Alternative materials can be categorized into two main groups: electrically conductive adhesives (polymers) and non-lead solders. Over the past ten years, many non-leaded solders have been developed and introduced to the electronics industry. Despite some success regarding processability, several issues still exist regarding use of these materials as “drop-in” replacements for traditional leaded solders, e.g. eutectic tin-lead. This paper provides an overview of the second alternate material group, i.e. electrically conductive adhesives. An attempt is made to compare characteristics of these materials to the tin-lead benchmark. A summary of key material properties is also included. Finally, a position is presented regarding the approaches taken in evaluating these materials as suitable substitutes for tin-lead eutectic solder. Focus is on applications in surface mount technology (SMT) interconnection since solder is the primary bonding medium for interconnection. In general, these materials are acceptable for most applications. Applications under harsh service and environmental conditions, however, would require evaluation on a case-by-case basis.","PeriodicalId":179094,"journal":{"name":"Packaging of Electronic and Photonic Devices","volume":"112 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127150661","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 paper investigates the effects of polishing pressure and velocity on the material removal rate (RR) and the non-uniformity (NU) in the CMP process. Wear models for CMP process from mechanical aspect, including abrasive-based model and flow-based model, are first discussed. Experiments using different polishing pressures, velocities, and back pressures are then designed and conducted based on the Taguchi method. Experimental results showed that RR and NU are consistent with theoretical models in a certain range. Both RR and NU increase as polishing speed increases. As RR and NU also increase with the polishing pressure at low pressure, their values become saturated and then decrease when the pressure exceeds certain value. It further verified that NU can be improved using proper back pressure as predicted by the flow-based wear model.","PeriodicalId":179094,"journal":{"name":"Packaging of Electronic and Photonic Devices","volume":"113 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132943842","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 viscoplastic stress analysis technique is developed where the critical solder joint(s) (joint(s) at which failure first occurs) are modeled in detail with a multi-domain Rayleigh-Ritz (MDRR) methodology (Ling and Dasgupta, 1996; Ling and Dasgupta 1997; Ling 1997; and Rassian and Lee, 1998) while the load-sharing offered by non-critical joints is modeled with a simplified compact model. This hybrid technique is used to study the behavior of solder interconnects in selected Ball Grid Array (BGA) package under thermal cycling environments. Parametric studies are conducted to determine the optimal scheme for allocating a critical number of solder joints to the MDRR model, and the remaining non-critical joints to the compact models. Damage calculations are made with the Energy Partitioning Solder Durability model (Dasgupta et al., 1992) and cycles-to-failure predictions are compared with both finite element model predictions as well as experimental failure data provided by CALCE EPSC sponsors. Parametric studies on change in solder joint durability with interconnect volume are also discussed in this paper.","PeriodicalId":179094,"journal":{"name":"Packaging of Electronic and Photonic Devices","volume":"23 47","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120836125","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 technique consists of using a phase change material (PCM) combined with a heat sink to dissipate the heat to the ambient. The main advantages of using the PCM include: fully passive technique with no maintenance, no power is required, and relatively low cost. The use of the PCM for more effective thermal management of electronic enclosures is investigated for both the high end cooling (i.e. when the enclosure is exposed to high ambient temperatures) and the low end cooling (i.e. when the enclosure is exposed to very low ambient temperatures). The results from this preliminary theoretical study showed that with the use of a moderate amount of a properly selected PCM combined with the heat sink, the temperature within the enclosure can be maintained within the specified operating range. Potential applications with the use of the PCM include: peak load usage (e.g. during high communications traffic periods), extreme ambient conditions, reduced temperature fluctuations (to improve reliability), and more efficient implementation in smaller size enclosures.","PeriodicalId":179094,"journal":{"name":"Packaging of Electronic and Photonic Devices","volume":"132 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129233656","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 computer simulation is carried out to calculate hysteresis loops at three different strain ranges. The damage-coupled fatigue damage model is applied to predict the cyclic softening behavior of the material and the prediction is found to agree well with the experiment. With a proposed failure criterion based on the concept of damage accumulation, the TMF model is also found to predict successfully the fatigue life of 63Sn-37Pb solder.","PeriodicalId":179094,"journal":{"name":"Packaging of Electronic and Photonic Devices","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126311053","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}
