A wafer level chip-scale-package (WLCSP) is expected to reduce the manufacturing cost of CSPs, but reliability of a solder joint for a large chip size of about 100 mm 2 without underfill assembly is still in question. To meet this needs, we have developed a highly reliable and low-cost WLCSP named wafer process package phase 2 (WPP-2). The package includes a built-in stress-relaxation layer for reducing the strain of the solder bumps. To lower the manufacturing cost of the package, the stress-relaxation layer is formed by printing. The Young's modulus and the thickness of the stressrelaxation layer were optimized by finite element analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
