Industry Challenges
Plastic encapsulation of IC components is a process where an integrated circuits chip is being capsulated with Epoxy Molding Compound (EMC) via the diverse molding process to prevent physical damage or corrosion. In addition to the complex chemorheology of EMC, the electronic components with sophisticated and fine design have brought the challenges and uncertainty to encapsulation processes. Common defects of chip encapsulation including

The IC industry is always challenging for thinner packages with smaller footprint. Though the flip-chip technology has various advantages over the other high-density electronic packaging approaches, there are rising challenges to ensure moldability and minimize defects with rapid advances in flip chip technology such as decreasing bump pitch, stand-off height, thinner package profiles and molded materials.

Moldex3D filling analysis can be used to optimize the process to reduce defects without doing actualexperiments involving a large DOE matrix. The filling simulation can effectively reduce the design toimplementation cycle time, identifying key problems before actual fabrication. And diverse molding process such as molded underfill, capillary underfill and compression molding processes can be analyzed through the simulation tools.
Wire sweep / Paddle shift
-
During the fabrication of epoxy molding compound in IC encapsulation process, stress-induced problems such as wire sweep and paddle shift are the most common problems. The viscous drag force on wires exerted by the resin melt flow causes wire sweep, while non-uniform force loading on paddle results in paddle shift.

Moldex3D provides wire sweep prediction and wire sweep index for user to determine if the setting of In figure, the position of wire cross over is shown in a closer look. In the wire crossover display, the shape of wires are shown as deformed mesh on true scale, and wires contact each other will be marked in red, while other wires remain processing conditions, the selection of materials, and lead frame layout is appropriate. And the integrated paddle shift analysis can help connect filling and structure analyses and post-process, which gives a comprehensive solution for paddle shift phenomenon.
