CHAPTER 5<br />

PROCEDURE<br />

5.1 Pre-engineering <strong>Qualification</strong> Phase I<br />

The purpose <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> non-functional units to qualify <strong>the</strong> materials – underfill material and<br />

solder flux. The units were subjected to <strong>the</strong> following procedure.<br />

5.1.1.1 Time zero CSAM<br />

All devices are subjected to visual inspection and CSAM analysis. This is done to<br />

establish a baseline for <strong>the</strong> die crack/internal delamination criteria.<br />

5.1.1.2 MSL3 Pre-conditioning<br />

Temperature cycling<br />

The units go through 5 temperature cycles (JEDEC condition B or condition C). This step<br />

simulates shipping conditions.<br />

Bake<br />

The units are subjected to 24 hours dry baking at 125 deg C. This ensures that <strong>the</strong><br />

moisture from <strong>the</strong> package is removed and <strong>the</strong> package is “dry”.<br />

Moisture soak<br />

Within two hours <strong>of</strong> dry bake, <strong>the</strong> units are soaked in moisture for 196 hours. This step<br />

saturates <strong>the</strong> package with moisture and defines <strong>the</strong> level-3 pre-conditioning.<br />

Reflow<br />

Three passes <strong>of</strong> Solder reflow is done on <strong>the</strong> units. This step simulates <strong>the</strong> procedure <strong>of</strong><br />

mounting <strong>the</strong> device on <strong>the</strong> board by <strong>the</strong> customers.<br />
