In this paper, mechanical bonding behaviors of microbumps in 2.5D/3D ICs assembly are studied theoretically. Solder force and spring constant of micro-bumps with different bond pad structures are estimated by using Surface Evolver. Deformations of dies with corresponding flattening distances are evaluated based on flexural theory and threedimensional contact theories. Allowable coplanarity of bond surface or die warpage during both mass reflow and thermal compression bond is developed. Guidelines to ensure successful bond and corresponding structural designs are earned.
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.
