fluxes the solder bumps, <strong>for</strong>ms a nice fillet, and was fully cured during a single<br />

reflow exposure (see Figure 3.11, picture from Lord Research group). The assembled<br />

packages using this material were expected to achieve high reliability and yield.<br />

However, this material had some non-wetting issues when applied on the metalized<br />

wafers. In addition, Lord no-flow flux is not a no clean flux. It needs more cleaning<br />

steps after the assembly. If the flux is not completely cleaned, it may be trapped in the<br />

tight spaces between surface mount components and substrates, leading to reliability<br />

problems. Or the flux would become more tenacious as a result of relatively longer<br />

times and higher temperatures during reflow, hence is more difficult to clean.<br />

There<strong>for</strong>e, TSF-6592 was selected as the flux <strong>for</strong> solderball placement and die<br />

placement in this research.<br />

- Stencil design: The volume and bump geometry of the printed material is mainly<br />

determined by the stencil thickness and aperture opening size[64]. In this research, an<br />

electro<strong>for</strong>med stencil was chosen <strong>for</strong> the printing since its aperture wall smoothness<br />
