Internship - Package Reliability Characterization M/F

OUR TECHNOLOGY STARTS WITH YOU

At ST, we are 52,000 creators and makers of semiconductor technologies, and a leader in innovation with 8,100 people working in R&D. In partnership with our customers, we design and build products, solutions, and ecosystems that address their challenges and opportunities, and the need to support a more sustainable world.

We put People First: at STMicroelectronics, we are proud to be an international company, proud to offer an open and connected work environment, and above all, proud of our team’s diversity. Committed to empowering all people to realize their potential through a culture of autonomy, creativity and personal development.

Sustainability We create technology for a sustainable world in a sustainable way, we prioritize people and the planet. ST is committed to become carbon neutral and to source 100% renewable energy by 2027.

Main responsibilities

Master thesis project phases:

1.Learning of technical and practical skills necessary to study the phenomena addressed in the study

2.Bibliographic search to define the state of the art about:

• Intermetallic compounds (IMCs) growth during thermosonic bonding and its evolution during accelerated reliability tests
• Characterization methods for copper-aluminum IMCs
• Molding resin composition and ionic contamination impact on copper-aluminum joint

3.Review of characterization and reliability ageing data already available on samples of copper-aluminum joints (assembled in L/TQFP packages) varying aluminum metal composition (Al 4N, Al-Cu, Al-Si-Cu) and copper wire composition (Cu 4N, Cu alloy 2N)

4.Experimental activity to continue a reliability stress matrix already in place at different temperature conditions, and possibly start new / complementary experimental cells.

Activity includes engineering samples phyisical analysis in different stress conditions, electrical tests readouts and analysis to characterize IMCs integrity and composition. The focus will be the study of ultimate ageing effects, possibly leading to loss of electrical functionality. Some of those measurements could be carried out directly by the thesis student, some measurements will be carried out by internal labs or university labs.
