Fatigue fracture of SnAgCu solder joints by microstructural modeling
نویسندگان
چکیده
The ongoing miniaturization trend in the microelectronic industry enforces component sizes to approach the micron, or even the nano scale. At these scales, the underlying microstructural sizes and the geometrical dimensions are comparable. The increasing influence of microscopic entities on the overall mechanical properties makes conventional continuum material models more and more questionable. In this study, the thermomechanical reliability of lead-free BGA solder balls is investigated by microstructural modeling.Microstructural input is provided by orientation imagingmicroscopy (OIM), converted into a finite element framework. Blowholes in BGA solder balls are examined by optical microscopy and a statistical analysis on their size, position and frequency is conducted. Combining the microstructural data with the appropriate material models, three dimensional local models are created. The fatigue life of the package is determined through a critical solder ball. The thermomechanical reliability of the local models are predicted using cohesive zone based fatigue damagemodels. The simulation results are validated by statistical analyses provided by the industry. M. Erinc (B) · T. M. Assman · P. J. G. Schreurs · M. G. D.

Investigation of the Lead-free Solder Joint Shear Performance
Reflow profile has significant impact on solder joint performance because it influences wetting and microstructure of the solder joint. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of reflow profile and thermal shock on the shear performance of eutectic SnPb (SnPb) and Sn3.0Ag0.5Cu (SAC305) solder joints. Test boards were assembled with four different sized surface mount chip resisto...
