Reflowed indium metal has for decades been the standard for solder thermal interface materials (solder TIMs or sTIMs) in most high-performance computing (HPC) TIM1 applications. The IEEE Heterogeneous Integration Thermal roadmap states that new thermal interface materials solutions must provide a path to the successful application of increased total-package die areas up to 100cm2. While GPU architectures are relatively isothermal during usage, CPU hotspots in complex heterogeneously-integrated modules will need to be able to handle heat flux hotspots up to 1000W/cm2 within the next two years. Indium and its alloys are used as reflowed solder thermal interface materials in both CPU and GPU "die to lid/heat spreader" (TIM1) applications. Their high bulk thermal conductivity and proven long-term reliability suit them well for extreme thermomechanical stresses. Voiding is the most important failure mode and has been studied by x-ray. The effects of surface pretreatment, pressure during reflow, solder flux type/fluxless processing, and preform design parameters, such as alloy type, are also examined. The paper includes data on both vacuum and pressure (autoclave) reflow of sTIMs, which is becoming necessary to meet upcoming requirements for ultralow voiding in some instances.

Heterogeneous integration has become an important performance enabler as high-performance computing (HPC) demands continue to rise. The focus to enable heterogeneous integration scaling is to push interconnect density limit with increased bandwidth and improved power efficiency. Many different advanced packaging architectures have been deployed to increase I/O wire / area density for higher data bandwidth requirements, and to enable more effective die disaggregation. Embedded Multi-die Interconnect Bridge (EMIB) technology is an advanced, cost-effective approach to in-package high density interconnect of heterogeneous chips, providing high density I/O, and controlled electrical interconnect paths between multiple dice in a package. In emerging architectures, it is required to scale down the EMIB die bump pitch in order to further increase the die-to-die (D2D) communication bandwidth. Aa a result, bump pitch scaling poses significant challenges in the plated solder bump reflow process, e.g., bump height / coplanarity control, solder wicking control, and bump void control. It's crucial to ensure a high-quality solder bump reflow process to meet the final product reliability requirements. In this paper, a combined formic acid based fluxless and vacuum assisted reflow process is developed for fine pitch plated solder bumping application. A high-volume production (HVM) ready tool has been developed for this process.

Understanding The Crucial Role Of Dust Collectors In PCB Depaneling Machines Precision is paramount in PCB manufacturing, but it must go hand in hand with cleanliness. The intrusion of dust and debris can wreak havoc on delicate electronics. This article explores the pivotal role of dust collectors, their operation, and their necessity for various PCB depaneling machines. The Dust Collector's Crucial Function Dust collectors, also known as dust extractors, play an indispensable role in PCB manufacturing. When a PCB depaneling machine or a Laser PCB Depaneling machine is in operation, it generates a significant amount of dust. The dust collector promptly engages its vacuum motor to suction fine particles off the PCB, directing them to a collector equipped with a filtration system. Which Models Of PCB Depanelers Require Dust Collector? Several PCB depaneling machines necessitate dust collectors to ensure precision and cleanliness, including: I.C.T-5700 Offline Depaneling Machine, high precision, easy manual operation, dual platform, high efficiency. I.C.T-IR350 In-line depaneling machine, high precision, rapid operation, suitable for integration into the SMT production line for Industry 4.0 and AI automated production. I.C.T-LCO350 Laser cutting ensures cutting accuracy of 0.002, ideal for precise cutting requirements. I.C.T-100A Desktop PCB depaneling machine with compact size and high precision, suitable for smaller-scale operations. The Science Behind PCB Dust Collectors To prevent charged dust particles from adhering to PCBs, PCB depaneling machines are equipped with ionizing guns. These devices emit ions that neutralize static charges, making dust particles less likely to stick to freshly cut PCBs. The Vacuum Effect: Suctioning Away Dust During PCB depaneling, a cloud of dust is produced. The dust collector utilizes a robust suction system, often powered by vacuum motors, to draw dust away from the work area. Collected dust is transported to a designated collection point within the dust collector. A Difference In Design: I.C.T-5700 Vs. I.C.T-IR350 The placement of the dust collection apparatus distinguishes PCB depaneling machines. I.C.T-5700 has a bottom-mounted system capturing falling dust, while I.C.T-IR350 features a top-mounted system preventing dust settling on the work surface. This strategic difference ensures efficient removal of dust and debris, guaranteeing a clean and precise manufacturing process. Check: If you want to learn about the comparison of I.C.T-5700 and I.C.T-IR350. The Importance Of Filter Replacement The efficiency of a dust collector relies on its filter, necessitating periodic replacement every 1-3 years, depending on usage frequency. Regular filter maintenance ensures optimal performance.
