TL;DR
This paper studies how temperature affects die shift in semiconductor packaging, showing that material softening and fluid flow significantly impact reliability.
Contribution
A new multiphysics framework is developed to predict die shift by integrating thermal softening and flow effects with temperature-dependent properties.
Findings
The Young’s modulus of heat release tape decreases by 2-3 times at high temperatures, increasing fluid-induced die shift.
Warpage effects dominate die shift in peripheral die locations, while fluid-flow effects intensify with higher local die density.
Incorporating temperature-dependent behavior improves simulation accuracy by up to 48% compared to experiments.
Abstract
Fan-out panel-level packaging is a leading technology in advanced semiconductor manufacturing, yet the phenomenon of die shift during the compression molding process remains a significant challenge to yield and reliability. This study presents a comprehensive investigation into the mechanisms of die shift, categorizing them into warpage-induced and fluid-flow-induced effects. By integrating material characterization, advanced finite element modeling, and nanoindentation analysis, we evaluate the thermal softening behavior of heat release tape and its contribution to die shift. It is found that the Young’s modulus of heat release tape (HRT) decreases by a factor of 2 to 3 at elevated temperatures, substantially increasing fluid-induced die shift. Simulations incorporating this high-temperature behavior improve agreement with experimental measurements by up to 48%. Moreover, results show…
