Low Cycle Fatigue Testing of Ball Grid Array Solder Joints under Mixed-Mode Loading Conditions
نویسندگان
چکیده
To give a proper and accurate estimation of the fatigue life of ball grid array (BGA) solder joints, a mechanical fatigue test method under mixed-mode loading is proposed. Experiments were conducted with 63Sn/37Pb and Sn/3.5Ag/0.75Cu solder joints in room temperature. The mechanical low cycle fatigue tests were performed under several loading angles. The loading angle is controlled by several grips which have specific surface angle to the loading direction. Constant displacement controlled tests are performed using a micro-mechanical test apparatus. It was found that the normal deformation significantly affects the fatigue life of the solder joint. Throughout the whole test conditions at room temperature, Sn/3.5Ag/0.75Cu solder alloy had longer fatigue life than 63Sn/37Pb alloy. Failure patterns of the fatigue tests were observed and discussed. A morrow energy model was examined and found to be a proper low cycle fatigue model for solder joints under mixed mode loading condition. DOI: 10.1115/1.1871192

Board Level Reliability Evaluation of Low Silver (ag) Content Lead-free Solder Joints at Low Strain Rates
To improve the durability of lead free solder joints under high strain rates, such as drop and shock loading, some area array manufacturers have converted to low silver (Ag) content tin silver copper (SAC) solder spheres instead of the commonly accepted SAC305 solder. While the lower silver content SAC solder joints may address high strain rate shock loads, the durability of these joints under ...

متن کاملSelecting a Temperature Time History for Predicting Fatigue Life of Microelectronics Solder Joints
Temperature cycling tests are standard industry practice for determining the thermomechanical fatigue life of solder joints. Industry-standard temperature pro¢les usually start from room temperature, then go to a high temperature, then to a cold temperature, and then back to room temperature. In addition, most of the time, the temperature pro¢le contains dwell times at the highest and lowest te...
