Abstract:
A JPL-led chip scale package (CSP) Consortium of enterprises, composed of team members representing government agencies and private companies, recently joined together to pool in-kind resources for developing the quality and reliability of chip scale packages (CSPs) for a variety of projects. The experience of the Consortium in building more than 150 test vehicle assemblies, single- and double-sided multilayer PWBs, and the environmental test results has now been published as a chip scale package (CSP)guidelines document and distributed by Interconnection Technology Research Institute (ITRI).
The Consortium assembled fifteen different packages with I/Os from 48 to 784 and pitches from 0.5 to 1.27 mm on multilayer FR-4 printed wiring board (PWB). Another test vehicle was designed and assembled by a team member using their internal resources and was identified as TV-H. The TV-H assemblies were subjected to numerous thermal cycling conditions including -55°C to 125°C with two ramp rates, one thermal cycle with 2° to 5° C/min and the other near thermal shock. Cycles-to-failure (CTF) test results to 1,000 cycles and 400 cycles under these conditions are presented for 180 and 208 I/O fine pitch ball grid arrays (FPBGAs) with three die sizes. Decrease in CTFs due to ramp rate and die size increase for different I/O FPBGAs with 0.8 mm pitch are compared and analyzed.
