In this paper, delamination occurred in Plastic Quad Flat Package (PQFP) had been found after mol-process. From the prelirmnary observation, the wafer surface profile is different from the others from atomic force microscopy (AFM) analysis, for example, the pitch and trench of local die surface. Herein a stress simulation was performed to characterize the interaction among the molding compound formula design, molding process and wafer surface topography. The results show that the wafer topography does have a significant impact on in-situ molding process. Aside from simulation, the Fourier Transform Infiared Spectrometry V I R ) was used to characterize the uniformity of top layer passivation. The result showed that the uniformity of deposited passivation was not quite homogeneous as compared to the well-stunk area, of that might cause insufficient adhesion in which contributed by low density of chemical bonding in the interface. Therefore, wafer surface topography and its chemistry do have a significant impact in IC pack-.
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.
