Course Description

Given the immense cost of AI products and platforms, an important and differentiating factor for a successful packaging technology supplier is offering stellar quality and reliability (Q&R) to preserve the value of the expensive silicon chiplets. One way to guarantee stellar quality and reliability of products with new technologies is to overdesign them, but that can be very expensive. Alternatively, under-designing packages from a reliability perspective may be cheaper; however, it will likely trigger premature failures in the field, leading to higher ownership costs and frustration for customers. Optimizing this balance to deliver new technology and meet customer expectations requires drawing from experience (history), judicious use of simulations, augmenting with empirical data, and more importantly, engineering rigor to make the right technology decisions.

Given the complicated, and expensive, nature of these semiconductor packages, quality and reliability are a central theme for such complex products. We will discuss quality metrology for maintaining outgoing product quality and accelerated testing methods to predict field performance using the physics-of-failure methodology. 

The course will prepare the audience to tackle technical problems (related to failure mechanisms and product qualification) by providing a blueprint that aids in proving that the technology capabilities can meet the market demands. The participants will experience the concepts through hands-on exercises throughout the course. 

Learning Objectives

• A brief overview of semiconductor packaging.

• Understand the fundamentals of quality and reliability principles.

• Understand the concept of the bathtub curve and its use for Q&R optimization.

• Introduce the philosophy, and practical elements, of product qualification.

• Understand use conditions based on different markets like Automotive, Data Centers, Mobile, Space, etc.

• Understand different quality tests and reliability stress tests done for product qualification.

• Get insight into typical failure mechanisms and failure analysis techniques.

• Understand different quality tests and reliability stress tests done for product qualification.

• Introduction to acceleration models for predicting useful life of the package.

• Hands-on exercises related to these concepts.

   

Who Should Attend

This course is suitable for anyone seeking a better understanding of how quality and reliability evaluation is performed for semiconductor packaing.

Course Description

In this course, we dive into the fundamental roles of the package in enabling a complex product; namely, signal distribution, power delivery, thermal management, mechanical protection of the fragile silicon die(s), and the risks associated with the manufacturing flow. We trace the evolution of packaging technology from wire-bonded leadframe packages through flip-chip and ball grid arrays to today's advanced heterogeneous integration platforms, including 2.5D interposers, 3D die stacking, fan-out wafer level packaging, and chiplet-based architectures. 

Given the complicated, and expensive, nature of these semiconductor packages, quality and reliability are a central theme for such complex products. We will discuss quality metrology used to maintain outgoing quality of products and accelerated testing methods used to predict field performance using physics of failure methodology. 

The course concludes by presenting information on current or emerging technologies and the attendant challenges, that include hybrid bonding, co-packaged optics, and advanced substrate materials. The course also touches upon challenges with thermal dissipation for high-power AI products, and the bottlenecks now shaping next-generation semiconductor package roadmaps. 

Learning Objectives

• Define core packaging functions (signal, power, thermal, and mechanical).

• Trace the evolution from leadframes to 2.5D/3D and chiplet architectures.

• Explain the "More than Moore" shift from transistor to package innovation.

• Identify key failure mechanisms like electromigration and thermal fatigue.

• Apply quality metrology and screening methods to ensure outgoing product standards

• Use accelerated testing and physics-of-failure models to predict long-term package reliability. 

• Evaluate emerging trends in hybrid bonding and co-package optics. 

• Hands-on exercises

   

Who Should Attend

This course is ideal for anyone seeking a better understanding of semiconductor packaging fundamentals, challenges, and latest technologies.
