BiTS Materials Challenges

• Driving Forces– Larger wafers, smaller

pitch, higher pin count, shorter contacts create new problems in ...

• Fabrication• Co-planarity• Compliance

– Thermal management– Higher power/lower

voltage– Long socket life (cycles)

• Performance stability

• Base Metal Requirements– High yield strength– Moderate elastic modulus– Good formability– High electrical & thermal

conductivity– Good stress relaxation

resistance– Good fatigue strength– Low/uniform residual stress

Alloy 390TM HT in BiTS• “Proven technology” in on-going BiTS

applications– LGA (strength)– Low power (44 %IACS)

• But less T-rise than lower %IACS Cu-alloys– Meets demanding performance requirements

• Mill hardened– No heat treat distortion issues – Uniform residual stress -- high stamping yield– Consistent strength/hardness

• Meets higher spring force requirements• Passes increased cycle life test standards

Page 27: TM Burn-in & Test Socket Workshop

3/6/05-3/9/05 2005 Burn-In and Test Socket Workshop

24

Brushform 65TM in BiTS• “Alpha customer” trials feedback (POWER apps.)

– Stampability similar to other 100 ksi Cu-alloys– > 25% improvement in specific resistance vs.

Alloy 390 (65 %IACS vs. 44 %IACS)– 14% increase in Amperage carried vs. Alloy 390

• Improved current carrying capacity– Trial stamping in tooling for higher YS alloy

unintentionally compromised mechanical performance• Different elastic springback (dimensional control)• Higher initial permanent set (minor design change

could overcome -- offset by benefits of greater electrical performance)

Page 28: TM Burn-in & Test Socket Workshop

3/6/05-3/9/05 2005 Burn-In and Test Socket Workshop

25

Summary (I)• Brushform 65TM HT & Alloy 390TM HT meet

BiTS material challenges for demanding applications– Results of a rigorous “stage gate” New Product

Development Process– Examples of OEM/Stamper/Supplier partnership for

success in next generation BiTS for harsh applications

• Both alloys exhibit good stress relaxation resistance and provide desirable 3-attribute combinations– Relative T-rise/strength/formability– Formability/strength/conductivity– Stress relaxation/strength/conductivity

Page 29: TM Burn-in & Test Socket Workshop

3/6/05-3/9/05 2005 Burn-In and Test Socket Workshop

26

Summary (II)

• Alloy 390TM HT is a lean Cu-Be strip product with enhanced strength relative to traditional “high conductivity” Cu-Be alloys– Performance Figure of Merit > competitive non-Be Cu-

alloys of similar or lower %IACS– Strength within the mill hardened “high strength”

Cu-Be alloy range, with 44 %IACS minimum– Established in on-going LOW POWER BiTS

applications• Consistent residual stress & strength, high cycle life

Page 30: TM Burn-in & Test Socket Workshop

3/6/05-3/9/05 2005 Burn-In and Test Socket Workshop

27

Summary (III)

• Brushform 65TM is a new lean Cu-Ni-Be strip product with enhanced conductivity/strength combination relative to all other Cu-base connector alloys– Performance Figure of Merit in the same league as

competitive very high conductivity Cu alloys– High “conductivity product” = low temperature rise– BiTS application trials (HIGH CURRENT/POWER)

• Good stampability• Improved specific resistance & current carrying

capacity vs. Alloy 390TM

• NO insurmountable mechanical performance issues

Success

Page 33: TM Burn-in & Test Socket Workshop

Interconnect Success

• Goal: Minimize and sustain the junction resistance between the device lead and contact.

Rtotal = Rc + Rfilm

ConstrictionRc ∝ F-1/2 (force) ; Rc ∝ ρtip (plating)

FilmRfilm >> RC (oxide, debris)

Page 34: TM Burn-in & Test Socket Workshop

11/12/2002 Challenges of Contacting Lead-Free Devices 4

Challenges to Interconnect Success

• Maintaining bias throughout product life.

• Rfilm develops on the surface of the contact over insertion (debris and oxide).

• Wear of the contact tip can compromise the interconnect integrity:

– Plating (contact under-plate metallic oxidizes)– Function (wipe, piercing, etc.)

