Abstract
Due to limitations of device size and weight and the demand for multi-functional, high precision, and highly reliable devices, bare dies have been adopted instead of packaged components. By using dies directly without packaging, costs are somewhat reduced. However, without packaging protection, higher requirements on quality and reliability are imposed on bare dies. Based on system reliability, a comprehensive assessment must be made based on factors such as selection control, structural management, functional performance, and environmental adaptability. A typical die was initially selected, based on the application reliability risk analysis for bare dies, reliability evaluation projects were designed, and the reliability evaluation scheme was confirmed. The functionality, performance, reliability, and adaptability of the bare die were evaluated. The practical results demonstrated that the integrated evaluation method can effectively avoid the use of components with quality risks or insufficient reliability, contributing to the goal of reducing costs while ensuring product quality and reliability.
1 Introduction
With the development of equipment for high precision, high reliability, long life, and deep space applications (; ; ), there has been an increasing demand on the functionality, performance, integration density, and reliability of integrated circuits under constraints of equipment size and weight. This trend had led to the growing widespread application of bare dies. Therefore, it is crucial to not overlook evaluation of the quality and reliability of newly selected bare dies.
Through the known-good bare die (KGD) technique (; ; ), reliability tests such as functionality, performance, burn-in, and screening can ensure the quality and reliability of bare dies. The series standards that have been established include American JESD49 KGD (), Japanese EIAJ EDR-4703, and European ES59008 and IEC62258. The entire process from design verification to production process control and die screening assures the quality of bare dies.
To meet the equipment requirements for bare dies, it is necessary to conduct analysis of the selection management of bare dies based on system reliability. In order to respond to the demand for domestic bare dies and requirements for cost reduction and efficiency improvement, it is necessary to select products from mature, stable, and high-quality suppliers. Accordingly, in a typical application environment, the application’s reliability must be scientifically, effectively, and efficiently assessed to support bare die application. Based on the risk analysis of the reliability of bare dies, the physical properties, function, performance, environmental adaptability, and assembly adaptability are evaluated to verify whether bare die reliability and quality are suitable for application. The main processes to selective control are shown in Figure 1. Based on the requirements of the project, we selected a typical one and verified the effectiveness of the system analysis method. Considering both the typical application environment of the equipment and a reliability risk analysis of the application, we developed an evaluation plan for initial selected. This plan aimed to assess various aspects of the die, including physical characteristics, functionality, performance, environmental adaptability, and assembly compatibility in order to evaluate the suitability of the typical die.

2 Selection control method for bare dies
To ensure that a selected bare die can be reliably applied in equipment, equipment requirements must be obtained for its typical application environment (), functional performance, physical characteristics (), and acceptable failure rate of bare dies. To meet the quality and reliability requirements of the equipment when choosing typical bare dies (; ), both the product supplier () and typical products should both be evaluated.
The reliability of components depends on the production process () and the management level of suppliers (). To ensure the consistency, stability, and traceability of components, the capability assessment of suppliers (; ; ) includes design, raw material management, product process control (; ; ), non-conforming product handling, stable supply (), and quality management ().
When selecting a typical die, products from well-known domestic manufacturers with established processes should be preferred. The manufacturer should be chosen from the top of the industry which reliably produces proven products.
After investigation, the typical power management bare die X43XXX was selected to apply in a specific device. The die had passed the qualification test as required and had stable supply. The evaluation of the selected typical products included microstructural characteristics, function and performance, environmental adaptability, and assembly adaptability.
3 Microstructural analysis for bare dies
Unreasonable structural design, mismatched material properties, or unstable process control may lead to a decline in the inherent reliability of components and increase potential safety hazards (; ). The physical properties of a bare die to be evaluated will affect its inherent reliability, operational reliability (; ), and service life (). It is necessary to analyze whether structural design, materials, and processes meet the requirements of the special application environment of the equipment. Structural analysis can determine the physical characteristics of potential operational reliability risks and eliminate them before the die is applied.
Microstructural characteristics (such as structure, process, and material) significantly influence the life expectancy and reliability of bare dies, necessitating thorough evaluation. Structural analysis is crucial in reliability assessment as it effectively identifies components with prohibited or restricted structures, as well as those posing quality risks, from being integrated into equipment. Structural analysis gives insights into the actual composition of electronic components and uncovers potential design weaknesses and manufacturing flaws, thereby ensuring compliance with established standards.
