K&S Thin Die Pick Technology - Machine Architecture

Equipment Architecture Moving Bond Vision Fixed Transfer Vision

Key Benefits for Thin Die Handling:  Process Performance & Flexibility  Optimized pick & place tooling design

 Highest Throughput  Long pick times for high-end DAF/FOW app‘s are „hidden“ behind bond process through parallel die handling

Indexer Fixed Pick Vision

 Process Stability  „Cold“ pick process while bonding @ high temperatures Die Ejector

Equipment Architecture = Process Flexibility  Pick Tool – Many big holes = Strong pick

 Multi-hole tools optimized for pick yield

Separated PTP architecture allows for optimized pick & place processes!

 Transfer Tool – High Accuracy

 Transfer tool designed for highly accurate handover process  Vacuum holes location optimized to prevent “potato chip effect” on thin die for reliable vision Tool has “self cleaning” effect and lowest surface energy – optimized for WBL/FOW handling

 Place Tool – No Voids  Tool optimized to eliminates voiding

(Thin) Die Handling Process Control Transfer Force Repeatability at 0.8N Over 1 Hour Production at 4500 UPH

iStack’s Tool Impact, Force & Position Control for Minimum Stress on the Die:  Tool impacts at user adjustable constant velocity  Tool impacts are automatically detected and adjusted during each machine cycle



0.1 0 -0.1

s = 0.008N, Range = ±0.03N

-0.2 -0.3

Force Control:

0

 Force is generated by linear motors (spring-less) with auto calibrated current loops  Highest force repeatability through closed loop current control



Deviation from 0.8N

Tool Impact Control:

0.2

Position Control:  Dies are positioned and handed over between tools within 1.5µm (sigma), implying zero shear stress during pick and handover  Drifts are eliminated through “Dynamic Calibration” during production

K&S Thin Die Pick Tools Seal Lip Pick Tool maintains vacuum between tool and thin die if the die deforms:  

Strengthens grip and adds stiffness to the die  Increases pick-up yield Avoids stress due to pressure difference between atmospheric pressure and ejector vacuum  Reduces die bending

K&S technique:

 Full Die image @ 30µm/pix  Technically NOT possible to

  0.6µm/pixel  very small FOV  Hard to tell Edge from Cracks  Needs multi-image scanning

 Full Die image at 60µm/pixel resolution  Special illumination technique  High resolution NOT required even for 1µm crack

Thin Die Technology – Conclusion / Roadmap

Conclusion / Roadmap Conclusion 

Production proven ‘Best in Class’ Thin Die Handling



Demonstrated Unique Crack Detection Capability

Roadmap - Extension of Current Thin Die Technology to Advanced Packages





Background 

TSVs will create different stress distribution in thin die.



Thinner Die  easier Via manufacturability  smaller possible Via  (aspect ratio Via depth/)



Pillars are not touchable. Changed Pickup Tool geometry  different stress distribution.

We will enhance existing technology for thinnest possible TSV / Copper Pillar Die. 

Verification on suitability of existing thin die technology is started



Reduce inner stress on TSV and Copper Pillar Dice with FEA models and validation.



Looking for partners to validate Technology on TSV and Copper Pillar Dice in production environment.
