TUTORIAL
Wafer Level Packaging--Materials, Process, and Reliability
Monday March 28, 2005
1:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Room 2004 (Moscone West)

Wafer-Level Packaging (WLP) has gained momentum in the small chip arena, driven by needs for cost reduction, form-factor shrinkage, and enhanced performance. Advantages in performing burn-in and test at the wafer level will lower the IC cost and resolve the known good die (KGD) issues that are concerns to the electronic industry. WLP will merge the front-end IC fabrication with the back-end discrete packaging, and provide a paradigm shift in the electronic packaging industry. This course will provide an overview of the recent advances on WLP, the advantages and challenges in term of materials (conventional polymers as well as nanofunctional materials), processes (with ultra fine pitch flip chip interconnects), and reliability in this new packaging technologies.

COURSE OUTLINE:
* Overview of Electronic Packaging: Present and Future Trends
* Definition of Wafer-Level Packaging
* Market Drivers for WLP
* Overview of Various WLP Configurations and Process Techniques in the Industry
* Barriers and Challenges with WLP Technologies
* Fundamentals of Polymers and their Physical and Mechanical Properties and Measurements
* Overview of Inorganic and Organic Polymers for Electronic Packaging
- Silicon Dioxides, Nitrides & Oxynitrides
- Epoxies, Silicones, Polyimides, Silicone-Polyimides, Polyurethanes
- Benzocyclobutenes, Parylenes, BT Resins, Sycars, Polyesters, High Temperature &
Liquid-Crystal Polymers, Low-k, Low Loss and Nanofunctional and Foam Materials.
* Recent Advances on Low Cost Flip Chip: Materials, Processes, and Reliability
* Lead-free Interconnect Alternative Materials- Electrically Conductive Adhesives
* Next Generation WLPs

This tutorial will be of interest to engineers, scientists, and managers involved in the design, process, and manufacturing of IC electronic components, modules, and hybrid packaging, as well as electronic material suppliers involved in materials manufacturing and research & development.
