A novel minioven accelerates aging tests for integrated circuit (IC) interconnects by rapidly heating individual packages. This system ensures reliable testing at high temperatures and thermal cycling for mass production qualification.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science and Engineering
  • Electrical Engineering
  • Semiconductor Manufacturing

Background:

  • Accelerated aging tests are crucial for qualifying interconnect technologies in integrated circuit (IC) package mass production.
  • Conventional ovens present limitations such as large size, slow temperature changes, and potential aging of electrical connections.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a miniaturized heating system (minioven) designed to overcome the limitations of conventional ovens for IC package aging tests.
  • To enable precise and rapid heating of individual IC packages for accelerated reliability testing.

Main Methods:

  • A core heating element made of copper from a square tube with integrated resistance heating wire.
  • Ceramic dual in-line packages (DIPs) are utilized, one with a Pt100 sensor and the other housing the device under test.

  • A proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller manages power to the heating wire based on real-time temperature feedback.

    • Main Results:

    • The minioven can rapidly heat IC packages from room temperature to 200°C in under 5 minutes, maintaining temperature with 28W power.
    • Sustained operation at 200°C for 1120 hours showed negligible resistance change in heating wires.
    • The system successfully withstood 5700 thermal cycles between 55°C and 195°C, demonstrating high reliability.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed minioven provides an effective and reliable solution for accelerated aging tests of IC interconnects.
    • Its compact design and rapid heating capabilities are suitable for mass production qualification and reliability assessment.
    • The system demonstrates robustness under prolonged high-temperature exposure and extensive thermal cycling.
