Abstract

Reliability of PBGA(plastic ball grid array) package is weak compared with normal plastic packages. The low reliability is caused by low resistance to the popcorn cracking, which is generated by moisture absorption in PCB(prited circuit board). In this paper, plasma treatment process was used and we analyzed its effects to interface adhesion. The contents of C and Cl decrease after plasma treatment but those of O, Ca, N relatively increase. The plasma treatment improves the adhesion between EMC(epoxy molding compound) and PCB(solder mask). The grade of improvement was over 100% Max, which depends on the properties of EMC. The RMS(root mean square) roughness value of the solder mask surface increases to plasma treatment. There is little difference of adhesion in RF power and treatment time.
