Elimination Of Die-Pop Defect By Vacuum Reflow For Ultrathin Die With Warpage In Semiconductor Packaging Assembly
By Amkor - 18 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 0

Semiconductor die thickness is getting thinner over time due to improvement of power efficiency in advance power electronic packages. Ultrathin die with convex warpage can easily deteriorate the solder void removal process during solder reflow, leading to various packaging reliability issues. In particular, a new type of packaging defect phenomenon—die-pop—is observed. Vacuum reflow process... » read more
