This course will provide information on the various stages of semiconductor package manufacturing, including sort, assembly, and final test. In addition, we will also describe how to select, build, and test the packages with the die and other components to ensure the quality of the package and total assembly performance. We will also discuss the role of Process Control Systems in semiconductor manufacturing as they relate to quality testing. Specifically, we will explore how Process Control Systems can help identify and correct process problems that cause variation and quality issues. Finally, we also demonstrate how to use control charts to monitor the process performance. These can assist in decision-making, specifically when to take action to improve the process.

In this module, Dr. Mitul Modi discusses process flows for different types of semiconductor packages. He will explain how most process flows consist of three basic steps: sort, assembly, and final test. You will learn the details of how these steps vary depending on the package type. Mitul will give examples of process flows for BGA, LGA, 3D stacked LGA, and Stacked Hybrid packages. He will also mention that there are many more possible scenarios for process flows in semiconductor packaging.

In this module, Dr. Mitul Modi discusses the role and benefits of Process Control Systems (PCS) in semiconductor manufacturing. He will explain how PCS can detect and correct process problems that cause variation and quality issues. He will also define the concepts of targets, variation, common and special causes, control limits, and stability. Finally, he will demonstrate how to use control charts to monitor the process performance and to decide when to take action to improve the process.

In conclusion of Introduction to Semiconductor Packaging, we would like to summarize the main takeaways. We started by sharing various aspects of nanoelectronics, transistor action, reliability, and customer ease of use. Then, we explored how Moore’s Law and market use conditions affect the packages' reliability needs and the materials/design choices. At the end, we saw how the common footprint of a motherboard or socket determines a package's substrate level interconnect. Thank you for joining us.

Frequently asked questions
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
If you subscribed, you get a 7-day free trial during which you can cancel at no penalty. After that, we don’t give refunds, but you can cancel your subscription at any time. See our full refund policy.
