It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.
[0050] In one embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, the present application provides an encapsulation process reliability evaluation method, including step 102-step 112.
[0051] Step 102, obtaining a plurality of device samples; the device samples are integrated circuits encapsulated by the encapsulation process to be evaluated.
[0052] The encapsulation process to be evaluated is the evaluation object of the encapsulation process reliability evaluation provided by the present application. The semiconductor structure can be first encapsulated by the encapsulation process to be evaluated, and the reliability of the encapsulation process to be evaluated can be evaluated by testing the encapsulated integrated circuit.

The failure sites that are prone to failure during integrated circuit encapsulation are the bonding area and the encapsulation area. Among them, for the hermetic encapsulation process, the failure modes of the bonding area are manifested as open leads, high impedance state, shorted leads, intermittent conduction of leads, chip detachment, etc., and the failure modes of the encapsulation area are manifested as aluminum film corrosion, open or short circuit of metal interconnections, chip cracks, etc. For the plastic encapsulation process, the failure modes of the bonding area are manifested as open leads, high impedance state, intermittent conduction of leads, chip detachment, etc., and the failure modes of the encapsulation area are manifested as aluminum film corrosion, open or short circuit of metal interconnections, damage to the chip by the encapsulation material, etc.

[0056]
[0057] The principles of the above-mentioned failure modes occurring in integrated circuit packaging are shown in Table 2. For hermetic packaging processes, the main mechanisms causing bonding area failures are: (1) poor bonding, (2) intermetallic compound growth and the generation of Kirkendall voids at the bonding interface, (3) adhesion fatigue, etc. The main mechanisms causing package area failures are: (1) surface leakage due to poor sealing, open or short circuits caused by corrosion of metal interconnects, (2) cracking of the ceramic base cover, resulting in surface leakage, open or short circuits caused by corrosion of metal interconnects, (3) thermal stress causing cracks in the package case, cracks at the lead seals, and damage to the solder layer, etc. For plastic packaging processes, the main mechanisms causing bonding area failures are: (1) poor bonding, (2) intermetallic compound growth and the generation of Kirkendall voids at the bonding interface, (3) adhesion fatigue, (4) open circuit due to pad corrosion, etc. The main mechanisms causing package area failures are: (1) voids in the package, resulting in poor heat dissipation, (2) popcorning effect caused by moisture, (3) open or short circuits caused by corrosion of metal interconnects due to moisture, (4) solder joint short circuits, etc.
[0058] Table 2 - Failure Mechanisms of Failures Occurring in Integrated Circuit Packaging
[0059]
[0060] For the above-mentioned failure mechanisms, different tests need to be set up to evaluate the reliability of the packaging process to be evaluated. Therefore, multiple device samples need to be divided into multiple portions.
[0061] Step 106, conduct a bonding lead evaluation test on the first group of device samples to obtain the first group of test results; the bonding lead evaluation is used to evaluate the reliability of the bonding leads in the device samples.
[0062] Step 108, conduct an electrochemical corrosion evaluation test on the second group of device samples to obtain the second group of test results; the electrochemical corrosion evaluation test is used to evaluate the electrochemical corrosion resistance of the device samples.
[0063] Step 110, conduct a solder joint evaluation test on the third group of device samples to obtain the third group of test results; the solder joint evaluation test is used to evaluate the solder joint reliability of the device samples.
[0064] Step 112, determine the reliability of the packaging process to be evaluated based on the first group of test results, the second group of test results, and the third group of test results.
[0065] Specifically, when the device samples pass the bonding lead evaluation test, the electrochemical corrosion evaluation test, and the solder joint evaluation test respectively, it can be considered that the reliability of the packaging process to be evaluated is high.
