Investigation Of The Fluid/Structure Interaction In Moulded Underfill Process
The rapid development of portable electronic devices, such as iPad, iPhone, iPod, and laptop, propels the integrated circuit (IC) packaging technology toward miniaturization characterized by high capacity and compactness of IC package. The scaling down of IC package size has given challenges to the engineers and IC designers in maintaining package reliability. In moulded underfill (MUF) process, the interaction between fluid (EMC) and structure (silicon chip and solder bump) yields unintended deformation and stress that may cause defects and reduce package reliability. Thus, the understanding of the FSI phenomenon is essential for the engineers and IC designers to tackle these problems. Therefore, the MUF process considering FSI aspect was the focus of this research. The FSI simulation was performed by finite volume based (FLUENT) and finite element based (ABAQUS) software through the MpCCI coupling technique for the simultaneous analysis. The capability of the software in handling encapsulation problems was examined by comparing the predicted results with previous scholars’ works and the current scaled-up MUF encapsulation processes. The scaled-up MUF encapsulation processes were fabricated in transparent for better visualization of FSI phenomenon, flow and void formation mechanisms. In the simulation, the Castro-Macosko viscosity model was written into UDFs to describe the EMC fluid behaviour. The accurateness of the UDFs has been proven excellent in modelling the rheological fluid behaviour during the encapsulation process
CFD Simulation Of Underfill Encapsulation Process In Flip Chip Packaging With Various Dispensing Methods
The major trend in electronic industry is to make the products smarter, lighter, functional and highly compact, at the same time cheaper. This trend has necessitated
stringent packaging requirements and the flip-chip technology has emerged as a promising option to tackle this issue. However, a serious issue in flip-chip packaging is the difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion between the silicon chip and the organic substrate, which generates thermo-mechanical stresses and causes fatigue
in solder joints. This problem is effectively solved by the underfill process in which
the space between the silicon die and the PCB is filled with the underfill encapsulant
that redistributes the induced stresses thereby enhancing the solder joints reliability
Plastic Ball Grid Array Encapsulation Process Simulation on Rheology Effect
The integrated circuit should be encapsulated for protection from their intended environment. This paper presents the flow visualization of the plastic ball grid array (PBGA) chip encapsulation process considering of the rheology effect. In the molding process, encapsulant flow behavior is modeled by Castro-Macosko viscosity model with considering curing effect and volume of fluid technique is applied for melt front tracking. The viscosity model is written into C language and compiled using User-Defined Functions into the FLUENT analysis. Three types of Epoxy Molding Compound namely case 1, 2, and 3 were utilized for the study of fluid flow inside the mold cavity. The melt front profiles and viscosity versus shear rate for all cases are analyzed and presented. The numerical results are compared with the previous experimental results and found in good conformity. In the present study, case 1 with greater viscosity shows the higher air trap and higher pressure distributions.

Replication and Meta-analysis of the Association between BDNF Val66Met Polymorphism and Cognitive Impairment in Patients Receiving Chemotherapy.
Cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) adversely affects cancer patients. We had previously demonstrated that the BDNF Val66Met genetic polymorphism is associated with lower odds of subjective CRCI in the multitasking and verbal ability domains among breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. To further assess our previous findings, we evaluated the association of BDNF Val66Met polymorphism with subjective and objective CRCI in a temporally separate cohort of patients and pooled findings from both the original (n = 145) and current (n = 193) cohorts in a meta-analysis. Subjective CRCI was assessed using FACT-Cog. Objective CRCI was evaluated using computerized neuropsychological tests. Genotyping was carried out using Sanger sequencing. The association of BDNF Val66Met genotypes and CRCI was examined with logistic regression. A fixed-effect meta-analysis was conducted using the inverse variance method. In the meta-analysis (n = 338), significantly lower odds of CRCI were associated with Met allele carriers based on the global FACT-Cog score (OR = 0.52, 95% CI 0.29-0.94). Furthermore, Met allele carriers were at lower odds of developing impairment in the domains of memory (OR = 0.34, 95% CI: 0.17-0.70), multitasking (OR = 0.33, 95% CI: 0.18-0.59), and verbal ability (OR = 0.46, 95% CI: 0.24-0.88). Consistent with the previous study, lower odds of subjective CRCI among patients with the BDNF Met allele was observed after adjusting for potential confounders in the multitasking (OR = 0.30, 95% CI: 0.14-0.67) domain. In conclusion, carriers of the BDNF Met allele were protected against global subjective CRCI, particularly in the domains of memory, multitasking, and verbal ability. Our findings further contribute to the understanding of CRCI pathophysiology
Modelling and analysis of the effect of stacking chips with TSVs in 3D IC package encapsulation process
This paper presents the modelling and analysis of the encapsulation processfor three-dimensional (3D) stacking-chip package with through-silicon via (TSV)integration. The fluid-structure interaction of the 3D stacking-chip package encapsulationwas modelled by finite volume and finite element codes, which were solved separately.The effect of the increase in the number of stacking chips was analysed. The visualisationof the 3D stacking-chip package encapsulation process was presented at different fillingtimes. The void formation around the stacking chips was identified for each case. Thedisplacement and von Mises stress for the copper through-silicon vias were determined.The use of designed inlet-outlet heights in the integrated circuit package maintained thefilling time of the encapsulation process and reduced the void of the packages as thenumber of stacking chips increased. The encapsulation model facilitated a clearvisualisation and enhanced fundamental understanding of the design of a 3D integratedcircuit encapsulation. The proposed analysis is expected to be a reference and guide inthe design and improvement of 3D integration packages
