the subject of this paper is the evaluation of the wetting balance as a technique for studying the flux activity of newly developed low-temperature solder paste fluxes.  The most effective configuration of the wetting balance was the standard configuration with only one change: the PbSn eutectic solder was replaced with a eutectic solder alloy with a melting point of 58 degree C.  Since 58 degree C is significantly less than the proposed activation temperatures of the solder fluxes, wetting curves as a function of temperature could be studied for each of the fluxes.  The resulting data was used to rank the fluxes in terms of the activation requirement

it has been extremely difficult to characterize the SONET/SDH standard receiver with tolerances of +/- 0.3 dB.  This paper describes a method for calibrating photoreceiver frequency response with the low inherent uncertainty of the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology Nd: YAG heterodyne system and transferring this calibration to a production test system while maintaining a low uncertainty

Radially Staggered Bonding Technology

this new approach to fine-pitch integrated circuit bonding entails a new configuration of bonding pads on the die, dual-loop wire bonding, and a new leadframe design that minimizes wire lengths.  The approach bypasses the usual obstacles to fine-pitch bonding that arise with the conventional in-line approach, thus providing appreciable die size and cost reduction with a minimal assembly cost penalty

Functional Verification of the HP PA 8000 Processor

the advanced microarchitecture of the HP PA 8000 CPU has many features that presented significant new verification challenges.  These include out-of-order instruction execution, register renaming, speculative execution, four-way superscalar operation, decoupled instruction fetch, concurrent system bus interface, and PA-RISC 2.0 architecture enhancements. Enchanced functional verification tools and processes were required to address theis microarchitectural complexity

MOSFET Scaling into the Future

2D process and device simulators have been used to predict the performance of scaled MOSFETs spanning the 0.35um to 0.07-um generations.  Requirements for junction depth and channel doping are discussed.  Constant-field scaling is assumed.  MOSFET drive current remains nearly constant from one generation to the next and most of the performance improvement comes from the decreasing supply voltage.  Gate delay decreases by 30% per generation, nearly the same trend as previous generations.  However, this perfomance gain comes at the price of much higher off-state leakage because of the reduction of the threshold voltage.  Various solutions to this high leakage are discussed.

Improving Heat Transfer from a Flip-Chip Package

the lid of an ASIC package can significantly increase the temperature of the die by impeding heat transfer.  In flip-chip packages the backside of a die can be exposed by eliminating the lid, thus allowing a heat sink to be attached directly.  Numerical finite difference methods and experimentation were used to investigate the differences between lidded and lidless flip-chip designs.  The results demonstrate that a lidless package is a superior design because of the increased thermal conductivity between the die and the heat sink
