  1. Flip Chip Technology Microwave Device Term Project 2005/6/16 Kim Dong Hwan School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Seoul National University, Korea

  2. Contents • Introduction • Wire Bonding vs. Flip Chip interconnect • Flip Chip Process (SSB & MSB) • Conclusion

  3. Introduction • Advancements in the packaging of semiconductor devicestraditionally use wire bonds to provide the interconnect from device to substrate or to other devices • Along with the rapid advances in microwave and millimeter wave subsystem development  a growing interest concerning chip interconnectiontechniques has developed. • The importance of quality of these interconnects  a large impact on the performance of the entire subsystem, especially at high frequencies. • Flip chip offers advantages over traditional interconnect schemes.  A smaller overall footprints, better thermal heat transfer

  4. Introduction • Wire Bonding vs. Flip Chip interconnect • Flip Chip Process (SSB & MSB) • Conclusion

  5. Wire Bonding Wire length loss Bond ribbon [Coplanar Waveguide Model]

  6. Flip Chip Interconnection MMIC(2mm 50 CPW line) CPW Motherboard on 20-cm Si wafer Bump Compared to the Bond Wire Small Big [Flip Chip Interconnection of Coplanar MMIC] [EM-Simulation Structure for RF test] [Gold(Stud) Bumps attached] Ref.Songsub Song

  7. Flip Chip Interconnection Bump Height ≥ Spacing ☞ The influence of substrate surface -> negligible {Bump height ≥ Ground to ground spacing of the transmission lines}

  8. Flip Chip Interconnection Flip Chip Interconnection Versus Wire Bonding Insertion loss Return loss Beyond 100GHz → Below 0.5dB

  9. 50  CPW (D= 80mm) • Alumina substrate MMIC or Device MMIC or Device Change in Z0 ( % ) ~ 3 % change at 20 mm D D Motherboard Motherboard Air gap (mm) [ E-field distribution for a flip-chip mounted CPW MMIC ] [ E-field distribution for a flip-chip mounted CPW MMIC ] [ Change rate of characteristic impedance as a function of air-gap for a flip-chip mounted CPW MMIC ] Proximity Effect in Flip-Chip Structure Height of flip-chip bump (air-gap) Ref.

  10. Why Flip Chip Technology? CPW MMIC m-strip MMIC Wire -Bonding Ground Via Flip-Chip Bump 50 ~ 100 mm [ Flip-Chip Bonding Technology ] [ Wire-Bonding Technology ] ~ 650 mm  Advantages of Flip Chip Bonging Technology.  Short Interconnection Length  Better Electrical Performances  High reproducibility  High Yield & Less Tuning  Compact size  High Packaging density  Passive components are made in dielectric substrate such as alumina Ceramics, SiO2 and BCB  Low Cost

  13. Stud Bump Bonding Technology [Cross-sectional SEM photograph of the bonding portion by SBB] [Process flow of the SBB]

  14. Micro Bump Bonding Technology -To cure the resin [Cross-sectional SEM photograph of the bonding portion by MBB] [Process flow of the MBB] ☞ Further requirements for miniaturization and higher frequency operation

  15. Conclusion • The need for smaller packaging • Flip chip interconnect process → more compact fashion • Improved electrical performance • Reduced interconnect length → lower inductance and reduced signal loss → lower power requirements • The demands of high frequency applications • Limitation of the wire interconnect → flip-chip bump connection [Flip Chip Bump Connection] [Wire connection]
