Interface strength, however, is heavily dependent on mode mixity. Accurately predicting delamination therefore requires a material model that includes the mode dependency of interface strength. A novel test setup is designed which allows mixed mode delamination testing. The setup is a stabilized version of the mixed mode bending test previously described by Reeder and Crews (1990; 1991). It allows for the measurement of stable crack growth over the full range of mode mixities, using a single specimen design. The crack length, necessary for calculation of the energy release rate, is obtained from an analytical model. Crack length and displacement data are used in a finite element model containing a crack tip to calculate the mode mixity","PeriodicalId":194969,"journal":{"name":"56th Electronic Components and Technology Conference 2006","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130652280","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, to overcome some of the drawbacks inherent to drop testing systems, the applicability of large amplitude vibration test to reliability assessment has been investigated by comparing the vibration behaviors and failure modes of component boards in the two tests. The component boards and the drop test parameters are in accordance with the JESD22-B111 standard and the parameters of the vibration test are adjusted to produce equivalent loading. The drop and vibration tests were compared by evaluating first the loading conditions with the finite-element method as well as experimentally. The results show that by applying the harmonic vibration loadings to component boards at their natural resonance frequencies very similar loading to drop testing can be achieved even though there are some differences in the bending behavior of the boards during testing. The vibration amplitude was found to be the key parameter determining the type of failure mode in the vibration test. The failure modes in the vibration test were found to be the same as those in the drop test: failure of the reaction layers on the component and board side of the solder interconnections and failure of the resin coated copper layers of the printed wiring boards. In addition, failures of copper traces were observed in vibration tested assemblies. The cracking of the bulk solder was observed with small vibration amplitudes (2.3 mm), but the failure mode changed to intermetallic cracking -as in drop testing - once the vibration amplitude was increased to 4.7 mm. According to the results of this study the vibration test can be employed in studying failure modes and mechanisms under shock loading conditions","PeriodicalId":194969,"journal":{"name":"56th Electronic Components and Technology Conference 2006","volume":"158 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124493091","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}

Laser wavelengths, such as green light, which cannot be generated by a single native semiconductor laser source, can be obtained using the nonlinear susceptibility of many optical materials. For green laser sources capable of high speed modulation, the combination of a quasi-phase-matched second harmonic generation (SHG) waveguide device and a single-wavelength distributed-Bragg-reflector (DBR) laser diode is promising. The wavelength conversion efficiency of a SHG is strongly dependent on the wavelength matching between the DBR laser diode and the SHG device, posing a significant challenge in green laser packaging. It is desired that the wavelength matching is achieved at high efficiency and thus low power consumption.

In particular, we highlight recent developments on high capacitance, large area, thin film passives, their integration in PWB substrates and the reliability of the embedded capacitors. A variety of nanocomposite thin films ranging from 2 microns to 25 microns thick were processed on PWB substrates by liquid coating or printing processes. SEM micrographs showed uniform particle distribution in the coatings. The electrical performance of composites was characterized by dielectric constant (Dk), capacitance and dissipation factor (loss) measurements. Nanocomposites resulted in high capacitance density (10-100 nF/inch2) and low loss (0.02-0.04) at 1 MHz. The manufacturability of these films and their reliability has been tested using large area (13 inch times 18 inch or 19.5 inch times24 inch) test vehicles. Reliability of the test vehicles was ascertained by IR-reflow, thermal cycling, PCT (pressure cooker test) and solder shock. Capacitors were stable after PCT and solder shock.

For example, IBM introduced multi-chip modules (MCMs) in the 1970's, thermal conduction modules (TCMs) in the 1980's, and advanced organic micro-via buildup-layer packages in the 1990's (Patel, 2005). Typically, MCMs are necessary to provide significant increases in bandwidth between chips on the module, compared to the alternative route of lower bandwidth resulting from chip-to-chip interconnects going through the printed circuit board (PCB) for single chip modules (SCMs). CMOS chip-to-package pad scaling gap has been growing compared to the package-to-printed circuit board (PCB) pad scaling, which is the reason for the I/O advantage of MCMs vs. SCMs. For example, today's mainstream IC-to-package flipchip bonding uses 0.1 mm square pads on 0.2 mm pitch, with 0.15 mm ramping up, while the package-to-PCB ball- or land grid array (BGA or LGA) pitch uses 1-mm pitch, an areal density as much as 64 times lower. However, even with the larger bandwidth advantage of MCMs, more complex chips such as multiprocessor cores and the need for higher bandwidth to memory cache require a relatively larger number of signal I/Os, as well as more power and ground I/Os. Faster I/O clocks further exacerbate the need for more package I/O by forcing the transition from previous single-ended I/Os to differential signal I/Os to satisfy the higher frequency bit error rate specifications on SMP buses. Our goal is to alleviate the I/O bottleneck at the packaging level in the most cost effective manner, while providing the lowest risk, most flexible development package. To this end, we present our work on an electrical LGA field replaceable package with optical components. These optical components enable larger I/O bandwidth density between the MCM and PCB than that allowed by a standard electrical package","PeriodicalId":194969,"journal":{"name":"56th Electronic Components and Technology Conference 2006","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134146052","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}
