Effect of Hold Time on Low Cycle Fatigue Life of Micro Solder Joint
نویسندگان
چکیده
Effect of holding time and temperature on the fatigue life of micro Sn-Ag-Cu solder joint has been studied with waveform of triangle and trapezoid wave at 298K and 398K. Both the microstructural coarsening and the crack propagation occurred simultaneously and therefore the cyclic load decreased rapidly in the trapezoidal wave at 398K compared with the other conditions. Therefore, under the condition of waveform that includes holding time at high temperature, it is necessary to define fatigue life by considering crack length, although the load drop life definition is typically employed for the low cycle fatigue evaluation. The fatigue life of Sn-Ag-Cu micro solder joints is not strongly affected by temperature and holding time when the crack length is considered to define fatigue life. This is different form the trends in large scale bulk specimen and is attributed to the peculiar microstructure of the Sn-Ag-Cu. [doi:10.2320/matertrans.MF200852]

Low Cycle Fatigue Testing of Ball Grid Array Solder Joints under Mixed-Mode Loading Conditions
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 g...

In this paper the influence of the temperature cycle time history profile on the fatigue life of ball grid array (BGA) solder joints is studied. Temperature time history in a Pentium processor laptop computer was measured for a three-month period by means of thermocouples placed inside the computer. In addition, pentium BGA packages were subjected to industry standard temperature cycles and als...

متن کاملDamage Accumulation under Repeated Reverse Stressing of Sn-Ag Solder Joints
To better understand the effect of repeated reverse stress in solder joints, a new testing method was developed. Tin-silver solder joints were fabricated, constrained between Cu blocks, and then subjected to repeated shear loading in a tensile tester. Constant strain amplitudes were applied to simulate service conditions. However, large loads were used to accelerate the damage accumu lation. M...

A solder fatigue model for the 63Sn/Pb solder alloy has been previously introduced which characterizes the creep fatigue phenomena of the solder by combining nonlinear finite element modelling with experimental thermal fatigue lives of various flip chip assemblies. The model correlates the amount of creep strain energy dissipated per thermal cycle with the characteristic Weibull life of the cri...
