The Problem with CTE
223D-ASIP 2016
Tool Holder: Material A
isolator
CTE = 3ppm/K
Issues:
• expansion on bottom: 13.5µ/15mm
• Loss of planarity
• Thermal stress
• life time issues
(cracks after >30.000 cycles)
Solution: controlled relative movements
80°C
380°C
Benefits:
• stays highly planar
• life time: >2 Mio cycles
Drawback
• CTE mismatch between nozzle
& tool holder (Si: CTE = 2.6 ppm/K)
• relative movements !!!
• 15 mm Si die: 11.7µ @ 300°C
• isolator: 2.7µ @ 300°C
Tool Holder: Material B+C

US Patent 6 651 866 B1US Patent 2014/0030052A1
Besi: Two approaches to
achieve co-planarity
better than +/-1µ@10mm
Why? - a picture says
more than 1000 words!
Challenge: small solder volume of micro bumps is not forgiving!

Co-planarity Auto Setup
253D-ASIP 2016
Automatic procedure for co-planarity setup
Target for tilt setup: +/- 1µ@10mm
Principle 1
implemented in
8800 TC & 8800 TC advanced
used for dynamic tilt
compensation
Co-planarity can be adjusted by
servo actuators
in spec!
26. Dec-2016
Co-planarity Auto Setup
263D-ASIP 2016
Target for tilt setup: +/- 0.5µ @ 10mm
Principle 2
More simple principle!
if dynamic tilt compensation
is not reqired!
Automatic procedure
a) spherical air bearing in bond head can be
switched from fixed to friction-less state
b) co-planarity is established while pressing
bond head to stage in friction-less state
c) after establishing co-planarity spherical
bearing is fixed
max 0.45µ

Further Essential
373D-ASIP 2016
Essential:
The control of each process variable
must be highly repeatable !
Keep in mind!
• There is no sensor which helps you how to do the
• thermal compensation (this is the current standard)
• The thermal compensation movement has to be identified
automatically and to be recalled from memory during bond
control
39. Dec-2016
• For 2.5D/3DI C2S, C2C and C2W TCB is fully established in HVM
packaging
• Essential for TCB yield are 3 core capabilities: accuracy, co-planarity
and bond control.
• Essential for TCB is to maintain high accuracy from a cold die position
to a hot die position during rapid temperature ramps (rapid means:
>300°C/s)
• Essential for TCB is to maintain high co-planarity during whole rapid
temperature transients (heating & cooling)
• Essential for TCB is a highly repeatable bond control, especially for
TC-CUF where BLT control of +/-1µ needs to be achieved
