In this paper, a piecewise normalization approach is proposed to simulate moisture sensitivity test with both preconditioning absorption and reflow desorption phases. A bi-material model with analytical solutions is used to validate the modeling approach. It is shown that the moisture concentration using proposed modeling approach can be correlated well with analytical solutions in both preconditioning absorption and reflow desorption phases. The modeling approach then has been applied to a 3D RF module, a typical system in package, to effectively obtain distribution of moisture concentration which is one of key parameters in calculation of moisture induced hygroscopic stress and vapor pressure induced stress and thus the moisture induced risk can be quickly assessed in early product development for optimal design to achieve a goal of design for reliability.","PeriodicalId":152004,"journal":{"name":"2010 11th International Thermal, Mechanical & Multi-Physics Simulation, and Experiments in Microelectronics and Microsystems (EuroSimE)","volume":"302 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122991057","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}

It is generally agreed that broader temperature range and higher mean temperature should result in shorter thermal fatigue life. Yet, people have different opinions on the selection of the ramp rate and the dwell time. It was believed that the ramp rate has little influence on the solder joint thermal fatigue life. Emphasis has been put on the design of a suitable dwell time. Therefore, the JEDEC and the IPC standards did not impose strict requirements on the selection of the ramp rate. On the other hand, a certain range of dwell times were recommended. Nevertheless, there were publications showing that the ramp rate may be important and, in some situations, may even overrule the dwell time. This study attempts to investigate in detail the creep damage accumulation inside the solder joint during the ramp time and the dwell time for all practical loading conditions. Based on numerous computational simulation results, the present study reveals that there actually exist two types of creep damage accumulation. One of them corresponds to a “mild” loading condition where the creep damage is mostly accumulated during the dwell time. Another one corresponds to a “severe” loading condition in which the ramp time contributes most of the creep damage accumulation.","PeriodicalId":152004,"journal":{"name":"2010 11th International Thermal, Mechanical & Multi-Physics Simulation, and Experiments in Microelectronics and Microsystems (EuroSimE)","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123499599","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 phenomenon can only be addressed by technology modifications, not by design. A 1 bar hydrostatic pressure aggravates this issue slightly. This addition can be addressed by design modifications. A hydrostatic pressure of 90 bar necessitates large design modifications, in particular a dense array of pillars.","PeriodicalId":152004,"journal":{"name":"2010 11th International Thermal, Mechanical & Multi-Physics Simulation, and Experiments in Microelectronics and Microsystems (EuroSimE)","volume":"239 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122933385","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}

It is generally recognized as the major cause of the failure of solder bumps and electrodes in microelectronics industry. The aim of the study is to investigate the elastic mechanical properties of orthorhombic Cu3Sn crystal by way of molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and dynamic nanoindentation testing. In the MD simulations, the force field between atoms is modeled with the modified embedded atom method (MEAM). Based on the continuum mechanics assumption, the elastic stiffnesses of the Cu3Sn can be derived from the calculated energy, and then, used in the generalized Hook's law in compliance form to calculate the associated mechanical properties. Further, using the Voigt-Reuss bounds and Voigt-Reuss-Hill approximation these mechanical properties are averaged for facilitating the comparison with experimental data. Besides, the size-dependent effects on the mechanical properties of the crystal are also assessed. The numerical results show that average bulk modulus, Young's modulus, shear modulus and Poisson's ratio of the orthorhombic Cu3Sn crystal are 128.9 GPa, 132.7 GPa, 49.9 GPa and 0.328, and most importantly, they agree very well with our nanoindentation testing results and those published theoretical/experimental data in literature.","PeriodicalId":152004,"journal":{"name":"2010 11th International Thermal, Mechanical & Multi-Physics Simulation, and Experiments in Microelectronics and Microsystems (EuroSimE)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129084365","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}

To understand the capability of this approach and to assess its accuracy, we compare the failure forecasted through two-scale and three-scale simulations. In the first case we model the response of the device to the shocks at the package level (macroscopic scale) and at the sensor level (mesoscopic scale). In the latter case we also allow for micro-structural features of the polysilicon film constituting the movable parts of the MEMS, so as to track the failure mode. Focusing on a commercial off-the-shelf uniaxial accelerometer subject to drops, results of the three-scale approach show that the micro-cracking leading to failure is confined inside a rather narrow region close to the anchor points. Outcomes of the two-scale approach correctly match this evidence, provided an appropriately defined failure criterion for the anisotropic polysilicon film is adopted. Moreover, the time to failure predicted by the two approaches well agree. Therefore, while the three-scale approach furnishes much insights on the failure mode, the overall response of the sensor appears to be correctly (from an industrial perspective) estimated by the far simpler and more economic two-scale simulations.","PeriodicalId":152004,"journal":{"name":"2010 11th International Thermal, Mechanical & Multi-Physics Simulation, and Experiments in Microelectronics and Microsystems (EuroSimE)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130854363","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}

Improving the thermal conductivity of the heatsink (flange) is one of the effective ways to obtain low thermal resistance (Rth) component. Compared to the silicon transistors, the low-cost, high thermal conductivity material exhibits lower structural stiffness than the flange material which is widely used. A good understanding of the potential failure mechanism in board level reliability is an essential for a robust packaging development. This paper will focus on the board level reliability and modeling technique for bolt down assembly process. A modified three-point bending (3ptB) test method is also used to charcterised the structural stiffness of the packaging. Hence, the model is able to predict the ringframe crack of the particular package design which is under the board level thermal cycling test. Afterwards, impact of the flatness of the application board, flatness of the flange and the pitch of the mounting screws will be described.","PeriodicalId":152004,"journal":{"name":"2010 11th International Thermal, Mechanical & Multi-Physics Simulation, and Experiments in Microelectronics and Microsystems (EuroSimE)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133084350","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}

These processes are most effective in the temperature range of glass transition (Tg), at which the material behavior switches between the glassy and rubbery state and all material parameters change drastically. Additional the viscoelastic material properties are influenced by environmental loading like moisture as it behaves like a plasticizer in the epoxy matrix.","PeriodicalId":152004,"journal":{"name":"2010 11th International Thermal, Mechanical & Multi-Physics Simulation, and Experiments in Microelectronics and Microsystems (EuroSimE)","volume":"304 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131444267","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}
