Registration Ends Tonight for the Arizona Chapter Lunch Meeting September 11 on MEMS Packaging Overview and Activities at Amkor ^
Top
MEMS Packaging Overview and Activities at Amkor In recent years, the MEMS devices have witnessed an explosive growth in market size, as well as the number of applications. Areas as diverse as automotive, gaming, mobile communications, display, printing, fiber optics, and biomedical have benefited from the integration MEMS technology. As most MEMS devices are based on silicon wafer process technology, it is only natural for semiconductor companies, design houses, and wafer foundries to jump on the MEMS bandwagon. In this presentation, a high-level overview of the packaging aspects of MEMS will be discussed. Issues including the similarities/dissimilarities of MEMS vs. Si, existing package platforms with potential MEMS application, cost drivers, and current MEMS activity examples at Amkor will be reviewed. Presented by: Bob Kuo received his Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from National University of Taiwan, before he continued his pursue of graduate degrees in Materials Science (MS 1987, Ph.D.1993) at University of Rochester, NY. He spent 5 years with Polaroid Corp. in Boston area, in charge of optical metrology and new product development. Opportunity in working with Intel on their first CMOS camera optic module and warm weather lured him and his family to relocate in Tucson and joining Applied Image, Optics in 1997. His assignments there included managing the metrology group and then new business development. With the team Bob helped develop the world’s first plastic turn signal lens, first diffractive lens for digital imaging, first plastic lens for PC camera, and first plastic lens for cell phone camera modules. He left the company in pursue of consulting career, landing contracts in China, Taiwan, Singapore, and US. He joined Amkor in 1995 and is currently working as Director of Advanced Package Development, responsible for MEMS and photonics packages.

Top
Abstract: This is the only Subaru auto assembly plant in the United States. SIA Associates also build the Toyota Camry here through a business collaboration with Toyota. The tour route includes many exciting areas in the plant from Stamping, Body Shop, Paint Shop, Trim and Final, and concluding with the vehicle going through the Tester Line. Subaru has made many improvements and received numerous awards over the past several years. This plant became the first automotive assembly plant in 2004 to be "Zero-Landfill." SIA send nothing from its manufacturing process to the landfill. Your typical household puts more trash in the ground that SIA's entire manufacturing facility! The tour will be one mile along an elevated catwalk. You are encouraged to wear flat, comfortable closed-toe shoes and be ready to negotiate more than 90 up-and-down steps on the catwalk tour. Ladies must wear slacks. Subaru can accommodate up to 7 people at a time that may experience difficulty with the walk by using a golf cart. High school and college students are invited to attend.

September 25 Florida Chapter Dinner Meeting with Presentation on Printed Electronics ^
Top
ABSTRACT: The term Printed Electronics (PE) continues to generate a lot buzz amongst those outside the IMAPS community. However, those of us with a long IMAPS history know Printed Electronics has been around for over 40 years. New PE market applications include Displays, Backplanes, and RFID. In addition to Screen Printing, other patterning methods include Ink Jet, Flexography, and Gravure. This presentation will attempt to define Printed Electronics, describe why there is such a high level of interest, and caution against getting too caught up in the industry hype. BIO: Scott Gordon of DuPont Microcircuit Materials (MCM) is currently the MCM Regional Sales Manager for North & South America, based out of Research Triangle Park, NC. Scott's career began as a MCM Sales Representative in the Mid-Atlantic region, and he has held numerous Sales and New Business Development positions in DuPont's Displays, Holographics, and Advanced Fiber Systems business units. Prior to rejoining the Microcircuit Materials business as Regional Sales Manager in late 2006, Scott was a Strategic Market Development Manager in the Central Research and Development (CR&D) group at DuPont's Experimental Station in Wilmington, DE. While in CR&D, Scott became active in several research programs aimed at creating advanced patterning technologies and materials for use in next generation Printed Electronics. Scott graduated from Lafayette College with a BS in Metallurgical Engineering. He is a third generation DuPont employee, and is now in his 22nd year with DuPont.

Metro Chapter October 7 Dinner Meeting, Tabletop Exhibition and Presentation on Optical Leak Test (OLT) Technology in Production Applications ^
Top
Optical Leak Test (OLT) Technology in Production Applications Much has been written about the shortfalls in conventional Helium mass spectroscopy and bubble leak testing for fine and gross leak inspection of hermetically sealed components. These problems include: one way leakers, Helium absorption on the package body, “virtual leakers,” false readings for small volume packages, repeatable leak rate test coverage in the 10-05 cc-atm/sec range, problems with helium backfills, product contamination and masking of fine leaks during bubble testing, high bomb pressures and long cycle times, and the inability to test at the board level. There have been numerous papers describing each of these problem areas in painstaking detail. Optical Leak Testing (OLT) is a viable hermeticity test technique that addresses all of the above. It’s a proven high volume Fine and Gross leak test that has been embraced by, the Hybrid, discrete device, and medical device manufacturers, as well as Aerospace companies and DoD agencies. Since 1995 OLT has been an accepted leak test method in Mil-Std TM1014, conditions C4 and C5. OLT technology has evolved and improved to the point, where the OLT test equipment displays the leak rate measurement in the familiar units of cc-atm/sec., eliminating the need for leak rate vs. lid deflection plots. Using OLT technology devices are placed in a test chamber and exposed to a pressurized low molecular weight gas such as helium. If the package is leaking, the lid deflects in response to a changing pressure as the device cavity and test chamber pressure come to equilibrium. Precision chamber pressure measurements combined with individual package lid stiffness and velocity data, obtained by laser holography, are used to determine package leak rates in helium cc-atm/sec LHe. The ultimate sensitivity of the instrument is a function of package volume, chamber working pressure and test time. The method has demonstrated a very high level of accuracy and repeatability. Beta site test correlation data from an actual production line will be presented and discussed. Biography Mr. Aubertin has been Vice President and General Manager of NorCom Systems Inc. a manufacturer of Optical Leak Inspection equipment in Norristown, PA, since 1998. The company provides production systems and services for hermetic seal inspection of electronic devices including opto-electronics, hybrids, MEMS, Hi-Rel, as well as medical devices. He was instrumental in the development and manufacturing of the first production Optical Leak Test systems in 1992, that were first included in MIL-STD -883 and MIL-STD-750 in 1995.These systems have since been purchased and used by over fifty companies worldwide for gross and fine leak production hermetic inspection. For the past twenty six years, Mr. Aubertin has worked in the field of non-destructive inspection (NDI). He managed the development and production of laser based optical inspection systems for Laser Technology Inc. (LTI). These systems detect sub-surface flaws in composite materials using optical Shearography and Holography. He helped develop and manufacture the first electronic Shearography systems in 1986 for the Northrop B-2 Bomber program, and these LTI systems have been used on a wide variety of inspection programs including the Space Shuttle, F-22, Cessna Citation and the X-33. Chris is a member of the (American Society of Non destructive Testing) and IMAPS (International Microelectronics And Packaging Society). 7th International Symposium on Microelectronics and Packaging (ISMP 2008) ^
