March Plasma Systems Presents on Advanced Plasma Processes for Improving Underfill Performance in Flip Chip Packages
Concord , CA, June, 2006 – March Plasma Systems announced today that it will present a technical paper and presentation entitled "Plasma for Underfill Process in Flip Chip Packaging" at the upcoming IMAPS Taiwan 2006 Technical Symposium & Exhibition, scheduled for June 29 - July 1, 2006 at the Taipei World Trade Center, Taipei, Taiwan.
"Performance of the underfill material in Flip Chip-type devices can be greatly enhanced in a number of ways by using advanced plasma treatments," said Dr. James Getty, Director of Applications at March. "For example, plasma processing can eliminate underfill voids, increase the wicking speed of the underfill fluid for higher throughput, reduce delamination, and improve the adhesion of the underfill material to the chip, bumps and substrate. These performance improvements result in a device that is more reliable, has higher yield, and fewer defects."
Dr. Getty continues, "It is not an understatement to say our customers in the advanced semiconductor assembly and packaging industry are keenly interested in achieving these kinds of underfill performance enhancements in their device manufacturing processes. Our advanced plasma technology enables these critical improvements for our customers."
We hope you will be able to attend the presentation in Taiwan. After the symposium, the paper will be available on-line or by contacting March Plasma Systems.
