Failure Modes of Flip Chip Solder Joints Under High Electric Current Density
نویسندگان
چکیده
The failure modes of flip chip solder joints under high electrical current density are studied experimentally. Three different failure modes are reported. Only one of the failure modes is caused by the combined effect of electromigration and thermomigration, where void nucleation and growth contribute to the ultimate failure of the module. The Ni under bump metallization–solder joint interface is found to be the favorite site for void nucleation and growth. The effect of pre-existing voids on the failure mechanism of a solder joint is also investigated fDOI: 10.1115/1.1898338g

Joints under Electric Current Stresses Experimental Damage Mechanics of Micro / Power Electronics Solder
Experimental damage mechanics of flip chip solder joints under current stressing is studied using 20 test vehicle flip chip modules. Three different failure modes are observed. The dominant damage mechanism is caused by the combined effect of electromigration and thermomigration, where void nucleation and growth lead to the ultimate failure of the module. It is observed that thermomigration dri...
متن کاملPb phase coarsening in eutectic Pb/Sn flip chip solder joints under electric current stressing
Experimental research on the Pb phase coarsening of eutectic Pb/Sn flip chip solder joint under current stressing is reported. Phase growth is observed under different current densities and temperatures. Higher current density leads to faster grain coarsening. Based on the test results, a grain coarsening equation including the influence of current density is proposed, dn dn 0 1⁄4 Kjmt. The cur...
متن کاملMechanism of electromigration-induced failure in flip-chip solder joints with a 10-μm-thick Cu under-bump metallization
The electromigration-induced failure in flip-chip eutectic SnPb solder joints with a 10m-thick Cu under-bump metallization (UBM) was studied without the effect of current crowding in the solder region. The current crowding occurred inside the UBM instead of in the solder joint at the current density of 3.0 × 10 A/cm because of the spreading of current in the very thick Cu UBM. In these joints, ...

Au (0.05 μm) 69.4 μm Electromigration may affect the reliability of flip-chip solder joints. Eutectic solder is a two-phase alloy, so its electromigration behavior is different from that in aluminum or copper interconnects. In addition, a flipchip solder joint has a built-in currentcrowding configuration to enhance electromigration failure. To better understand electromigration in SnPb and lead...
