The Reliability Challenges of Qfn Packaging

چکیده
The quad flat pack no lead or quad flat non-leaded (QFN) is one of the fastest growing package types in the electronics industry today. While the advantages of QFNs are well documented, concerns arise with its reliability and manufacturability. Acceptance of this package, especially in long-life, severe-environment, high-reliability applications, is currently limited. One of the most common drivers for reliability failures is inappropriate adoption of new technologies, such as the case with QFN. In this presentation, we will review and discuss QFN related reliability concerns and challenges, and propose Physics-ofFailure (PoF) based approaches to allow the confident introduction of QFN components into electronics products.

متن کاملReduction of Warpage Occurrence Stack-die Qfn through Fea and Statistical Method
In semiconductor packaging, warpage is one of the critical issues during molding stage. It is related to a thermal mismatch i.e. coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) values and reliability of passive components in the package. Finite element method (FEM) is able to perform extensive structural analysis of quad flat no-lead (QFN) package designs once verified by experiments. 2 factorial is emp...
متن کاملSolder Paste Stencil Design for Optimal QFN Yield and Reliability
The use of bottom terminated components (BTC) has become widespread, specifically the use of Quad Flat No-lead (QFN) packages. The small outline and low height of this package type, improved electrical and thermal performance relative to older packaging technology, and low cost make the QFN/BTC attractive for many applications. Over the past 15 years, the implementation of the QFN/BTC package h...
متن کاملSolder Joint Reliability Analysis and Testing
QFN packages have become mainstream designs for mobile applications. As more applications adopt the QFN style packages, I/O count requirements are increasing. The typical method for increasing pin count in a QFN package is to increase the body size to accommodate the additional lead fingers. This is undesirable though, as mobile device users are pushing for smaller package sizes. By using a dua...
