Evaluation on the applicability of fringe projection profilometry in warpage measurement of semiconductor packages
Abstract
Fringe projection profilometry (FPP), a non-contact measurement method, was utilized to measure the out of plane deformation of small-scale semiconductor packages. The experimental set-up consists of an image acquisition system and an image projection system. Warpage measurements and the surface profile of the object-of-interest were obtained by projecting fringe patterns over the surface of the semiconductor package sample. The surface profile of the object was obtained but modulations present on the obtained surface profile. It was found that decreasing the wavelength of the fringe patterns did not necessarily increase the accuracy of the technique as limited by the set-up itself.
