Glue Voids Reduction on QFN Device through Material and Process Improvement

Abstract

The paper is focused on the glue voids reduction on critical semiconductor quad-flat no-leads (QFN) device processed on a stencil printing type of die attach machine. Process optimization through material preparation improvement was done to mitigate the silver lumps of the sintering glue which is a main contributor on the voids occurrence. Eventually, the glue voids were reduced to less than the allowed 5% limit. For future works, the learnings and configuration could be used on devices with similar requirement.
