Undetected Pressure Variations in Flip Chip Assembly Reduce Yields and Raise Costs
Undetected bonding pressure variations can result in poor or open flip chip connections, reducing yield and long-term reliability while raising costs. Maintaining a uniform distribution of bonding pressure across a flip chip die assures chip to substrate coplanarity, optimal bump compression, and a controlled, reproducible die to substrate gap. Pressurex pressure indicating sensor film is a valuable assist to today’s flip chip bonders which l...
