For some time, this topic has already concerned the aerospace industry during their fatigue tests of light structures made of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) under various loading modes. More recently, the issue has also become of great relevance to applications in microelectronics and micro/nano system technologies. Following the More-than-Moore development strategy, substrates and new innovative structural parts of those systems are exposed to complex and very challenging service conditions (e.g., implantable bio-medical, aeronautic, or automotive applications). In this paper, a new approach to accelerated testing highlighted in open literature has been assessed with respect to its potential for determining the fatigue behavior of composite materials used in microelectronics and micro/nano system technologies.","PeriodicalId":115489,"journal":{"name":"2011 12th Intl.

Michel","doi":"10.1109/ESIME.2011.5765801","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ESIME.2011.5765801","url":null,"abstract":"As a consequence of increasing functional density and miniaturization in microelectronics new low-k and ultra-low-k materials are going to be increasingly used in Back-end of line (BEoL) layers of advanced CMOS technologies. These ongoing trends together with the transition to the use of TSVs for 3D-IC-integration cause novel challenges for reliability analysis and prediction of relevant electronics assemblies. The optimization of fracture and fatigue resistance of those BEoL structures under manufacturing/packaging (during lead-free reflow-soldering, in particular) as well as chip package interaction (CPI) aspects is a key for further enhancements - see also [1]. In particular in this context the evaluation of the risk of delamination at bi-material interfaces and damaging and cracking of materials needs to be improved. The application of advanced finite element techniques combined with experimental observations and validations, provide a way to gain more fundamental knowledge and ultimately, to understand, predict and prevent reliability issues. However, cracking and delamination risk evaluations hang behind the needs - especially for nonlinear, transient, thermal loading of bi-material interface fracture. At this point, the correct mode mixity separation at bi-material interface cracks is a precondition for proper delamination risk evaluation. However, different approaches are known to be dependent on mesh density, integration path and/or reference length. We discuss the use of VCCT and integral fracture concepts for bulk and bi-material interface fracture in multi-scale and multi-failure modeling approaches. Energy release rate (ERR), stress intensity factors (SIF) and the related phase angles as results of the different approaches will be investigated and compared. Analytic relations between them will be pointed out and verified. Therefore, the frequently investigated role of reference length, normalizing length and path dependence for the calculation of the fracture parameters is discussed. Effects on the fracture parameters are finally discussed related to the cracking risk of BEoL structures. The authors combine these numerical approaches with experimental results in order to optimize the toughness for bulk material fracture and interface delamination with regard to structural modifications.","PeriodicalId":115489,"journal":{"name":"2011 12th Intl.

The analysis of moisture diffusion using normalized moisture concentration is re-examined under various conditions, and the applicability of the thermal-moisture analogy is discussed. Effective stress concept is introduced to consider the effect of vapor pressure in the development of a continuum mechanics framework. It turns out that the volumetric strains consist of three parts: thermal expansion (or contraction), hygroscopic swelling, and vapor pressure-induced volumetric strains. Void volume fraction is introduced as a field variable to describe the damage progression. The evolution of void volume fraction is governed by the continuity equation. Vapor pressure is considered as another internal field variable, which is related to moisture evaporation. A complete set of multi-field governing equations are developed. A simplified process, which allows the coupled problem to be solved sequentially, is defined. A bi-material assembly is used to illustrate the multi-field solutions using ANSYS.","PeriodicalId":115489,"journal":{"name":"2011 12th Intl.

The process consists of cutting the package in some axes in order to create different stress zones. We study the package before and after cutting by TDM, which provides us the deformation history of the package. Then we also use SAM, a process which allows debonding localisation.

The technique is intended for condition monitoring in high reliability applications where the knowledge of impending failure is critical and the risks in terms of loss-of-functionality are too high to bear. Future state of the system has been estimated based on a second order Kalman Filter model and a Bayesian Framework. The measured state variable has been related to the underlying interconnect damage in the form of inelastic strain energy density. Performance of the prognostication health management algorithm during the vibration test has been quantified using performance evaluation metrics. The methodology has been demonstrated on leadfree area-array electronic assemblies subjected to vibration. Model predictions have been correlated with experimental data. The presented approach is applicable to functional systems where corner interconnects in area-array packages may be often redundant. Prognostic metrics including α-λ metric, sample standard deviation, mean square error, mean absolute percentage error, average bias, relative accuracy, and cumulative relative accuracy have been used to assess the performance of the damage proxies. The presented approach enables the estimation of residual life based on level of risk averseness.","PeriodicalId":115489,"journal":{"name":"2011 12th Intl.
