Die Attach Adhesives and Films

  • Chapter
Materials for Advanced Packaging

Abstract

This chapter outlines the strong correlation between developments in electronic packaging technologies and required properties of die attach materials. An overview of die attach materials is summarized with the trends in the market. Die attach paste, adhesive tape for a lead on chip (LOC), die attach film, and the prospects of advanced die attach film are described in each section. The technical requirements of the die attach materials, which include high purity, fast curing, low stress and high package crack resistance are discussed.

Die attach films have become the main stream of die attach materials owing to their excellent properties and reliability. The future of advanced die attach films is explained with the introduction of adhesive film with dicing / die attach dual functionality.

The effects of adhesive properties such as peel strength and water absorption to improve package crack resistance are reported in detail. The development of die attach films with excellent reliability for advanced packages such as BGA/CSP is also reviewed.
