Thermal-Mechanical Integrity Abstract: 3-D passive thin film resistor heat removal test structures were fabricated on multi-layer wafer configurations to characterize and optimize vertical and horizontal heat removal in wafer level packaging technologies. Four layer heat removal test coupons with optimized thermal management design demonstrate a thermal resistance of less than 36ºC/W. Two layer test cells with DC interconnections and active device structures were also fabricated to evaluate and characterize the thermalmechanical integrity for 3-D integrated structures. The robust multiple layer construction demonstrates no measurable changes in DC resistance of interconnects or small signal performance of active devices after completing 10 thermal stress cycles from -55 to 125ºC. Results from 3-D x-ray computed tomography imaging will be presented to demonstrate advanced thermal-electrical-mechanical integrity analysis for multilayer structures. |
