A New Creep Constitutive Model for Eutectic Solder Alloy
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this study, a large number of creep tests were carried out to study the effect of stress level and testing temperature on the creep behavior of 63 Sn/37Pb solder in a systematic manner. Based on the dislocation controlled creep mechanism and Gibbs’ free-energy theory, a new creep constitutive model was proposed. The model was found to describe accurately the creep flow of the solder and to be capable of explaining the issues of stress and temperature dependent stress exponent and activation energy in the Arrhenius powerlaw creep model. Furthermore, the model was employed to predict accurately the longterm reliability of solder joints in a PBGA assembly. @DOI: 10.1115/1.1462624#

Fluxless silicon-to-alumina bonding using electroplated Au–Sn–Au structure at eutectic composition
Large 6 mm× 9 mm silicon chips have been successfully bonded to alumina substrates with electroplated Au/Sn/Au structure at the eutectic omposition. The new bonding process is entirely fluxless, or flux-free. It is performed in vacuum (50 milliTorrs), where the oxygen content is educed by a factor of 15,200 comparing to air, to inhibit solder oxidation. Eutectic Au80Sn20 alloy is a well establi...

The near eutectic 60%-40Pb alloy is the most commonly used solder for electrical interconnections in electronic packages. This alloy has a number of processing advantages (suitable melting point of 183°C and good wetting behavior). However, under conditions of cyclic strain and temperature (thermomechanical fatigue), the microstructure of this alloy undergoes a heterogeneous coarsening and fail...
متن کاملA thermodynamics based damage mechanics constitutive model for low cycle fatigue analysis of microelectronics solder joints incorporating size effects
Below certain length scales and in the presence of a non-uniform plastic strain field the mechanical behavior of many metals and its alloys is substantially different from that in bulk specimens. In particular, an increase in resistance with decreasing size has been observed in Pb/Sn eutectic solder alloys which are extensively used in microelectronics packaging interconnects. Due to the high h...
متن کاملThe Effect of Eutectic Structure on the Creep Properties of Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu and Sn-8.0Sb-3.0Ag Solders
Solder joints are the main weak points of power modules used in harsh environments. For the power module of electric vehicles, the maximum operating temperature of a chip can reach 175 ◦C under driving conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to study the high-temperature reliability of solder joints. This study investigated the creep properties of Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu (SAC305) and Sn-8.0Sb-3.0Ag (SSA8...

Sn-Pb eutectic solder alloy is extensively used in microelectronics packaging interconnects. Due to the high homologous temperature, eutectic Sn-Pb solder exhibits creepfatigue interaction and significant time-, temperature-, stress-, and rate-dependent material characteristics. The microstructure is often unstable, having significant effects on the flow behavior of solder joints at high homolo...
