Background Statement for SEMI Draft Document 5835

New Standard: SPECIFICATION FOR ADHESIVE TRAY USED FOR THIN CHIP HANDLING

Notice: This background statement is not part of the balloted item. It is provided solely to assist the recipient in reaching an informed decision based on the rationale of the activity that preceded the creation of this Document.

Notice: Recipients of this Document are invited to submit, with their comments, notification of any relevant patented technology or copyrighted items of which they are aware and to provide supporting documentation. In this context, “patented technology” is defined as technology for which a patent has issued or has been applied for. In the latter case, only publicly available information on the contents of the patent application is to be provided.

Background

A variety of transportation trays or packages are being used as 3DsICs have become more common and IC chips thinner. Adhesive trays are considered effective since they can safely transport thin chips and have more flexibility for the quantity ofICs transported. Since no standards have been established for adhesive trays, development or modification of chip sorters and/or bonders will need to be adaptablefor any type of adhesive tray, which will raise the cost of manufacturing equipment. By standardizing the specification of adhesive trays, the cost of manufacturing equipment can be decreased and userefficiency improved. Through this standardization we hope to contribute to improvingthe supply chain.

The ballot results will be reviewed and adjudicated at the meetings indicated in the table below. Check under Calendar of Events for the latest update.

SEMI Draft Document 5835

New Standard: SPECIFICATIONFOR ADHESIVE TRAY USED FOR THIN CHIP HANDLING

1 Purpose

1.1 The purpose of this document is to establish astandard for the specification of adhesive trays for thin chip handling.

2 Scope

2.1 This document coversthin chip handling adhesive trays.

2.2 This document specifies the size and various properties of the adhesive trays.

2.3 This standard may be used as a specification for procurement of adhesive trays.

NOTICE: SEMI Standards and Safety Guidelines do not purport to address all safety issues associated with their use. It is the responsibility of the users of the documents to establish appropriate safety and health practices, and determine the applicability of regulatory or other limitations prior to use.

3 Referenced Standards and Documents

3.1 SEMI Standards and Safety Guidelines

None

3.2 ISOStandards[1]

ISO 2248:1985 — Packaging: Complete, Filled Transport Packages−Vertical Impact Test by Dropping

ISO 13355:2001 — Packaging: Complete, Filled Transport Packages and Unit Loads−Vertical Random Vibration Test

NOTICE: Unless otherwise indicated, all documents cited shall be the latest published versions.

4 Terminology

4.1 Abbreviations and Acronyms

4.1.1 3DsIC—Three-dimensional stacked integrated circuit

4.2 Definitions

4.2.1 adhesive trays —trays which have adhesion layer to hold thin chips. Adhesive trays are used for manufacturing, shipping and storage of thin chips.

4.2.2 thin chip — IC chips equal to or less than 0.1 mm thickness.

4.2.3 adhesive strength —the measure of the maximum tensile stress needed to detach or unstick a chip from an adhesive tray[HS1]

5 Test Methods

5.1 Measurement

5.1.1 Adhesive tray dimensions―Use Vernier caliper or other measurement scale with the accuracy at least 0.05 mm.

5.1.2 Parallelismof adhesive surface — The parallelism shall be obtained by measuring nine different points (p1~p9) of an adhesive surface to the datum line 2. The points to be measured shall be at an arbitrary point within 10mm×10mm range, which is at the center, the four corners and the middle points of each edge. Obtain the difference (P) between minimum and maximum heights. See Figure 1.

5.2 Adhesive strength test

5.2.1 Apparatus ―For test apparatus, see Figure 2.

Figure 2
Schematic view of apparatus

5.2.1.1 Construction — Test apparatus (load cell), constant speed lifting and lowering apparatus, collet and base.

5.2.1.2 Collet —Used for suction contact or adherenceto hold a chip.

5.2.1.3 Size of collet —A collet which is the same size as or slightlylargerthan a chip shall be used. The collet shall not come into contact with the adhesive area of the tray.

5.2.2 Adhesive tray —Adhesive trays shall be fixed on the base with an appropriate method.

5.2.3 Chip — See Table 1.

5.3 Test Method

5.3.1 Pressing and Fixing Chip

5.3.1.1 Pressing — A chip shall be pressed to the adhesive surface of the tray and fixed by the collet. When pressing, the pressure [HS2]shall not be sufficient to damage the chip.

5.3.1.2 Pressure — The pressure shall be between 0.1 N/cm2 to 10.0 N/cm2.

5.3.1.3 Fixing — After pressing the chip, the collet shall be removed and the chip shall be fixed on a tray.
