Seminar: Materials and Reliability for Advanced Packaging and Heterogeneous Integration by Dr. Dongkai Shangguan

Macro Technology Works Building, Conference Room 3654 7700 S River Pkwy, Tempe

Title: Materials and Reliability for Advanced Packaging and Heterogeneous Integration Abstract: As electronic products become more pervasive in applications, interconnect reliability must be considered holistically with regard to environmental conditions, from thermomechanical to electrical and electrochemical. Thermal dissipation is another great concern as the power density increases. Understanding the failure mechanisms for different interconnect materials at various levels (wafer, chip, package, and system) of the semiconductor package is of great importance to interconnect reliability and device performance. At the same time, as newer forms of interconnects emerge in advanced packaging to meet the demand for high density and high performance, interconnect reliability is becoming more complex and more critical. The growing adoption of heterogeneous integration leads to increased diversity of interconnects in the same package, with complex reliability failure modes and mechanisms. In this presentation, the technology trends for advanced packaging will be outlined, and the growing demand for new materials for high density interconnects will be discussed. Process robustness, reliability and product performance are some of the important considerations for innovative materials solutions for advanced packaging and heterogeneous integration. Thermal management solutions will also be discussed. Biography: Dr. Dongkai Shangguan, IEEE Fellow, is Strategic Advisor to Indium Corporation, and President of Thermal Engineering Associates, Inc. Previously, he served as Corporate Vice President at Flex (formerly Flextronics) for Technology & Engineering, and as Chief Marketing Officer at STATSChipPAC. Early in his career, he held various technical and management responsibilities at Ford Electronics and Visteon. Dr. Shangguan has published 3 books, including the recent book “Direct Copper Interconnection for Advanced Semiconductor Technology”. He has also authored/co-authored over 200 technical papers, and has been issued 33 U.S. patents. Dr. Shangguan has served on the iNEMI Board of Directors, the IEEE EPS Board of Governors, and the IPC Board of Directors. He is an IEEE EPS Distinguished Lecturer. He has previously received a number of recognitions for his contributions to the industry, including the Daniel C. Hughes, Jr. Memorial Award and the William D. Ashman Achievement Award from IMAPS, the Electronics Manufacturing Technology Award and the Outstanding Sustained Technical Contribution Award from IEEE EPS, the President’s Award from IPC, and the Total Excellence in Electronics Manufacturing Award from the Society of Manufacturing Engineers. Dr. Shangguan received his B.Sc. degree in Mechanical Engineering from Tsinghua University, China, MBA degree from San Jose State University, and Ph.D. in Materials from the University of Oxford, U.K. He conducted post-doctoral research at the University of Cambridge and The University of Alabama. Dongkai currently lives in San Jose, CA, and travels globally in service of the industry.

Seminar: Challenges and Opportunities in Heterogeneous Integration by Dr. Ravi Mahajan

Macro Technology Works Building 7700 S River Pkwy, Tempe

Title: Challenges and Opportunities in Heterogeneous Integration Biography: Dr Ravi Mahajan is an Intel Fellow responsible for Assembly and Packaging Technology Pathfinding for future silicon nodes. Ravi joined Intel in 1992 after earning his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Lehigh University. He has led Pathfinding efforts to define Package Architectures, Technologies and Assembly Processes for multiple Intel silicon nodes including 90nm, 65nm, 45nm, 32nm, 22nm and 7nm silicon. He holds the original patents for silicon bridges that became the foundation for Intel’s EMIB technology. His early insights have led to highperformance, cost-effective cooling solutions for high-end microprocessors and the proliferation of photo-mechanics techniques for thermo-mechanical stress model validation. His contributions during his Intel career have earned him industry honors, including the SRC’s 2015 Mahboob Khan Outstanding Industry Liaison Award, the 2016 THERMI Award from SEMITHERM, the 2016 Allan Kraus Thermal Management Medal & the 2018 InterPACK Achievement award from ASME, the 2019 “Outstanding Service and Leadership to the IEEE” Awards from IEEE Phoenix Section & Region 6, the 2020 Richard Chu ITherm Award, and the 2020 ASME EPPD Excellence in Mechanics Award. Ravi also represents Intel in academia through research advisory boards, conference leadership, and participation in various student initiatives. He is one of the founding editors for the Intel Assembly and Test Technology Journal (IATTJ) and currently VP of Publications & Managing Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions of the CPMT. He has long been associated with ASME’s InterPACK conference and was Conference Co-Chair of the 2017 Conference. Ravi is a Fellow of two leading societies, ASME and IEEE. He was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2022 for contributions to advanced microelectronics packaging architectures and their thermal management.
