Abstract

With new and continuous semiconductor technology trends, challenges in assembly manufacturing are inevitable. This paper focused on the elimination of assembly defects particularly package chip-out and scratch at the singulation end-of-line (EOL) process of a semiconductor device.  Simulation using computer-aided design (CAD) tools, actual process replication, and validations were done, eventually verifying and replicating the desired defect signatures. Singulation tool setup of the package was improved and a standardized tool setup was established based on the simulation and actual validations, resulting to at least 90% improvement in assembly EOL process parts per million (ppm) reduction.