Industry Lead-Free Trends

• Leaded and Pad Packages– Matte Sn– NiPd ; NiPdAu– SnBi– Au

• Ball Grid Array Packages (BGA)– SnAg3.0-4.0Cu0.5

Page 36: TM Burn-in & Test Socket Workshop

11/12/2002 Challenges of Contacting Lead-Free Devices 6

Challenges in the Field• Matte Sn

– Customers see faster rise in resistance which leads to more frequent cleaning when compared to SnPb.

– Reduced contact life has been observed vs. SnPb, but not as great as with NiPdAu.

• NiPdAu– Customers observe good contact resistance until

the contact plating wears, which promotes a drastic drop in 1st pass yields.

– Contact life is much less when testing NiPdAu vs. Sn Pb.

Page 37: TM Burn-in & Test Socket Workshop

11/12/2002 Challenges of Contacting Lead-Free Devices 7

Qualification of Interconnect Success

• Contactor Designs• BGA Contactor

• Pad Contactor : ROL200 Design– Sn90Pb10

– Matte Sn100

– NiPdAu

Page 38: TM Burn-in & Test Socket Workshop

11/12/2002 Challenges of Contacting Lead-Free Devices 8

Qualification of Interconnect Success

• Contacts were populated into a contactor and mounted to a test board.

• Force Testing: Contact force was measured in real-time as devices were inserted into the contactor.

• Resistance Testing: The test board and devices were designed so that four-point Kelvin resistance measurements were made across pairs of contacts throughout the contactor.

Page 39: TM Burn-in & Test Socket Workshop

11/12/2002 Challenges of Contacting Lead-Free Devices 9

Qualification of Interconnect Success

• Resistance Testing cont.: Packaged devices were cycled through the contactor and Kelvin resistance measurements were recorded:– BGA Devices: Each device was cycled ten times

with resistance readings at the first and sixth insertion (reduce cost)

– Pad Devices: Each device was cycled only once, insuring virgin plating material on each insertion.

XPS Analysis of SnPb and SnAgCu Balls

• XPS: X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy• A beam of x-rays was focused on the sample

surface, which generates photoelectrons that are energy analyzed and counted.

• The atomic composition and chemistry of the sample surface can be determined from the emitted photoelectrons.

• Oxide thickness was defined as the depth at which the oxygen concentration fell to 50% of its peak value.

XPS/SEM Analysis of SnPb and SnAgCu Balls

• Conclusions From XPS and SEM:– Both SnPb and SnAgCu had Sn oxide

dominated layers of approx. 29Å.– Surface roughness of the SnAgCu was

much greater than that of SnPb and caused by pure Sn dendrites.

– No Sn dendritic growth was observed with SnPb balls.

Matte Sn and NiPdAu Qualification Pad ROL200 Design

• Utilizes non-plated contact of hardness >350 Vickers, with two elastomers to create device and load board bias.

• Tangential scrub action on the device. Contact rolling action on the load board.

• Manufactured for testing with:– 48QFN07-0.50

*Data from this design will be discussed within this presentation

Conclusions

• SnAgCu Evaluation– Sn rich solder smears

in the contact surface over insertion, creating resistance rise.

– Increase in force, combined with a self-cleaning function aids in maintaining of nominal resistance performance.

Conclusions

• Matte Sn Evaluation– Pure Sn tend to smear

and cover the contact surface.

– A prescribed cleaning cycle aids in maintaining low resistance values, while promoting long contact life.

Conclusions• NiPdAu Evaluation

– Debris/oxide presence was not detected and does not pose a problem to resistance performance. Cleaning wasn’t necessary during this test.

– Wear on un-plated contacts will reduce the force over insertion, thus increasing the variation in contact resistance.

Rc ∝ F-1/2

Page 55: TM Burn-in & Test Socket Workshop

11/12/2002 Challenges of Contacting Lead-Free Devices 25

Proposition for Interconnect Success

• SnAgCu and Matte Sn (Maintain Low R)– The right combination of force and self-

cleaning scrub eliminate Sn build-up on the contacts which will reduce cleaning frequency. (Reduce down time)

• NiPdAu (Promoting Long Life)– Un-plated contacts with material hardness

of >350 (Vickers) to ensure improved contact life.

Page 56: TM Burn-in & Test Socket Workshop

11/12/2002 Challenges of Contacting Lead-Free Devices 26

Future WorkUnderstanding Sn

• The mechanism for the increase in resistance due to the matte Sn pads and SnAgCu balls needs to be understood.

• An increase in force may reduce the need to clean as frequently, but also may reduce contact life.
