A Systems Approach to Solder Joint Fatigue in Spacecraft Electronic Packaging

چکیده

Jet Propulsion Laboratory California Institute of Technology Pasadena, CA 91109 Differential expansion induced fatigue resulting from temperature cycling is a leading cause of solder joint failures in spacecraft. Achieving high reliability flight hardware requires that each element of the fatigue issue be addressed carefully. This includes defining the complete thermal-cycle environment to be experienced by the hardware, developing electronic packaging concepts that are consistent with the defined environments, and validating the completed designs with a thorough qualification and acceptance test program. This paper describes a useful systems approach to solder fatigue based principally on the fundamental log-strain vs log-cycles-to-failure behavior of fatigue. This fundamental behavior has been useful to integrate diverse ground test and flight operational thermal-cycle environments into a unified electronics design approach. Each element of the approach reflects both the mechanism physics that control solder fatigue, as well as the practical realities of the hardware build, test, delivery, and application cycle.

Analysis of Solder Joint Reliability in Flip Chip Packages

Fatigue damage of solder joints is a serious reliability concern in electronic packaging. In this study, a flip chip package was modeled to investigate the effects of underfill material properties and BT substrate thickness on solder joint reliability. The CTE was found to have the main effect and matching CTE between underfill and solder joint is the most important consideration in the selecti...

Application of Moiré Interferometry to Determine Strain Fields and Debonding of Solder Joints in BGA Packages

Moiré interferometry (MI) has proven to be a very useful tool for testing the reliability of many different electronic packages. Historically, MI has been used for monotonic thermomechanical loading or steady-state conditions induced strain measurements but never for fatigue testing. Interface failure of microelectronics devices is a significant concern in packaging since it may cause a device ...
