Yield maximization in multichip hybrid pixel sensors is a crucial issue in large volume productions planned for future High-Energy Physics experiments. Bump bonding process optimization can guarantee statistical single bump failure rates at the acceptable level of 10–100 ppm; nevertheless, systematic effects connected to process repeatability can affect the functionality of a full chip in a module to a much larger extent. Because of this, the reversibility of the bonding procedure has been investigated. A feasibility study on single chip assemblies for the ATLAS experiment has been successfully completed, proving the possibility of reworking. As a result of it, a dedicated facility has been conceptually designed, engineered and commissioned. The characteristics of the facility in terms of motion, temperature and tensile strength control are outlined, together with the main results.

Abstract
Yield maximization in multichip hybrid pixel sensors is a crucial issue in large volume productions planned for future High-Energy Physics experiments. Bump bonding process optimization can guarantee statistical single bump failure rates at the acceptable level of 10–100 ppm; nevertheless, systematic effects connected to process repeatability can affect the functionality of a full chip in a module to a much larger extent. Because of this, the reversibility of the bonding procedure has been investigated. A feasibility study on single chip assemblies for the ATLAS experiment has been successfully completed, proving the possibility of reworking. As a result of it, a dedicated facility has been conceptually designed, engineered and commissioned. The characteristics of the facility in terms of motion, temperature and tensile strength control are outlined, together with the main results.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