We decomposed the structural units of a typical bare die and identified key elements. The structural units and evaluation factors of the X43XXX die are listed in Table 1, including the die itself, bonding pads, and passivation layers. After decomposing the structural units, performance analysis and calculation of these units along with their constituent materials must be conducted. Based on the structural evaluation criteria for the bare die, structural analysis tests were formulated. The structural analysis test items for the X43XXX structure are shown in Table 2.

Structural analysis test items.
Three samples were selected for structural analysis. First, their physical dimensions were measured and subject to internal visual inspection using a stereo microscope and a metallographic microscope. The dicing quality of bare die X43XXX was good, with no observed damage or cracks. The surface showed no signs of blistering, peeling, or erosion. The backside was a substrate layer, and there were no metalized coatings on its surface. The passivation layer integrity of the die was qualified.
After embedding the bare die sample and performing cross-section inspections, a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy-dispersive spectrometer were utilized to analyze the structure and materials of the dare die. This revealed that the die featured a layered architecture encompassing surface passivation layers, internal multilayer metallization, interlayer bare dielectrics, and a bottom substrate layer. Further analysis indicated that the die’s substrate was composed of silicon (Si), with aluminum (Al) as the primary constituent in its metallization layers. The thickness of the topmost metallization layer was measured to be approximately 5.5 μm. The intermediate bare dielectric layers were found to primarily consist of carbon (C), oxygen (O), aluminum (Al), and silicon (Si). Additionally, the vias within the die were predominantly composed of carbon (C), oxygen (O), aluminum (Al), tungsten (W), and titanium (Ti).
By examining the die using a metallographic and a scanning electron microscope, it was observed that the bonding pad surface in the bonding area was smooth and continuous, with no signs of peeling, flaking, or bulging. It can be concluded from the structure, raw materials, and process design that the bare die had a reasonable structural design and contained no prohibited or restricted processes or materials. Therefore, this die met the requirements for encapsulation.
4 Application reliability risk analysis for bare dies
4.1 Functionality and performance for bare dies
To assess the technical specifications of the equipment, we conducted a baseline evaluation of functionality, performance, key parameter characteristics, power voltage limiting value, and operating temperature limiting value for the typical bare die. This was to verify whether the actual performance metrics of the bare die cover the specified range for the product. Baseline testing of key parameter characteristic curves can be used to help designers understand parameter variation patterns and take protective measures when necessary. Furthermore, baseline testing of the operating temperature limiting value can reveal the typical temperature application range of the bare die to prevent designers from overstepping this range, which could lead to die failure.
Static, functional, and switching tests were conducted according to the specifications on this bare die at three temperature points (−55°C, 25°C, and 125°C). All test results were satisfactory.
Based on the equipment application design analysis and the recommended operating conditions in the detailed specifications, the static current of the die under different input voltages and temperatures was fitted to understand the characteristic curves of the die. Two samples, 10# and 11#, were selected for testing. Under the power supply of A line VDDA ranging from 3 V to 12 V, the trend of the static current output current of A line IOA was measured; B line was similarly measured.
Within a temperature range of −55°C to 125°C with a temperature step interval of 25°C, tests were conducted on IOA and IOB. After the experiments, parameter fitting was performed. No abnormal phenomena were observed in the die during the testing process.
4.2 Environmental suitability of bare dies
Typical environments include temperature () and the mechanical environment. Components used in equipment should be able to withstand temperature environmental stress during storage, transportation, launch, ascent, and operation. The temperature factors that have a significant impact on components include high temperature () and low temperature and temperature variation (). High temperatures (; ; ) may lead to changes in parameters such as power factor and dielectric constant. Temperature-related evaluation tests include temperature cycling (; ), thermal shock (; ; ), high-temperature storage tests (; ), and power temperature cycling tests (; ). The evaluation test items and conditions were confirmed based on the temperature environment that the components had experienced, and the thermal environment adaptability of the components in practical applications was evaluated ().
The environmental adaptability of bare dies is related to the operation stage of the equipment. Factors with a significant impact on bare dies include high temperatures, low temperatures, and thermal cycling.
Temperature cycling tests can be used to evaluate the ability of a die to withstand alternating extreme high and low temperatures and to analyze the effects of such temperature changes on the die; before its first selection, the anti-static capability of a bare die should be assessed. To verify the quality or reliability of bare dies under specified conditions, life testing can be employed to determine their life limit (). Other special environments must be identified based on the typical operating environment of the equipment (; ), such as mechanical stress, salt fog, humidity, and space radiation. When bare dies are applied, it is essential to consider their compatibility with packaging technologies.
