Optimization of reflow profile for copper pillar with SAC305 solder cap FCCSP

The current trend of electrical devices development is progressing towards miniaturization, multi-function and high density, device integration and fine pitch in a smaller package size. This led to the invention of copper pillar bumps which acts as a connection between the dies to its corresponding...

description The current trend of electrical devices development is progressing towards miniaturization, multi-function and high density, device integration and fine pitch in a smaller package size. This led to the invention of copper pillar bumps which acts as a connection between the dies to its corresponding substrate, which allows the fabrication of smaller semiconductor devices. The dies were mounted onto the substrate by undergoing mass reflow process where the SAC305 solder from the copper pillar bumps and substrate bumps will melt together and solidify to form a solder joint. The quality of the solder joint is influenced by the parameters that govern the reflow profile, which are ramp rate, soak time, time above liquidus time, peak temperature and cooling rate. If the reflow profile is not properly optimized, defects such as voids in the solder joint can pose a reliability issue for the packaged unit. Therefore, in this paper, ramp rate, soak time and time above liquidus of reflow profiles for die utilizing copper pillar bumps with SAC305 as its solder material was studied and optimized in finding the recommended range of each parameter of the reflow profiles that yield the least voiding in the solder joint.
