Electromigration in Solder Joints and Solder Lines
نویسنده
چکیده
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-free solder alloys, the authors prepared solder lines in v-grooves etched on Si (001). This article discusses the results of those tests and compares the electromigration failure modes of eutectic SnPb and SnAgCu flip-chip solder joints along with the mean-timeto-failure.

Effect of Grain Orientation on Electromigration in Sn-0.7Cu Solder Joints
smaller devices and reduced form factors with time, resulting in new challenges. Reduction in device and interconnect solder bump sizes has led to increased current density in these small solders. Higher level of electromigration occurring due to increased current density is of great concern affecting the reliability of the entire microelectronics systems. This presentation reviews electromigra...

This work studies the electromigration of solder joints in an encapsulated copper post wafer level package (WLP) by finite element modeling. Experimental data showed that the electromigration failure occurs in solder joints on the printed circuit board (PCB) side due to the current crowding. In order to improve the electromigration performance on the PCB side with a copper post WLP, two new lin...

متن کاملJoints 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...
