Research Interests

Polymer Bonding Materials for Low-cost Chip Packaging. Novel, reworkable, fast-curing, high performance, wafer-level underfill materials are being developed to significantly reduce processing time and cut material costs. This should make flip-chip packages even better solutions for wireless, global positioning and system on-chip PCs and information appliances. Current epoxy-based underfill materials, applied at the individual package level, take so long to process that they become the bottle neck for high volume production. The new materials to be developed are novel polymers that do not exhibit the draw backs of conventional materials, such as high viscosity, long cure time, short shelf-life and susceptiblity to moisture. The new encapsulant materials are expected to provide better bonds for flip-chip packages to a substrate on a printed circuit board. In addition, the research will create ways to deposit that material across the whole wafer in one pass before individual chips are separated from the wafer. This batch processing will make the process much more cost effective.
