Failure Analysis of Die Bond Adhesion Failures Caused by Silicone Contamination
From ors-labs.com
This paper presents a case history of a failure analysis performed on a die bond adhesion failures. Silicone contamination caused intermittent adhesive failures at the die back metallization/conductive epoxy interface. The source of the silicone contamination was identified as the adhesive film used to mount the wafer during the die sawing operation. The analytical equipment and methodology used to determine the failure mechanism are described. Auger Electron Spectroscopy and X-ray Photoelectron spectroscopy are used to identify the elements and their chemical states on the die bonding surfaces. The wafer mounting film is analyzed by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. A process related failure in conductive die attach systems is described and corrective actions are presented. This analytical approach can be extended to other epoxy attach materials systems.
