Title: Warpage after molding processes: Can we really predict this? Prof. Bongtae Han University of Maryland, USA |
Abstract
Residual stresses exist inherently in components encapsulated by molding processes. They are combined with the stresses caused by the CTE mismatch, and eventually dictate the final warpage of components at room and reflow temperatures. For the past couple of decades, extensive efforts have been made to enhance the predictability of warpage. On the modeling front, commercial software packages are equipped with advanced but user-friendly analysis modules. As a result, even non-experts can model/simulate almost any kind of electronic packaging products. On the experimental front, thermo-mechanical properties required for numerical predictions, including CTE, Tg, and the temperature-dependent viscoelastic properties, are routinely measured by commercial tools such as TMA and DMA. In addition, temperature-dependent warpage can be measured using commercial shadow Moiré and DIC tools, and the results are used for model validation. Then, why is it still difficult to make quantitative prediction of warpage after molding processes?
Some studies in the literature show excellent agreements between warpage measurements and predictions. Yet, even the verified model does not predict the warpage of different packages molded by the same EMC accurately. In fact, good agreements of warpage between predictions and measurements are possible even when the properties of EMC are not correct and/or some critical properties of EMC are missing.
This presentation discusses in detail the incorrect and missing properties for the current practice of warpage modeling, and presents novel experimental methods to measure the required properties.

Title: Advanced Packaging Technology & Materials trends Dr. Santosh KUMAR Yole Dévelopement, France |
Abstract
Semiconductor industry has entered a new age where mobile /consumer and other drivers like big data, artificial intelligence, 5G, high performance computing (HPC), AR/VR/MR, cloud/edge computing, IoTs (including industrial IoT), smart automotive, industry 4.0, hyperscale data centers is creating demand for system or subsystems which require high computing power, high speed, more bandwidth, low latency, low power, more functionality, more memory, system level integration, variety of sensors while keeping the cost low. Heterogeneous integration using AP technologies is key to fulfil these system performance requirements and increase the value of a semiconductor product, adding functionality, maintaining/increasing performance while lowering cost. This places immense pressure on package suppliers with an increasing degree of customization required for each individual customer. Advanced Packaging market was $30B in 2020 and is expected to grow at CAGR2020-2026 of ~8% to reach ~ $48B in 2026. The megatrend applications are fueling the next generation of advanced packaging platforms (high-density FOWLP, 3D stacked TSV memory, WLCSP, and flip-chip), which have reached a new level of complexity and now demand higher integration-level requirements. These lofty standards will strongly influence the increasing demand for advanced materials with new technical specifications, to achieve better performance. The presentation will discuss about the advanced packaging technology and related materials trends.