By conducting life tests on the products, the failure rate and mean time between failures (MTBF) of the products are obtained based on the corresponding calculation model (; ). For instance, the failure rate of the product was estimated using the chi-square stepwise method, and the MTBF of the product was obtained by taking its reciprocal. The failure rate λ, represents the number of failures; is the chi-square distribution value under the confidence coefficient . The calculation model is
Based on when the methods were proposed, acceleration models can be classified as physical, empirical, or statistical. The physical acceleration model was proposed based on the chemical explanation for product failure. A typical physical acceleration model is the Arrhenius model (; ), which describes the relationship between product life and temperature stress. The Arrhenius model () is often used in engineering for the accelerated life model under temperature stress:where represents the pseudo-lifetime following the distribution or the coefficients of the degradation model in which the characteristic values of the degradation amount conform, A is a constant, E is the activation energy and is related to the material, K is the Boltzmann constant, and T is the absolute temperature. The logarithm of both sides of the expression is
Among them, .
We selected four samples for steady-state life tests. After 1,000 h, no significant abnormalities were observed in the die appearance, and the die testing was qualified; two samples were selected for temperature cycling tests. After the test, no significant abnormalities were observed in the die appearance, and the die testing was qualified. According to the specifications of this bare die, its electrostatic discharge sensitivity level was 1°C. Two samples were selected, and an ESD (HBM) voltage of 1000 V was applied to the bare die for testing. During the test, there were no abnormalities in the die, and it passed the 1000 V screening test with qualified results.
The equipment components had to be subject to such mechanical environmental stresses as impact, vibration, and acceleration for the stages of transportation, launch, operation, and return. Components may generate electrical noise, electrical parameter drift, or other abnormal parameter phenomena in a vibrating environment. Mechanics-related tests include sweep frequency vibration (), mechanical shock, centrifugal tests, and vibration fatigue (). Based on the mechanical environment confirmation and evaluation test items and conditions that the components experienced, we evaluated the mechanical environment adaptability of the components in practical applications ().
4.3 Assembly adaptability for bare dies
To investigate the adaptability of typical assembly processes for the bare die, it was assembled according to typical application methods. After assembly, the bonding strength and die shear force were evaluated. Simultaneously, environmental adaptability after assembly, such as temperature and mechanical conditions, were verified through tests like thermal cycling and vibration to ensure reliability.
To analyze the application environment of the bare die, a typical multilayer mixed-pressure board was used as the circuit substrate. After cleaning and drying the substrate, the bare die was cured in an oven at 150°C. Post-curing, the substrate was placed on the heated platform of appropriate equipment for gold wire bonding.
After the bonding process, the substrate was placed on the worktable of a push–pull force tester. The gold wire pull strength of the die was measured first, followed by the push–pull force test of the die. The failure values of the 25-μm-diameter gold wire pull strength for the four samples are shown in Table 3; the minimum failure value of the gold wire pull strength was 5.668°gf, meeting the requirement for the minimum pull force failure value (3.0°gf).

Tensile failure values of gold wire for four samples (unit: gf).
In the die thrust test, the minimum failure thrust value was 9.817 kg. The die was 2141 μm × 1610 μm in size, covered an area of 3.45 mm2, and satisfied the shear strength requirements.
Following typical assembly, the bare die successfully underwent temperature cycling, random vibration, and shock tests, with the system operating normally and all performance metrics adhering to design specifications.
5 Summary
Based on the demand for high reliability, high performance, low cost, and short equipment cycle, the application of bare dies has become a new focus. Based on the selection control and reliability risk analysis of bare die applications, a reliability evaluation plan was needed before using a bare die for the first time. The evaluation tests assessed the functions, performance, reliability, and environmental adaptability of the dies, ensuring quality control when selecting a bare die for equipment. Before installing and applying bare dies on equipment, it is essential to implement quality control over their design and manufacturing processes to ensure inherent reliability. A first-time application should be combined with typical equipment for reliability evaluation. After additional selection and other quality assurance measures, trial applications can be conducted. Post-installation, the equipment will undergo environmental testing. During this process, further analysis will be required to understand the degradation of bare die packaging.