[0066] In the embodiments of the present application, by grouping multiple device samples, multiple groups of tests are designed based on the failure mechanisms of the failure modes that are prone to occur in the packaging process, and the device samples in different groups are tested respectively. The reliability of the packaging process to be evaluated is determined according to the results of multiple groups of tests, which also provides technical support for the QML (Qualified manufacturer listing) packaging certification of semiconductor integrated circuits. That is, when the integrated circuits packaged by the packaging process to be evaluated all pass the bonding wire evaluation test, the electrochemical corrosion evaluation test, and the solder joint evaluation test, the packaging process to be evaluated can be included in the QML.
[0067] In one embodiment, the first test result includes the internal moisture content, the bonding strength of the bonding wire, and the cross-sectional shape of the bonding wire of the device sample.
[0068] Perform a bonding wire evaluation test on the first group of device samples to obtain the first group of test results, including, in the case where the packaging process to be evaluated includes an airtight packaging process, performing an appearance inspection on the device samples to obtain defect-free device samples, and after placing the device samples at a first preset temperature for a first preset time, obtaining the internal moisture content, the bonding strength of the bonding wire, and the cross-sectional shape of the bonding wire of the device samples.
[0069] For the airtight packaging process, gold wire is currently commonly used as the bonding wire. The failure mechanism of the bonding wire is as follows: In the early stage of bonding, a very thin diffusion layer is formed between Au and Al, and its composition is AuAl2 (purple spot); further heating causes the Au-Al diffusion to continue. As Au continuously diffuses into the Al film, the pure Al layer disappears; at the same time, a Au5Al2 compound layer is formed on the side of the Au wire ball, forming Kirkendall voids, and the contact resistance of the bonding wire increases; under high-temperature environmental conditions, as the Kirkendall voids expand, the contact area between the bonding wire and the pad decreases, and finally the bonding wire solder joint is de-soldered and open-circuited, and finally fails. Based on the fact that the generation of the gold-aluminum compound is related to temperature, therefore, the bonding wire evaluation test mainly observes the tensile force and physical morphology of the bonding wire of the device sample after the high-temperature test.
[0070] Specifically, first perform an appearance inspection on the device samples. The device samples can be inspected under a magnifying glass with a magnification of 1.5 to 10 times to observe whether there are obvious appearance defects in the device samples, such as unclear marking signs, obvious secondary coating materials in the sealing area, and whether there are obvious structural defects. Defect-free device samples can be screened out through the appearance inspection. Place the screened device samples at a first preset temperature for a first preset time. Among them, the first preset temperature can be 125 °C, and the first preset time can be 1000 h.
[0071] After that, some device samples can be sampled from the first group of device samples for internal water vapor content testing. Specifically, the sampled device samples can be baked in an environment of 100±5 degrees Celsius until the background pressure reaches a level that does not interfere with the specified measurement accuracy and sensitivity, and a mass spectrometer can be used to measure the internal water content of the device samples. After the internal water vapor content test, the bond strength test is then carried out on the sampled device samples to obtain the tensile force when the bonding wire fails, and the wire bond strength is determined according to the tensile force. Finally, the wire profile is obtained through an electron beam to observe whether there are voids at the bonding interface.
[0072] In the embodiment of the present application, in the case where the packaging process to be evaluated includes an airtight packaging process, by performing an appearance inspection on the device samples to obtain defect-free device samples, and after placing the device samples at a first preset temperature for a first preset time, obtaining the internal water vapor content, wire bond strength, and wire profile of the device samples, the reliability of the bonding wires encapsulated by the packaging process to be evaluated can be determined according to the internal water vapor content, wire bond strength, and wire profile.
[0073] In one embodiment, the first test result includes the wire bond strength.
[0074] For the bonding wire evaluation test on the first group of device samples, to obtain the first group of test results, including in the case where the packaging process to be evaluated includes a plastic packaging process, after placing the device samples at a first preset humidity and a second preset temperature for a second preset time, the step of obtaining the wire bond strength of the device samples is included.
