Flip Chip and CSP Technologies - Constructions, Materials, Assembly
and Reliability
Course Leader:
R. Wayne Johnson, Ph.D., Auburn University
Course Description:
The increasing number of I/O per semiconductor chip combined with
the product driven requirements of thinner, smaller and lighter
weight have lead the electronics packaging and assembly industry
to chip scale packages and flip chip (Flip Chip in Package (FCiP)
and Flip Chip on Laminate (FCoL)) technologies. In fact, many
CSPs use FCiP constructions. This course will begin by examining
the drivers for flip chip and CSP technologies then examine the
options, their construction and trade-offs. 3-D CSPs will also
be examined. Substrate design requirements will be discussed including
routing, and pad design. Major assembly issues are flux selection
for flip chip, solder paste printing for CSPs, under filling,
if necessary, and inspection. Under filling which is not a traditional
SMT assembly process is required for flip chip and often for CSPs.
The under fill process and material options for flip chip and
CSP will be examined. Recently, wafer applied under fill material
concepts for FCoL assemblies have been discussed and this new
technology concept will be explored. The replacement of leads
by solder spheres impacts reliability, particularly in thermal
cycling and bending, and must be considered prior to implementing
these technologies. The course will conclude with a discussion
of reliability.
Who should attend?
This Course is intended for those individuals soon to be responsible
for implementing flip chip assembly, suppliers of materials and
equipment for flip chip assembly and others interested in flip
chip implementation.

Fundamentals of Fabrication and Packaging of MEMS, Related Micro
and Nano Systems
Course Leader:
Ajay P. Malshe, Ph.D., High Density Electronics Center (HiDEC),
University of Arkansas
Course Description:
Fabrication and application specific packaging of micro electromechanical
systems (MEMS) is a subject of immense interest. Their application
specific packaging with other components is challenging and unlike
IC packaging, has a different set of demands from releasing, dicing-to-interconnection
at chip-scale and manufacturing at wafer-level. This globally
taught course will address silicon and non-silicon micro fabrication
processes and related design details, and packaging of silicon
and non-silicon MEMS and related microsystems. The course will
use a range of novel applications to advocate the use of various
fabrication and packaging processes. The course will also introduce
a new area on the horizon - "nano packaging and manufacturing."
In the broader scope of the subject, for the 21st century packaging
community infusion of signals (electrical, optical, chemical,
mechanical, etc.), domains (hermetic, vacuum, fluidic, optical,
etc.) and scales (nano-to-micro-macro) are of significant importance
for designing and developing next generation engineered micro
and nano products as well as for adding value / functions to the
existing products. Particularly, key words, namely MEMS, micro
systems and nano technology, have the captured attention of technology
leaders. MEMS and related micro systems are typically divided
into two application areas: sensors and actuators. These are applied
for a range of applications such as automotive, biomedical, optical,
RF, etc. Examples of systems, devices and related application
specific packages, are accelerometers, gyros, DMDâ, lab-on-a-chip,
SMART drugs, etc. Further, with the major investment and key advancements
in nanotechnology, nano integrated MEMS and related micro devices
and packages are of major importance to the next generation of
engineered electronic systems.

RF/Microwave Hybrids: Basics, Materials and Processes
Course Leader:
Richard Brown, Richard Brown Associates, Inc.
Course Description:
In recent years, the demands for high frequency systems and products
have been growing at a rapid pace. Coupled with the continuing
development of monolithic integrated circuits, MMICs, are new
materials and process refinement of hybrids. As a result, system
and product designers are faced with the choice between hybrids
and MMICs; i.e., complete system on a chip vs. hybrids with discrete
devices, or more often, somewhere in-between. This course will
begin with a short, non-mathematical review of high frequency
basics. Next a comparison of MMICs and hybrids is presented. The
transmission line as the basic circuit component of RF and microwave
hybrids will be reviewed. Hybrid "waveguide" structures
will be compared as they relate to transmission line properties.
The basic materials (conductors, dielectrics and substrates) and
their properties will be introduced. Their effect on impedance,
circuit properties and performance will be discussed. Processing
technologies suitable for RF/microwave hybrids will be reviewed.
Selected packaging protocols, such as vias and bonding wires,
will be discussed in light of their influence on RF/microwave
performance. At the completion of this course, attendees will
have a better understanding of many of the critical materials
and processing factors affecting high frequency circuit performance.
Who should attend?
This introductory course will benefit those associated with the
RF and microwave arena. In particular this course will benefit
those with responsibility for design and manufacturing of RF/microwave
hybrids. Supervisors, engineers and technicians involved in product
development, design and manufacture are encouraged to attend.

Microsystems Packaging: Technologies, Markets and Careers
1/2 Day Course PM o 1 PM - 5:00 PM
Instructors: Prof. Rao R. Tummala, Petit Chair Professor,
Director NSF-PRC, GRA Scholar, Georgia Institute of Technology;
Janet K. Lumpp, University of Kentucky; Leyla Conrad, Georgia
Institute of Technology
Information technology involves hardware, software, applications
and services. This industry has become the largest industry surpassing
agriculture that lasted more than a millennium and steel that
lasted more than a century. It is becoming the driving engine
for science, technology, manufacturing and services paving the
way for unparalleled prosperity of people and countries that participate
in it. Better than 80% of all millionaires in the U.S. during
the last five years have been attributed to this industry.
Microelectronics systems packaging involves all the technologies
in forming electronic systems for consumer, telecom, computer,
automotive, aerospace and medical industries. These technologies
typically involve all the components and their interconnections
to form system level boards to provide system level functions.
Microelectronics packaging is the ultimate cross-disciplinary
technology that involves engineers from various backgrounds. For
example: electrical design typically performed by Electrical or
Electronic and Computer Engineers; thermo-mechanical design by
Mechanical Engineers; development of new materials that provide
the required functions by Materials Engineers; fabrication of
components by Chemical Engineers; electrical test by Electrical
or Electronic Engineers; IC and board assembly by Mechanical or
Materials Engineers; thermal management and reliability by Mechanical
Engineers; and so on. Working together as a team from all these
disciplines, packaging engineers design, fabricate, integrate,
test, cool and assure reliability of the entire microelectronic
system.
This four-hour course will present the global microelectronics
market, past and future technologies that constitute this market,
the educational opportunities that are available and career prospects
for a lifelong career around the world in various industries.
