Abstract :
Copper migration in adhesive of Tape Automated Bonding (TAB) tape during biased moisture stress can cause failure. Experiments aimed at reducing copper migration show that copper precipitation lengths after HAST are linearly proportional to chloride concentration in the TAB tape material. Discharge potential measurements of TAB tape in 156 /spl deg/C bake are correlated to chloride concentration.<>