[0075] For an integrated circuit encapsulated by a plastic packaging process, when moisture reaches the chip surface, a conductive water film will form on the chip surface. At the same time, in the presence of impurity ions Cl - , K + , P 4+ etc. in the packaging material, the following reactions occur:
[0076] 2Al + 6HCl → 2AlCl3 + 3H2↑
[0077] Al + 3Cl – → AlCl3 + 3e –
[0078] AlCl3 + 3H2O → Al(OH)3 + 3HCl
[0079] Al + NaO + H2O → NaAlO2 + 3 / 2H2↑
[0080] Al + 3OH – → Al(OH)3 + 3e –
[0081] 2Al(OH)3 → Al2O3 + 3H2O
[0082] 2AlO2 – + 2H + → Al2O3 + H2O
[0083] This leads to corrosion inside the device. Therefore, the first group of device samples are placed at the first preset humidity and the second preset temperature for the second preset time, and it is checked whether the device samples will corrode in the damp heat environment. Among them, the first preset humidity can be 85%RH, the second preset temperature can be 85 degrees Celsius, the second preset time can be 1000h, and the number of the first group of device samples is greater than or equal to 3.
[0084] After the first group of device samples are placed at the first preset humidity and the second preset temperature for the second preset time, a bonding strength test is performed on the device samples, the tensile force when the leads of the device samples fail is tested, and the lead bonding strength is determined according to the tensile force, so that the reliability of the bonding leads encapsulated by the packaging process to be evaluated can be determined.
[0085] In one embodiment, the test results of the second group include the lead bonding strength.
[0086] An electrochemical corrosion evaluation test is performed on the second group of device samples to obtain the test results of the second group, including steps 202 - step 206.
[0087] Step 202, place the device samples at the second preset humidity and the third preset temperature for the third preset time.
[0088] Among them, the second preset humidity can be 85%RH, the third preset temperature can be 85 degrees Celsius, and the third preset time can be 1000h.
[0089] Step 204, determine the test method for the bonding strength test according to the lead bonding method in the packaging process to be evaluated.
[0090] The lead bonding methods include thermocompression bonding, ultrasonic bonding, flip chip bonding, and beam lead. For thermocompression bonding and ultrasonic bonding, the test method is a tensile test. For flip chip bonding, the test method is a bonding shear force test. For beam lead, the test method is a push test or a pull test.
[0091] Step 206, perform a bonding strength test on the device samples according to the test method to obtain the lead bonding strength.
[0092] Whether for the hermetic packaging process or the plastic packaging process, the metal inside the device will be corroded due to the influence of the surrounding humid atmosphere and the water vapor inside the cavity. By placing the device sample in a damp heat environment for a third preset time and selecting the corresponding test method according to the wire bonding method to obtain the wire bonding strength, the test of the anti-electrochemical corrosion ability of the device sample packaged by the packaging process to be evaluated can be realized.
[0093] In one embodiment, the test results of the third group include the solder joint impedance.
[0094] Perform a solder joint evaluation test on the device samples of the third group to obtain the test results of the third group, including the steps of sending a test electrical signal to the device sample, correspondingly obtaining the reflected electrical signal, and obtaining the solder joint impedance of each solder joint in the device sample according to the test electrical signal and the reflected electrical signal.
[0095] The test electrical signal can be a pulse signal or a step signal. By sending an electrical signal into the transmission path, when there is an impedance change in the transmission path, part of the energy will be reflected and the rest of the energy will continue to be transmitted. When the amplitude of the transmitted wave is known and the amplitude of the reflected wave is measured, the impedance change in the path can be calculated. And by measuring the time difference between the transmitted wave and the reflected wave returning to the transmitting point, the phase of the impedance change can also be calculated. Therefore, the solder joint impedance of each solder joint in the device sample can be obtained by sending a test electrical signal to the device sample, obtaining the corresponding reflected electrical signal, and according to the test electrical signal and the reflected electrical signal:
[0096] Z = Z ref (1 + ρ) / (1 - ρ),
[0097] where ρ is the reflection coefficient, ρ = V reflected / V incident ; V incident is the amplitude of the test electrical signal, V reflected is the amplitude of the reflected electrical signal.
