Accurate die placement and attachment are critical for process stability and the resultant component quality in epoxy die bonding and other similar die attach processes. The adhesive thickness, also known as bond line thickness (BLT), is critical for a reliable die attach to a lead frame or other substrate.
Polytec TopMap surface profilers allow for the automatic and reliable determination of die orientation on the lead frame, including die tilt and bond line thickness measurement. This non-contact measuring approach allows for quick, easy, and dependable quality control of the die bonding process.
Polytec’s 3D surface metrology technologies are simple to incorporate into manufacturing lines and also provide systematic and high-resolution in-process measurement in expoy die bonding processes. Typical measurements include bond line thickness measurement (BLT), die tilt determination, torsional information, BLT height or die/chip placement, and relative measurement to a reference position.
The die attach fillet is an excess climbing on the edge of the die in quad-flat no-leads (QFN) packages, which is one of the most common chip connect types in integrated circuits. It gives the die edges mechanical strength.
The beneficial and optimized parameters, like the fillet’s height from the pad, width, slope of rise, and slope angle, can be determined using the measured bond line thickness.
