2.3.4 Optimized SolderBrace Material developed by Lord Corporation In the development of a wafer-level underfill targeted at fulfilling the needs of future designs such as fine pitch and 3D wafer level packaging, Lord Corporation has developed a new SolderBrace Material which is being presented as an alternative to underfill. It is a photo- imigable frontside molding compound with a low CTE that can increases the reliability of the package without added cost. More specifically, this SolderBrace technology is a partial underfill in which a thick coating is deposited on the underside of the die at the wafer level by utilizing the same back-end tools normally used in polyimide processing. The wafer-coated material is either spin coated or printed first, and then goes through a low-temperature pre-bake and UV exposure process. The cross section of a SolderBrace supported solder bump is shown in the Figure 2.16.
