along with other 3D packaging and TSV (Through Silicon Via) technologies are becoming increasingly common, particularly in mobile devices. The trend for these package types continues toward thinner packages with higher ball pitch. As these trends increase the need for accurate warpage characterization is becoming ever more critical.<\/p><p>Akrometrix systems are capable of testing a range of PoP surfaces. In particular, the Shadow Moir\u00e9 technique is well designed to test these sample types in high volumes through thermal cycling. Testing throughput and repeatability is increased with the addition of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/akrometrix.com\/staging1\/part-tracking-real-time-analysis\/\">Part Tracking<\/a>\u00a0feature in Surface Measurement, which allows automatic location, rotation, and cropping of large sample quantities in a single reflow profile.<\/p><p>The below 3D surface plots show the shape of bottom and top components at the same elevated temperature. The top side of the bottom component is measured and, in this case, only the attaching perimeter of the sample is analyzed. The second picture shows the bottom side of the top (memory) component. Here we see that the direction and magnitude of warpage is similar for the connection between these components. This will not always be the case. Direction of warpage is important to consider when analyzing PoP attachment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5929269 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5929269\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e60092c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e60092c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Akrometrix\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/akrometrix.com\/staging1\/interface-analysis\/\">Interface Analysis<\/a>\u00a0software allows the automatic orientation and analysis of attaching surfaces as would be the case the following example. 3D packaging presents a unique opportunity for use of the Interface Analysis software. The bottom PoP component will actually contain two attach surfaces in one component. The bottom surface will attach to a PCB and the top surface will attach to the top memory component. Below are plots from Interface Analysis showing the top (shown in wire frame) and bottom surfaces for a different PoP sample, as well as a \u201cGap\u201d surface showing the difference between the two surfaces.

use of our warpage data. Originally, Akrometrix tools were most commonly used in an R&amp;D lab for development of new technology or design comparison. With industry wide acceptance of the value of controlling and monitoring warpage characteristics for reliable SMT attachment, Akrometrix equipment is now frequently used for quality assurance. High volume thermal warpage characterization is now a common approach for lot to lot QA at the component level.<\/p><p>Akrometrix has accommodated this shift through a number of software developments. Our Studio software has been optimized to handle large quantities of data in a batch processing fashion. Perhaps the biggest revelation in increasing both system throughput and reproducibility between locations and users was the addition of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/akrometrix.com\/staging1\/part-tracking-real-time-analysis\/\">Part Tracking<\/a>. Part Tracking is a software development from Akrometrix based on edge recognition technology. This software development allows automatic locating, orienting, and cropping of low to high quantities of samples inside Studio software enabled equipment. Additionally, with the built-in Akrometrix Automated Report Generator, high volume sample results can be easily organized, quantified, and reported.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d5ab193 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d5ab193\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-016716c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"016716c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The below images highlight Akrometrix Part Tracking technology.

Shadow Moir\u00e9 measurements are a far superior approach to PCB flatness characterization. Large area PCB shape can be captured at high speed and temperature without sacrificing measurement resolution. Bow and Twist standards can be applied automatically through the Akrometrix software to these global PCB measurements.<\/p><p>With tighter component pitches and tolerances, the warpage of PCB landing areas over temperature is becoming increasingly more critical to quantify. Akrometrix equipment is capable of capturing both global and landing area warpage at high resolution in a single thermal run. Many PCBs are known to exhibit different warpage behavior after exposure to multiple reflows. This makes capturing both global and local landing areas in a single thermal run essential. Akrometrix Surface Analysis software can batch process multiple PCB landing areas in a repeatable fashion. Additionally the fast (sub 2 second) acquisition time of Akrometrix systems is beneficial for measurement of thinner PCBs that can change shape quickly.<\/p><p>A PCB global and local 3D surface plot are shown below.
