Development Trend of Epoxy Molding Compound for Encapsulating Semiconductor Chips

  • Chapter
Materials for Advanced Packaging

Abstract

Epoxy molding compounds (EMCs) have been used extensively as an encapsulation and protection material for semiconductor packages and must meet ever-evolving packaging requirements including moisture sensitivity level (MSL), moldability, and environmental and other reliability 1000 requirements. This chapter provides an overview of most recent development on various aspects of EMCs including advanced material development, molding process, and approaches to improve moldability, moisturized reflow resistance, warpage control of molded area array packages, and stress management for molding die with low-k interlayer dielectrics (ILD).
