This type of lighting system uses LED assemblies of two or more colours each controlled by separate driver channels that independently adjust the current levels to achieve the desired lighting colour. Drivers used in TWL devices are inherently more complex than those found in simple SSL devices, due to the number of electrical components in the driver required to achieve this level of control. The reliability of such lighting systems can only be studied using accelerated stress tests (AST) that accelerate the aging process to time frames that can be accommodated in laboratory testing. This paper describes AST methods and findings developed from AST data that provide insights into the lifetime of the main components of one-channel and multi-channel LED devices. The use of AST protocols to confirm product reliability is necessary to ensure that the technology can meet the performance and lifetime requirements of the intended application.","PeriodicalId":174615,"journal":{"name":"2017 18th International Conference on Thermal, Mechanical and Multi-Physics Simulation and Experiments in Microelectronics and Microsystems (EuroSimE)","volume":"354 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132617046","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}

LED is a typical multidisciplinary system that transfers electrical input into photonic output, and lifetime prediction is a must for new electronic device before releasing to market. The lifetime feature of LED systems is closely connected to the power, thermal, and optical parameters, but there is rare method concerning all these features to conduct lifetime prediction. In this paper, an original concept, Lumen Impulse (referred as LI), is proposed, which combines the lifetime and performance parameters together to indicate the accumulation of luminous flux in the time domain. With LI being regarded as an objective function, multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) method is employed to solve the coupling formulas, the lifetime with higher precision can be obtained subsequently. The impacts of certain design parameters in LED systems on the lifetime and LI are discussed to present suggestions for the enhancement of lifetime performance of the LED systems. This research result will be helpful for manufactures and designers to predict the lifetime with higher accuracy and determine a most qualified operating point of LED systems.","PeriodicalId":174615,"journal":{"name":"2017 18th International Conference on Thermal, Mechanical and Multi-Physics Simulation and Experiments in Microelectronics and Microsystems (EuroSimE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121276984","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}

A physics-of-failure based reliability prediction methodology is combined with statistical models to consider the interaction between the lumen depreciation and the catastrophic failure. Electronic-thermal simulations are utilized to obtain operation conditions, including temperature and current. Meanwhile, statistical models are applied to calculate possibilities of the catastrophic failure in different operation conditions.","PeriodicalId":174615,"journal":{"name":"2017 18th International Conference on Thermal, Mechanical and Multi-Physics Simulation and Experiments in Microelectronics and Microsystems (EuroSimE)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121319633","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}

In this work, it was discovered that the change in wire material has a higher impact to back end of line (BEOL) structure's first principal stress compared to the change in the low-k dielectric material properties.","PeriodicalId":174615,"journal":{"name":"2017 18th International Conference on Thermal, Mechanical and Multi-Physics Simulation and Experiments in Microelectronics and Microsystems (EuroSimE)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128257748","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}

However, with a small bonding area, there will be a concern on high thermal resistance during working condition, especially under a surge current, in which junction temperature may be higher than the melting temperature of soft solder, i.e. 298 °C, resulting in a potential concern of package reliability. Therefore, design optimization has to be done to reduce the risk on reliability as low as possible. In this study, different clip designs are proposed and effect of clip tip, die pad size and die size on junction temperature under surge test are studies. Simulation data show that clip design is the only key for device to pass surge test without any soft solder melting issue. A clip design guideline is thereafter provided with that making clip tip small as possible for better view inspection and solder flux cleaning, but also keeping a good thermal performance to pass surge test without reliability concerns.","PeriodicalId":174615,"journal":{"name":"2017 18th International Conference on Thermal, Mechanical and Multi-Physics Simulation and Experiments in Microelectronics and Microsystems (EuroSimE)","volume":"379 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121405131","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}

Under the negative E-field and compressive strain, the bandgaps of the AAI-stacking show a near-linear and linear decrease behavior respectively, whereas the response of the bandgaps to the positive E-field and tensile strain displays a dramatic and monotonous decrease relationship.
