WP1: Specification and Characterisation
|
|
Specifications and requirements according to end users represented by the SME-IAG and in the SME core group will be defined from a market and a technical point of view. The process will be characterised and measuring methods will be defined.
|
|
|
WP2: Modelling, Simulation, Design
|
|
Results from modelling and simulation will inform each stage of development of the oven and its use in a commercial
environment. The basic model will be ready in month 6. The modelling and optimisation of curing process will be carried out
over two years. |
|
|
WP3: Development of improved cavity oven
|
|
The microwave oven configuration will be improved in order to be easily insertable into a high precision placement machine.
The output power will also be optimised through the use of micro-engineered variable impedance or slotted apertures walls. |
|
|
WP4: Characterisation of Assembly Process using Stand Alone Microwave Oven
|
|
The behaviour of the materials during bonding is characterised when they are assembled with other materials used in
electronics manufacturing such as a silicon die, substrate and copper tracks of varying dimensions. Prototype assemblies, using
the novel microwave oven used as a stand alone unit, will be undertaken. The aim of this analysis is to ensure that we optimise
the microwave cure process for the materials that are of interest. Process parameters are also to be optimised such as little
thermal damage occurs to the surrounding materials. In that work package, only curing of encapsulation and underfill packaging
will be carried out as such processes do not require precision alignment. |
|
|
WP5: Design and Setup of Famobs equipment
|
|
Manufacture of the high precision placement test set-up for RF microwave curing and assembly. The oven will be inserted into
the placement arm of the machine. This work will be carried out by FhG and the manufacturers of the precision equipment. A
full list of the specifications of the resulting machine will be created.
This work package will concentrate on the design and build of a high precision placement test set-up that will incorporate the
micro-engineered microwave oven. Whenever possible, an existing placement machine for an equipment manufacturer will be
adapted for oven insertion in order to reduce the time and effort needed to manufacturer such an equipment. |
|
|
WP6: Validation and Test
|
|
Bonding trials will be carried out using the high precision placement equipment according to specifications drawn by end-users.
The end users will test the resulting bonded components in terms of bond strength, device reliability and process time needed
to cure and package the components. Particular attention will be taken on the alignment capability of the machine and the
subsequent bonding. In the light of these results, there might be the need to undertake minor adjustments of the equipment.
The end users will provide feedback to the paste manufacturers, RTD performers and equipment manufacturers for optimisation
of the process and equipment. Finally, all project results will be systematically documented to ensure a smooth knowledge
transfer. |
|
|
|
WP7: Dissemination & Exploitation |
|
Dissemination of the results and open up opportunities for SME members to validate the process for their own use and
therefore creating case studies to disseminate the results to a large community of SME in Europe.
All deliverables of previous work packages will be transferred to the SME associations for diffusion into their respective
Consortia at the time of completion of these reports. An exploitation strategy will be worked out among the associations. |
|
|
|
WP8: Consortium Management |
|
The coordinator will be supported by the RTD performers in particular the administrative and financial management will be
carried out by FhG (IPA). The project will be managed locally by the investigators on a day-to-day basis. The tasks and project
schedule are given in the work plan of this application; these will be monitored and set against progress. Technical meetings
progress reports involving all relevant parties will be held every three months at the relevant partner sites. A website for the
project will also be setup to allow ease of dissemination of the meeting notes and minutes. |
