Transfer Molding is currently the most widely used process for encapsulation integrated circuits(;IC). Although the process has been introduced over 20 years ago, generating billions of parts each year, it is far from being optimized. With each new mold, epoxy mold, epoxy mold compound, and lead-frame, lengthy period and expensive qualification runs have to be performed to minimized defects ranging from wire sweep, incomplete fill, and internal voids etc. This studies describes how simulation can be applied to transfer molding to yield acceptable design and processing parameter. The non-isothermal filling of non-newtonian reactive epoxy molding compound(;EMC) in a multi-cavity mold is analyzed. Sensitivity analysis is conducted to investigate the influence of process deviations on the final molded profile. This study trend is carried out by following some heuristic process guidelines.

Insulator systems using resin casting apparatus are useful to realize the high capacity, small size, and combined electric power equipments, and are expected to bring various advantages. In Korea, epoxy resin molded apparatus have been restricted to indoor uses till now. On the other hand, in Europe, molded insulators and transformers and so forth have been practically used since the former half of 1960's. Recently, investigation on epoxy resin materials and molded apparatus for outdoor use have ben intensively carried out. Probably, this is because electric power outdoor apparatus such as distribution transformer can be given multi-functions by using outdoor epoxy resin compound This study describes the trend on the development of epoxy mold transformers, and important technologies applied for outdoor use.

Copper-based leadframe sheets were oxidized in two kinds of hot alkaline solutions to form brown-oxide or black-oxide layer on the surface. The oxide coated leadframe sheets were molded with epoxy molding compound (EMC). After post mold curing, the oxide-coated EMC-leadframe joints were machined to form sandwiched Brazil-nut (SBN) specimens. The SBN specimens were used to measure the fracture toughness of the EMC/leadframe interfaces under mixed-mode (mode I + mode II) loading conditions. Fracture surfaces were analyzed by various equipment to investigate failure path. The results revealed that the failure paths were strongly dependent on the oxide type. In case of brown oxide, hackle-type failure was observed and failure path lay near the EMC/CuO interface with a little inclining to CuO at all case. On the other hand, in case of black oxide, quite different failure path was observed with respect to the distance from the tip of pre-crack and phase angle. Different failures occurred with oxide type is presumed to be due to the difference in microstructure of the oxides.

Copper-based leadframe sheets were immersed in two kinds of hot alkaline solutions to form brown-oxide or black-oxide layer on the surface. The oxide-coated leadframe sheets were molded with epoxy molding compound (EMC). After post mold curing, the oxide-coated EMC-leadframe joints were machined to form sandwiched double-cantilever beam (SDCB) specimens. The SDCB specimens were used to measure the fracture toughness of the EMC/leadframe interfaces under quasi-Mode I loading conditions. Fracture surfaces were analyzed by various equipment to investigate failure path. The present paper deals with the failure path, and the cause of the failure path formation with an adhesion model will be treated in the succeeding paper.

After fracture toughness testing, the fracture surface were analyzed by various equipment to investigate failure path. An adhesion model was suggested to explain the failure path formation. The adhesion model is based on the strengthening mechanism of fiber-reinforced composite. The present paper deals with the introduction of the adhesion model. The explanation of the failure path with the proposed adhesion model was introduced in the companion paper.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the exposure possibility of by-products during the semiconductor manufacturing processes. Methods: The authors investigated types of chemicals generated during semiconductor manufacturing processes by the qualitative experiment on generation of by-products at the laboratory and a literature survey. Results: By-products due to decomposition of photoresist by UV-light during the photo-lithography process, ionization of arsine during the ion implant process, and inter-reactions of chemicals used at diffusion and deposition processes can be generated in wafer fabrication line. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as benzene and formaldehyde can be generated during the mold process due to decomposition of epoxy molding compound and mold cleaner in semiconductor chip assembly line. Conclusions: Various types of by-products can be generated during the semiconductor manufacturing processes. Therefore, by-products carcinogen such as benzene, formaldehyde, and arsenic as well as chemical substances used during the semiconductor manufacturing processes should be controlled carefully.

For the mold die sticking mechanism, the major explanation is that the silica as a filler in EMC (epoxy molding compound) wears die surface to be roughened, which results in increase of adhesion strength. As the sticking behavior, however, showed strong dependency on the EMC models based on the experimental results from different semiconductor manufacturers, chemisorption or acid-base interaction is apt to be also functioning as major mechanisms. In this investigation, the plasma source ion implantation (PSII) using $O_2, N_2$, and $CF_4$ modifies sample surface to form a new dense layer and improve surface hardness, and change metal surface condition from hydrophilic to hydrophobic or vice versa. Through surface energy quantification by measuring contact angle and surface ion coupling state analysis by Auger, major governing mechanism for sticking issue was figured out to be a complex of mechanical and chemical factors.

최근 모바일 응용 제품에 사용되는 반도체 패키지는 고밀도, 초소형 및 다기능을 요구하고 있다. 기존의 웨이퍼 레벨 패키지(wafer level package, WLP)는 fan-in 형태로, I/O 단자가 많은 칩에 사용하기에는 한계가 있다. 따라서 팬 아웃 웨이퍼 레벨 패키지(fan-out wafer level package, FOWLP)가 새로운 기술로 부각되고 있다. FOWLP에서 가장 심각한 문제 중의 하나는 휨(warpage)의 발생으로, 이는 FOWLP의 두께가 기존 패키지에 비하여 얇고, 다이 레벨 패키지 보다 휨의 크기가 매우 크기 때문이다. 휨의 발생은 후속 공정의 수율 및 웨이퍼 핸들링에 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 FOWLP의 휨의 특성과 휨에 영향을 미치는 주요 인자에 대해서 수치해석을 이용하여 분석하였다. 휨을 최소화하기 위하여 여러 종류의 epoxy mold compound (EMC) 및 캐리어 재질을 사용하였을 경우에 대해서 휨의 크기를 비교하였다. 또한 FOWLP의 주요 공정인 EMC 몰딩 후, 그리고 캐리어 분리(detachment) 공정 후의 휨의 크기를 각각 해석하였다. 해석 결과, EMC 몰딩 후에 발생한 휨에 가장 영향을 미치는 인자는 EMC의 CTE이며, EMC의 CTE를 낮추거나 Tg(유리천이온도)를 높임으로서 휨을 감소시킬 수 있다. 캐리어 재질로는 Alloy42 재질이 가장 낮은 휨을 보였으며, 따라서 가격, 산화 문제, 열전달 문제를 고려하여 볼 때 Alloy 42 혹은 SUS 재질이 캐리어로서 적합할 것으로 판단된다.

Optical characteristics including the radiant flux and viewing angle of UV LEDs were investigated according to both silicone encapsulants with different refractive indexes and lens shapes. Lead frame was fabricated using the enhanced heat dissipation characteristics with a heat slug structure and the reflector based on EMC(Epoxy Mold Compound) material. Four types of lens shapes were designed and their optical characteristics depending on the refractive index of silicone encapsulants were evaluated. The maximum radiant flux can be achieved when the height of lens are 1.32mm and 1.08mm for silicone encapsulants with low and high refractive indexes, respectively. Depending on the encapsulating method, the viewing angle changes from $148.9^{\circ}$ to $130.2^{\circ}$ for low refractive index and from $145.3^{\circ}$ to $136.8^{\circ}$ for high refractive index. As a result, it is found that the optical characteristics of UV LEDs can be controled through both encapsulating method and the refractive index of encapsulants.
