4. Highlights and issues  Bump gds design completed and mask delivery due end of next week LETI are confident they will have delivered wafers to ADVACAM by deliverable date.  Meeting required to discuss sensor availability for the flip-chip process Amount of sensors for flip-chipping – good statistical analysis required for micro-bump yield – Richard and I have begun discussions on this. IBL TDR bump spec: ○ Pitch = 50um ○ Bump density = 26,880 per ROIC ○ Defect rate <0.0004 ○ ROIC thickness <200um FEI4b Assembly testing ○ FEI4b probe card required ○ Test equipment/apparatus required ○ Semi-auto testing solution required for assemblies  Meeting set with LETI for an update 25/3/13 Project will be lead by the new 3D manager Meeting to ensure all deliverables are understood Some technical discussions around technology run 2 ○ Grinding and polishing of the wafer backside ○ Discussion around whether LETI debonds the first thinning run or we do for the thermal cycling measurements.

5. Highlights and issues (Cont’d)  SMC FSM thermal cycling tool is out of use at the moment. I have given them dates for when the tool is needed and asked for assurance that the tool will be ready by this time. Feedback from SMC is that they hope to have the tool running for when we require it, but have given no guarantees as yet. Sourcing alternatives ○ Southampton only have this ability to 150mm ○ JEMFIRE is another possiblity  Masks delivered to LETI and fist 2 wafers for flip-chip with micr-pillars should be available on time.

7. Design proposal - Microbumps schape : round shape (32 sides) instead of octogon - Electrical Continuity test proposed -Sacrified dies for alignment Bottom right corner Bottom left corner Proposed tests structures : -Only on 2 alignment chips - 2 Microbumps with 50µm diameter on each metal pad  2 pads on bottom left & 2 pads on bottom right -Test will be done directly on microbumps with microtips Proposed tests structures : -B – pad array will be use for continuity checks for contact between Cu pillars and aluminium pads. This will not affect the functionality of the chip.
