Compulsory Project
• The Compulsory Projects were graded and will count
20%
• Compulsory means compulsory – project report must
be submitted and oral presentation must be given,
and grading A, B,C,D or E necessary for final exam
admission.
• SMD Circuit Design, Production and Testing are
important for the course and should be understood
and learned
– Questions usually given to check that all students in each
group have worked with the project and understood and

Chapter 1 Introduction: Electronic products,
technologies and packaging
• Definition of ELECTRONIC PACKAGING:
–"The realization of the physical, electronic
system, starting with block-/circuit
diagram”
• Involves choice of technology for
implementation, choice of materials, detailed
design in chosen technology, analysis of
electrical and thermal properties, reliability.
• This definition is one among many, and may
shift as the field is further developed.

Slide 15
TECHNOLOGY TRENDS
• The development in semiconductor technology makes
ever more advanced electronic systems possible. Some
important trends for the systems development are:
– Smaller critical dimensions, i.e. line widths and distances on the
IC and module/PCB.
– Increasing packaging density, i.e. more and more electric
functions are possible to implement in a given area or volume
– Increasing maximum operating frequency/bit rate
– Increasing power dissipated per unit area and -volume
– Increased possibility to realise complex circuit functions with
standard hardware by programming software
– Ever lower price per electrical function
Electronic Pack….. Summary
Slide 16
Technology Trends, continued
• The established technology cannot satisfy the needs and
requirements, and new technology always appears. It seems as if
we hit physical limits on many fronts.
• However, earlier, when such limits have appeared, new ideas and
new principles have been found.
• This will probably also happen in the future and will make the field
of microelectronics dynamic and exciting in the future, for
scientists as well as for users.

Etching of silicon
An Introduction to MEMs Engineering - Nadim Maluf and Kirt Williams
• Anisotropy - directionally dependent
• Isotropy - identical properties in all directions
80
Surface Micromachining
• A set of methods to make three-dimensional surface
structures, with deposition of thin films as additive technique
and selective etching of the deposited thin films as subtractive
techniques.
• In practice, single crystal silicon wafer is the dominant
substrate material, and chemical vapor deposited (CVD)
polysilicon is mostly used as the material making up the
three-dimensional surface structures.

Understanding Anisotropic Underetching
• Anisotropic underetching of mask openings
nonparallel with <110> direction, and
anisotropic underetching of convex corners.
• (a) is a typical pyramidal pit, bounded by the
(111) planes, etched into silicon with an
anisotropic etch through a square hole in an
oxide mask.
• (b) is a type of pit which is expected from
anisotropic etch with a slow convex undercut
rate.
• (c) is the same mask pattern resulting in an
substantial degree of undercutting using an
etchant with a fast undercut rate such as
EDP.
• In (d), further etching of (c) produces a
cantilever beam suspended over the pit.
• (e) is an illustration of the general rule for
anisotropic etch undercutting assuming a
"sufficiently long" etching time. The reader
who understands (e) has understood the main
principles.

Slide 82
Electrochemical Selective Etching of
Silicon
• Low-doped material can be
passivated, both p-type and n-type.
This gives more processing
flexibility, and low-doped silicon can
be used as substrate material for
integrated components such as
piezoresistors.
• High accuracy of thickness of
unetched layer can be achieved,
typical ±1micrometer, by using wellcontrolled implantation and
diffusion techniques for making the
p-n- junction.
• This method makes KOH a useful
selective etch, avoiding the health
dangers of EDP-etch.

Adhesives
• Understand the difference between adhesive and cohesive

Electronic Pack….. Summary
Slide 87
Adhesives
• Thermoset adhesives
– Do not melt upon heating
– Forms links or chemical bonds between adjacent chains,
during curing (intra-molecular bonds)
– Three dimensional rigid network
– Properties depend on the molecular units, and the length
and the density of the cross-links
– Thermosetting resins are usually isotropic
– Mostly epoxies, silicones, urethanes
Electronic Pack….. Summary
Slide 88
Adhesives
• Adhesive as underfill
– Bump lifetime under thermal
cycling decreases with
induced strain
– Bumps without underfill:
– CTE mismatch => cyclic
shear strain
– Crack growth
– Bumps with underfill
– Strain reduction
– Lifetime increase 10X

Slide 89
Adhesives
• Anisotropic Conductive Adhesive
– The adhesive film is applied uniformly
– Pressure is applied during curing,
giving conduction only between pads
– Thermoplastic or thermosetting
– Film (tape) or paste
– Monodispersive spheres can be used

Green electronics
• Life Cycle Perspective
– The environmental
impacts in the different
stages in a products
lifecycle are generated e.g.
from :
• Inputs like energy
and raw materials
• Outputs like
emissions to earth, air
and water
• Production of solid
waste
• Problems with the
occupationalhealth and
safety

Slide 91
RoHS – in brief
• The RoHS Regulations ban the placing on the EU market of new Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (EEE) containing more than the set levels of lead,
cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium and both polybrominated
biphenyl (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants
from 1 July 2006. There are a number of exempted applications for these
substances.
• Manufacturers will need to ensure that their products - and the components of
such products - comply with the requirements of the Regulations by the relevant
date in order to be placed on the Single Market. The Regulations will also have an
impact on those who import EEE into the European Union on a professional
basis, those who export to other Member States and those who rebrand other
manufacturers’ EEE as their own.
• These Regulations do not affect the application of existing legal requirements for
EEE, including those regarding safety, the protection of health, existing transport
requirements or provisions on hazardous waste. In other words, existing
legislation on EEE and hazardous substances must also be complied with.
Electronic Pack….. Summary
Slide 92
Legislation
• EEE has the authorities' attention, primarily because of the rising amounts of
waste and the connected disposal problems.
• This is the reason why since the beginning of the nineties there has been an
ongoing work on legislation in this field, starting in Germany, Denmark, The
Netherlands, Sweden and Norway, as well as on the EU-scale.
• The regulations are primarily concerned with:
– establishing collection systems and securing correct handling of waste, which
means recycling and regaining of resources
– safe separation and disposal of environmental hazardous parts
– certain hazardous substances, which will either be banned or restricted in use
• The regulations also introduces a producer responsibility for the disposal, and
demands information from the producer to the recycler about e.g. the content of
environmentally hazardous parts and possibilities for recycling.

End of Summary
• Use this summary lecture as a guideline to what is considered the most
important parts of the course syllabus.
• Look at earlier exam tests and guides to get a feeling of the kind of
questions that will be asked.
• Get the basic overview, and know the differences between the different
technologies («Getting a C grade»)
– For instance, do not wrongly describe the process technology asked for by
intermixing it with another technology – for instance know the differences
between thick film technology and thin film technology.
• Then, start to learn and understand the finer details to be able to show
you have a deep knowledge of the syllabus («Going for the A grade»)
• An understanding of work done in the Compulsory Project is
expected, and highly probable a part of the Final Exam! (Active group
membership will be hounoured – passivity punished)
• Good luck with your Examination Test, and thank you for
attending this course!
