Thermomigration induced degradation in solder alloys
نویسندگان
چکیده
Miniaturization of electronics to the nanoscale brings new challenges. Because of their small size and immense information and power processing capacity, large temperature gradients exist across nanoelectronics and power electronics solder joints. In this paper, a fully coupled thermomechanical-diffusion model is introduced to study the thermomigration induced strength degradation. A nonlinear viscoplastic material model with kinematic and isotropic hardening features is utilized. The model takes into account microstructural evolution of the material. A grain coarsening capability is built into the model to study its influence on thermomigration in solder alloys. The model is validated by comparing the simulation results with experimental data. © 2008 American Institute of Physics. DOI: 10.1063/1.2943261

Competing mechanisms of electromigration and thermomigration in flip chip SnAgCu (SAC) solder joints was studied experimentally. A chain of solder joints were stressed at 2.0 × 10 Amps/cm, 2.4 × 10 Amps/cm, and 2.8 × 10 Amps/cm current density at room temperature. In the test vehicle, some solder joints were exposed to a combination of electromigration and thermomigration, while some others wer...

Miniaturization of electronics to nanoscale leads to significantly higher current density levels and larger thermal gradients in electronics packaging. Laboratory test data show that thermomigration plays a significant role in high current density induced failure in solder joints and interconnects. In this paper, a computational damage mechanics model for thermomigration process is proposed and...

Electromigration and thermomigration reliability of Sn96.5%Ag3.0%Cu0.5 (SAC305 by weight) solder joints under alternating current is studied experimentally with the maximum current density from 2.1 10 A/cm to 1.76 10 A/cm, and frequency from 100 kHz to 4 MHz. During the experiment, hot spots are observed at current crowding corners and the skin layer of solder joints. As a result, highly locali...

The mechanism behind the electromigration and thermomigration failure in flip-chip solder joints with Cu-pillar bumps was investigated in this paper through using finite element method. Hot spot and the current crowding occurrs in the upper corner of copper column instead of solders of the common solder ball. The simulation results show that the change in thermal gradient is noticeable, which m...