[0098] As Figure 3 shown in the above formula, when ρ = 1, the impedance at the position to be measured is ∞, and the solder joint is open. When ρ = -1, the impedance at the position to be measured is 0, indicating that the solder joint is short-circuited.
[0099] In some embodiments, the solder joint impedance can be obtained by a TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry) network analyzer.
[0100] In this embodiment, by performing a solder joint evaluation test on the device samples of the third group to obtain the solder joint impedance of each solder joint in the device sample, it is possible to judge whether there are cases of solder joint voids, open solder joints or short-circuited solder joints inside the device sample, and realize the reliability judgment of the solder joint connection.
[0101] In one embodiment, when the encapsulation process to be evaluated includes a plastic encapsulation process, a delamination test of plastic encapsulated devices is performed on the fourth group of device samples to obtain the test results of the fourth group. The fourth group of tests is used to evaluate the reliability of the plastic encapsulant in the device samples. The test results of the fourth group include the delamination condition of the plastic encapsulant in the device samples.
[0102] Correspondingly, determining the reliability of the encapsulation process to be evaluated based on the test results of the first group, the second group, and the third group includes the step of determining the reliability of the encapsulation process to be evaluated based on the test results of the first group, the second group, the third group, and the fourth group.
[0103] For an integrated circuit encapsulated with a plastic encapsulation process, another failure mode that easily occurs is delamination of the plastic encapsulant. Therefore, the device samples can be divided into at least four groups, and a delamination test of plastic encapsulated devices is performed on the fourth group of device samples to observe the delamination condition of the plastic encapsulant.
[0104] Specifically, the device samples can be sequentially subjected to highly accelerated stress testing, moisture sensitivity testing, temperature cycling testing, and autoclave testing to obtain ultrasonic detection images of the device samples. Then, based on the ultrasonic detection images, the delamination condition of the plastic encapsulant in the device samples is determined.
[0105] Highly Accelerated Temperature And Humidity Stress Testing (HAST) is a test method for accelerating the aging of products by applying high temperature, high humidity, and high pressure to the samples. The temperature of the highly accelerated stress testing can be 130 °C, the humidity can be 85%RH, and the test time can be 500 h.
[0106] Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): First, the device samples are placed in an environment of 30 °C and 65%RH for 168 hours, and then subjected to three reflow soldering tests. The temperature of the reflow soldering test is 219 °C.
[0107] Temperature Cycling: The device samples are placed in an environmental chamber, and the temperature of the environmental chamber is changed from -65 °C to 150 °C, and then from 150 °C to -65 °C, for 1000 cycles.
[0108] Autoclave testing: The device samples are placed in a high-temperature and high-pressure environment of 121 °C and 15 ± 1 psig for 168 hours.
[0109] In this embodiment, high-accelerated stress tests, humidity sensitivity tests, temperature cycle tests, and high-pressure cooking tests can be sequentially performed on device samples. An ultrasonic detection image of the device samples after the high-pressure cooking test is obtained by ultrasonic detection. Whether delamination occurs in the encapsulant is observed based on the ultrasonic detection image. If there is delamination, it indicates that the reliability of the encapsulant is low.
[0110] It should be understood that although the steps in the flowcharts involved in the above-described embodiments are sequentially shown according to the arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless there is a clear indication in this article, the execution of these steps has no strict order limit, and these steps can be executed in other orders. Moreover, at least a part of the steps in the flowcharts involved in the above-described embodiments may include multiple steps or multiple stages. These steps or stages are not necessarily executed at the same moment, but can be executed at different moments. The execution order of these steps or stages is not necessarily sequential, but can be executed alternately or in turn with at least a part of other steps or steps or stages in other steps.
