Figure 4.13: Acoustic return signals from a bonded interface and at a delaminated<br />

interface (dashed) [24]<br />

In Figure 4.13, <strong>the</strong> first signal (not dashed) at <strong>the</strong> front surface is more as <strong>the</strong> two<br />

materials that makes <strong>the</strong> interface are air and solid (package material). After 1<br />

microsecond, <strong>the</strong> waves from <strong>the</strong> die interface (inside <strong>the</strong> package) are reflected. The<br />

reflected waves are moderate. Now, if we consider <strong>the</strong> second signal (dashed), at <strong>the</strong><br />

front surface <strong>the</strong> signal is high due to <strong>the</strong> same reason as for <strong>the</strong> first signal (not dashed).<br />

But <strong>the</strong> waves reflected from <strong>the</strong> die interface are higher than <strong>the</strong> first case indicating<br />

presence <strong>of</strong> air inside <strong>the</strong> package. The dashed signal is an example for delaminated<br />

interface inside <strong>the</strong> package.<br />

In order to examine an interested interface, an electronic gate can be set so that <strong>the</strong><br />

images that are produced are based on <strong>the</strong> particular interface. This is done by setting <strong>the</strong><br />

gate to a specific period <strong>of</strong> time in <strong>the</strong> return signals plot in <strong>the</strong> PC attached to <strong>the</strong><br />

Sonoscan Gen5 equipment. The electronic gating for a flip chip unit is set for <strong>the</strong> chip to<br />

bump interface and underfill to substrate interfaces.<br />
