coupling transducer-wire bonder to be dramatically increased and the parasitic mechanical dynamical vibrations at the horn tip to be significantly reduced. Process tests show that the reduction in mechanical vibrations obtained in this way allows a wire bonder scarcely capable normally to attain the 80 /spl mu/m fine pitch process, to perform easily the 60 /spl mu/m fine pitch process. A beneficial impact of the mechanical coupling horn-wire bonder on the process performance is ascertained. The use of titanium as horn material, characterized by a low thermal expansion coefficient, is proven by process tests to be effective in improving the placement accuracy of the wire bonder. The high vibration frequency of the transducer (125 kHz) is proven by process tests to be effective in improving the ball roundness and the fine pitch wire bonding capabilities of the wire bonder and in decreasing the minimum wire bonding temperature and the applied bond force. The new approach to characterize the process performance of new ultrasonic transducer designs is of general importance for wire bonding technology.

Ultrasonic Bonding Using Anisotropic Conductive Films (ACFs) for Flip Chip Interconnection

In this paper, a novel anisotropic conductive film (ACF) flip chip bonding method using ultrasonic vibration for flip chip interconnection is demonstrated. The curing and bonding behaviors of ACFs by ultrasonic vibration were investigated using a 40-kHz ultrasonic bonder with longitudinal vibration. In situ temperature of the ACF layer during ultrasonic (U/S) bonding was measured to investigate the effects of substrate materials and substrate temperature. Curing of the ACFs by ultrasonic vibration was investigated by dynamic scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis in comparison with isothermal curing. Die adhesion strength of U/S-bonded specimens was compared with that of thermo-compression (T/C) bonded specimens. The temperature of the ACF layer during U/S bonding was significantly affected by the type of substrate materials rather than by the substrate heating temperature. With room the temperature U/S bonding process, the temperature of the ACF layer increased up to 300degC within 2 s on FR-4 substrates and 250degC within 4 s on glass substrates. ACFs were fully cured within 3 s by ultrasonic vibration, because the ACF temperature exceeded 300degC within 3 s. Die adhesion strengths of U/S-bonded specimens were as high as those of T/C bonded specimens both on FR-4 and glass substrates. In summary, U/S bonding of ACF significantly reduces the ACF bonding times to several seconds, and also makes bonding possible at room temperature compared with T/C bonding which requires tens of seconds for bonding time and a bonding temperature of more than 180degC.     

Power and Interface Features of Thermosonic Flip-Chip Bonding

Driving voltage and current signals of piezoceramic transducer were measured directly by using digital storage oscilloscope, and interface microcharacteristics of the specimens of flip-chip bonding were inspected by using a transmission electron microscope. Results show such a trend that power curves of badly bonding were much lower than that of hard bonding, and indicated a monitoring system of ultrasonic bonding reliability. The acceleration of ultrasonic vibration was about several ten thousand times as acceleration of gravity, which activates dislocations inside the metal crystalline lattice which act as the fast diffusion channels. Dislocation diffusion is more prominent than the crystal diffusion when the temperature is low. Differing from thermal melting mechanism of the reflow bonding, the ultrasonic bonding is much faster than the reflow solder bonding.
