The authors explore the stiffness and fatigue behavior of such structures. A torsional load tester was devised, exerting cyclic mechanical torque at a desired fixed amplitude and frequency. Twisting loads up into the nonlinear load range were applied. Lead forces were computed by structural analysis methods, and these were compared with finite element results. The Engel-Ling coupled plate theory was found to correspond well to finite element results. Fatigue failures occurred in the solder for J-leads and in the leads for gullwings. Fatigue curves resembled the Coffin-Manson law.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":125270,"journal":{"name":"1992 Proceedings 42nd Electronic Components & Technology Conference","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130135792","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 low thermal resistance permits the system designer to survive the air flow constraint that has been placed on the box by acoustic noise limits and very tight mechanical packaging.

As a result, assembly, through all processes, achieves +or-1.5- mu m precision, which corresponds to a +or-1-dB fluctuation of coupling efficiency.

In the case of Pt/Ag, the failure mode with mounted components was at the conductor/solder interface. The results of the electrical reliability test generally agreed with peel test results. However, when components were soldered to Pd/Ag conductors, vertical cracks were often observed through the conductor at the edge of the solder fillet. These cracks did not correlate with failure modes from peel tests. The tendency to vertical cracking was significantly reduced with the use of a dense firing Pd/Ag composition. No vertical cracks were observed with the Pt/Ag conductor because of the much slower rate of Sn intermetallic formation compared with Pd/Ag conductors. The design windows for both Pd/Ag and Pt/Ag conductors are discussed from the circuit design point of view.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":125270,"journal":{"name":"1992 Proceedings 42nd Electronic Components & Technology Conference","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123806151","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}

This study was conducted with AUDiT Version 4.2, an innovative simulation tool for evaluating the physical design of electronic systems. It is demonstrated that the maximum efficiency of the conventional single-chip PGA module on PWB packaging of state-of-the-art RISC workstations, such as the IBM RS/6000, is only about 14%. The addition of signal layers may improve speed performance for a given PWB design rule, but not beyond the PGA package tiling limit constraint.

There were seven different designs fabricated, five with only passive structures and two with both passive and active structures. These coupons were designed with many different line structures in order to determine the electrical characteristics of HDI at high (>500-MHz) frequencies. A few of the structures used on the coupons and their respective electrical performances are discussed. The analytical tools derived from basic transmission line theory appear adequate to explain observed values of insertion loss, reflection loss, and crosstalk. In addition, the measurements confirmed the commonly accepted values for the electrical parameters of the GE HDI process (dielectric constant, loss tangent, and electrical resistivity). The crosstalk measurements demonstrate that sufficient isolation exists for practical system designs up to frequencies of 9 GHz in the stripline configuration, and even in the less-tolerant microstrip configuration good isolation is obtained without use of excessive spacing or guard conductors. The major limitation at the higher frequencies appears to be the insertion loss, which approaches 10 dB in some of the longer-length lines considered.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":125270,"journal":{"name":"1992 Proceedings 42nd Electronic Components & Technology Conference","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133200013","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}
