iNEMI Call for Participation Webinar Dec. 12
December 6, 2019 | iNEMIEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Flip chip electronic packages are commonly used to address today’s high-density interconnect needs. However, the formation of small voids (microvoids) can occur in solder-based flip chip joints during the assembly process and these voids tend to grow after multiple reflows. This can be a concern for certain applications that involve high electrical and thermal flux across the flip chip where void formation can have an impact on electromigration in the joint. The presence of a void can accelerate complete open failure due to electromigration.
This project will study voids in flip chip interconnect to determine their location and volume. It will also seek to understand how voiding in 1st level interconnect affects product reliability and what level of voiding is acceptable while maintaining reliability requirements. The project will have two distinct phases:
- Phase 1: Determine recommended inspection capabilities for micro-voids in 1st level interconnect materials
- Phase 2: Determine the relationship between voids and the electrical and mechanical reliability of the assembly
The project is expected to develop technical guidelines regarding acceptable voiding characteristics for flip chip interconnects that can be shared with industry and relevant standards bodies.
The 1st Level Interconnect Void Characterization Project is led by Lee Kor Oon (Intel) as project leader, with Sze Pei Lim (Indium) and Kiyoshi Ooi (Shinko) as co-leaders. Click here for additional project information.

Connect the Dots: Designing for Reality—The Pre-Manufacturing Process
05/08/2024 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsI have been working with Nolan Johnson on a podcast series about designing PCBs for the reality of manufacturing. By sharing lessons learned over a long career in the PCB industry, we hope to shorten learning curves and help designers produce better boards with less hassle and rework. Episode 2 deals with the electronic pre-manufacturing process. Moving from CAD (computer-aided design) to CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) is a key step in PCB manufacturing. CAM turns digital designs into instructions that machines can use to actually build the PCB.
