Project Briefing
Problem Statements
SIPs turn to be complex
Increased number of components in a given space
Narrower gap between die-to-passive or passive-to-
passive
Narrower clearance between Mold top to components
7
Complex
& Narrower design
Apple Watch(Source: chipworks)
Narrower component to component
33x33mm PKG, 36 components
Component to Component : Min. 500um
Problem Statements
Need to understand molding and its impact
To understand the filling characteristics per density of
components on a substrate
To understand failure modes(Incomplete fill, Voids, Solder
bridge, etc.)
To understand the relationship between warpage and
components density

Bump bridge due to EMC void
Potential voids
Purpose
• Provide basic design rules based on mold flow simulation for a
variety of cases with component of different geometries.
• Verify the validity of the simulation results through experimental
work.
9
Scope 1
• This project will focus on comparing the mold flow ability for different
component geometries in substrate by simulation and actual experiment.
The mold flowability will be compared as outlined below:
– 3 different component densities.
– 3 different gaps between mold top and the highest components top.
– 3 different clearances between passive-to-passive and IC-to-passive in mold flow simulation
and actual experiment.
– 2 different unit arrays of vertical and horizontal unit array to compare the mold flow and
voiding performance.
– 4 different EMC types.
– 2 different substrate thicknesses to compare the warpage performance by component density.
10
Scope 2
• The simulation will be performed with several factors of substrate layout,
mold compound resins and molding condition.
– Component density difference: The density of components will be approximately 42%, 49%
and 65% coverage in 9x15mm PKG size.
– Mold clearance between mold top and the highest passive top: Clearance is from 10um to
37um.
– Clearance of passive-to-passive or passive-to-IC: clearance is from 75um to 125um distance.
– The various geometries will provide guidelines for mold flow with SiP products and give
indications on how to optimize the component layout and the gap and distance between
components without any failure issues.
• The experiment will be performed per below DoE plan.
– Experiment results will be compared with the simulation results, which associates with flow
ability and void level.
– It will be evaluated by visual inspection, scanning acoustic microscopy, X-ray inspection, and
scanning electron microscopy to compare with simulation result.
– Furthermore, the warpage of the test vehicle will be measured to study the impact of the
component density on warpage.
