The thermal characteristics of thermally conductive underfill in flip chip package was studied. To enhance the thermal conductivity of underfill, the epoxy was mixed with thermally conductive fillers, such as silica (I.SW/mK), alumina(36W/mK), or diamond(2000W/mK). Coefficient of thermal expansion(CTE) was changed by filler and its content, and CTE was 28 ppm for 60 wt% silica, 39 ppm for 6 0 d h alumina and 24 ppm for 60wt% diamond. Thermal conductivity was calculated from the measurement of thermal diffusivity, density and specific heat capacity under the various temperatrue conditions with the various fillers. To investigate thermal characteristics of different underfill, Diode Temperature Sensor Array(DTSA) was fabricated, which consists of 32 by 32 array of diodes (1,024 diodes) for temperature measurement and 8 heaters for heat source on a 8" by 8mm of silicon surface. The DTSA was packaged by flip chip packaging method and applied with the same power(0.84W) for different underfilled packages. Finally, the thermal simulations with ICEPAK matched very well with the measurement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
