Advantages of SiO2

Advantages of SiO2

m Chemical inertness

m Attractive mechanical properties

- Outstanding thermal stability

- High strength (1 GPa) & stiffness

- Compressive stress preload

- Low expansion coefficient

m Consistent, controlled deposition

- Minimum # of process parameters

- No corrosion of Cu (e.g., from polyamic acid)

- 360° Ni cladding not required

Ô Lower-cost process

- Easily reworked die attach

- High-yield (.99995) wire bonding

- TAB & flip-chip compatibility

- Flat, stress-balanced substrates

Ô Improved manufacturability

- Excellent thickness control

- ±2% within wafer

- ±2% wafer-to-wafer

- Properties not subject to lot-to-lot variations
