Abstract

In this paper, we report recent studies on interface adhesion in flip-chip packaging. The adhesion energies of underfill interfaces found in typical flip-chip packaging pplications are characterized and presented using a racture-mechanics approach. The effects of underfill formulations and changes in polymer top-layer on PCB and chip passivation are also evaluated. The effects of underfill organosilane content, ubstrate surface chemistry and morphology, and underfill filler content are discussed in terms of fundamental mechanisms of adhesion.
