In the 1990's, both BGA (Ball Grid Array) and CSP (Chip Size Package) are entering their end in the front-end packaging materials and process technology. Both BGA and CSP like SMD (Surface Mount Device) from the I 980's and THD (Through-Hole mount Device) from the 1970's are reaching its own impasse in terms of maximizing its electrical, mechanical, and thermal performances, size, weight, and reliability.

Programs have been developed to predict the expected yield of flip chip assemblies, based on substrate design and the statistics of actual manufactured boards, as well as placement machine accuracy, variations in bump sizes, and possible substrate warpage. These predictions and the trends they reveal can be used to direct changes in design so that defect levels will fall below the acceptable limits. Shapes of joints are calculated analytically, or when this is not possible, numerically by means of a public domain program called Surface Evolver. The method is illustrated with an example involving the substrate for a flip chip BGA.

This article provides practical and affordable Design-for- Test (DFT) and Design-for-Inspection (DFI) methods that will have a positive impact on product costs, yield, reliability, and time-to-market. The properties of testability (including controllability and observability) will be analysed as they relate to analogue and digital design rules and their cause/effect, as well as the electrical and physical characteristics of proper PCB design.

Many PCB designers are interested in taking advantage of Multichip Modules, but are unfamiliar with the technology. While the design process is very much the same, MCM manufacturing processes vary dramatically. MCM routing requirements are dictated by the manufacturing process and types of components. Components mounted on MCM substrates are predominantly, if not exclusively, bare chips. As a result, the component body and I/O pins are no longer constrained to industry standard pin counts and form factors as are packaged components...

The demand for 0201 components in consumer products will increase sharply over the next few years due to the need for miniaturization. It is predicted that over 20 billion 0201 components will be used in more than one billion cell phones worldwide by the year 2003. Therefore, research and development on 0201 assembly is becoming a very hot topic. The first step to achieve a successful assembly process is to obtain a good PCB design for 0201 packages. This paper presents the data and criteria of PCB design for 0201 packages, including the pad design for 0201 components, and the minimum pad spacing or component clearance between 0201 components or between 0201 and other components. A systematic study on pad design and pad spacing was undertaken, using two test vehicles and three Design of Experiments (DOEs). In the first DOE, 2 out of 18 types of 0201 pad designs were selected based on process yield. The second DOE was focused on pad spacing, including 10mil, 8mil, 6mil and 4mil. The third experiment was final optimization, using two types of optimized pad designs with 10mil, 8mil and 6mil pad spacing. Through the above experiments, the design guideline for PCB layout for 0201 packages and the assembly process capability are identified.

Due to the arrayed nature of the Computed Tomography (CT) Detector, high density area array interconnect solutions are critical to the functionality of the CT detector module. Specifically, the detector module sensor element, hereby known as the Multi-chip module (MCM), has a 544 position BGA area array pattern that requires precise test stimulation. A novel pogo-pin block array and corresponding motorized test socket has been designed to stimulate the MCM and acquire full functional test data. (...) This paper and presentation will focus on the socket design challenges and also key learnings from the design that can be applied to general test systems, including reliability testing. The secondary focus will be on the overall data collection and graphical user interface for the test equipment.
