Traditional underfill and glob-top materials with anhydride curng epoxies have Tg around 100-150°C that may exert too high interfacial tensile stress when going through reflow soldering at 250°C. A new generation of AIT underfill and glob-top compounds with different chemistry enables a new paradigm of performance in ultra high Tg of 240°C and incorporating high thermal conductivity and low thermal interface resistance to power the transfer of heats from both the top and bottom sides of the flip-chip packages.

What distinguishes AIT’s Underfills are their unparalleled ability to manage stress while providing outstanding moisture barrier. These capabilities are achieved with unconventional polymer engineering and designs. AIT’s advanced microelectronic protection products are ideal for large high performance devices operating at high temperatures.
High Tg of 175-240C of the new generation of AIT thermally conductive underfill compounds coupling with molecular level stress absorption capability enables many high-performance flip-chip packaging including power devices.
Traditional anhydride curing epoxies have limiting capability in stress absorption when undergoing reflow soldering of 250C for the new lead-free soldering.
- Underfills and Glob-tops proven for use at high temperature of 150-300°C beyond, in addition to traditional 150°C applications.
- Proven moisture insensitivity and low moisture absorption affords the possibility to meet up to the level 1 in JEDEC component reliability.
- RoHS, REACH and WEEE compliant to meet UL94V-0 rating.
The same high Tg flip-chip underfill compounds with stress absorption capability are also available for use in managing stress in ball-grid-array packages on printed circuit board.
New Generation of Ultra High Tg Film Underfill
Chip-on-chip with copper pillar interconnections or gold-stud bumps is best with underfill CTE less than copper at 18ppm/°C. Chip-on-package such as BT or equivalent having CTE of 12 ppm/°C is best filled with underfill with CTE as close to 12 ppm/°C as possible. UF-MC7883-FP having below 16 ppm/°C CTE and capillary gap filling capability of less than 35μm meets 3-D and chiplets packaging requirements.
High Melt-Flow Film Underfill for FOW:
- Outstanding melt-flow and wetting to flow-over-wire for stack-chip applications
- Ability to cure at lower temperature from 100-150°C for lower interfacial stresses
- Ideal for large area stack-chip and module
- Preform with specific thickness accommodates the flip-chip or ball-grid-array parts with preformed cut-outs for interconnections allowing the film adhesive to flow and encapsulate for protection
Flow-Over-Wire underfill film adhesive is available in DDAF format for large scale wafer level packaging
