Wafer Level Package Design Optimization Using FEM

Abstract

ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACTArticle history:Wafer level package technology is added to the surface of wafer circuit packages to create a semiconductor technology that can minimize the size of the package. However, in conventional packaging, warpage and fracture are major concerns for semiconductor manufacturing. We optimized the wafer dam design using a finite element method according to the dam height and heat distribution thermal properties. The dam design influences the uniform deposition of the image sensor and prevents the filling material from overflowing. In this study, finite element analysis was employed to determine the key factors that may affect the reliability performance of the dam package. Three-dimensional finite element models were constructed using the simulation software ANSYS to perform the dam thermo-mechanical simulation and analysis.
