Ways to extrapolate fatigue life are demonstrated. Decrease of frequency below 10/sup -2/ Hz is shown to lead to the reduction in the number of cycles to failure. The relation between N/sub f/ and frequency may be described by Eckel's relation. The effect of frequency is a function of strain range; therefore, the frequency-modified Coffin-Manson relation is not applicable to this solder at strains studied. Hold time dramatically reduces the number of cycles to failure and leads to the saturation in the N/sub f/. The method to calculate this limit is developed. The activation energy is a function of cycling conditions. High strain rates and high strain ranges lead to mixed transgranular-intergranular fracture. Activation energy, which is 24-26 kJ/mol. at low strain ranges and at all strain ranges with low strain rates (slow cycling or hold time in the cycle), can be used for isothermal fatigue data extrapolation of this solder.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":102875,"journal":{"name":"40th Conference Proceedings on Electronic Components and Technology","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122071275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Topics covered include fiber coupling and fixing techniques, modular packaging concepts, high-speed component design, and advanced-function components. A high-performance package for lithium niobate modulators that illustrates the packaging concepts outlined is described. It is noted that the greatest challenge to date has been the need to develop new packaging techniques for the precision alignment and fixing of optical devices and fiber to tolerances that are at least an order of magnitude more critical than those encountered in the packaging of conventional electronic devices. The development of new die-bonding techniques has been required for handling unusual materials and large chips, and very-high-speed packaging and interconnection technique are evolving to meet the requirements of high-capacity systems. Other developments include the use of modular techniques for increasing the versatility of packaging technology, and the development of single-package advanced-function devices that simplify the use of optoelectronic devices by incorporating interface and control circuits.

High-density filling with silica helped improve the antipopcorn properties. It is concluded that low-Tg molding compounds have obvious advantages over high-Tg molding compounds in terms of the antipopcorn property. From this study, the authors recommend low-Tg molding compounds that have low-S, low-E, low-Df, and high- sigma properties to protect surface-mount devices from the popcorn phenomenon.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":102875,"journal":{"name":"40th Conference Proceedings on Electronic Components and Technology","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129956241","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The FE models included the geometric and elastic compliance effects associated with the LCCC cavity, Kovar lid, copper solder pads and thermal joints, the orthotropic printed wiring board (PWB), and a constraining thermal core. The effect of nonlinear and rate-dependent constitutive characteristics of the solder alloy on the distribution of cyclic stress, strain, and energy-dissipation behavior was studied. It is shown that the inclusion of rate effects in the material behavior has a paramount effect on the stress, strain, and energy-dissipation predictions. The difference is due to the creep relaxation leading to redistribution of the load, which was not predicted by an elastic-plastic material model alone. Acceleration factors were calculated from the results of analyses performed for an accelerated thermal test cycle case and a specific real-life thermal cycle case.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":102875,"journal":{"name":"40th Conference Proceedings on Electronic Components and Technology","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131106326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
