It becomes critical due to lead free solder. In this paper, we study the effect of underfills on drop test performance of a fine-pitch ball grid array package (BGA), experimentally and numerically. Failure mode is also compared. There are good correlations between testing and modeling on the effect of underfill on failure modes and failure mechanisms of solder joints. Moreover, the results of testing and modeling show that important parameters affecting drop test performance are position of the package on the board, modulus of the underfill, and, circumstantially, the interfacial fracture toughness of the underfill. An unfilled underfill, as opposed to a silica-filled underfill, can provide satisfactory, or even superior, drop test performance if its interfacial fracture toughness is sufficiently high. The benefit of an unfilled underfill is better processability","PeriodicalId":194969,"journal":{"name":"56th Electronic Components and Technology Conference 2006","volume":"58 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":"114568436","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 mechanical properties of the lead-free solders were assessed from the force-penetration curves measured by nanoindentation testing. These mechanical properties were then used as the input parameters in the simulation based on the Dao's method. In the meantime, the rate sensitivity value in the constitutive model, say sigma = Amiddotepsivdotm for the lead-free solders were also determined by the variable tensile speed methodology. The creep deformation of both solders is the function of the loading rate. The creep deformation behavior during nanoindentation testing at dwell time for Sn3.5Ag0.2Co0.1Ni solder seemed more severe than that for Sn3.5Ag solder. The pile-up phenomenon was more remarkable for Sn3.5Ag0.2Co0.1Ni solder. The simulated plastic deformation under indentation showed that the greatest plastic deformation was beneath the indentation tips for both of the solders.

Finite element analysis (FEA) models were used to analyze the effect of underfill height and width on interfacial stresses in a typical organic flip chip package configuration. Peeling and shearing stresses were computed for a large combination of fillet heights and widths (15 times 16 = 240). Three locations of interest: die bottom corner/underfill, die edge/fillet top and fillet bottom/substrate, were studied. For each location, 3D surface plots were generated to depict the variation of shear/peel stress simultaneously with width and height. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted for the full factorial design of experiments (DOE) to quantify the effect of underfill fillet height and width on the numerically computed shear and peel stresses at each location. Interaction among these variables was permitted and studied, and was found to be significant in some cases. The dominant factor(s) governing interfacial stresses for each location was identified and optimum values recommended.

To assess the SJR in drop shock, electronic packages are generally surface mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB) whose oscillations subject the solder joint to alternating tensile and compressive loads. Many factors may affect solder joint performance in a drop test, such as the component position on the drop test board, the test board parameters (pad definition, solder resist opening, etc.) and the shock pulse. This increases the difficulties in mechanical analysis of these events. Drop testing becomes more challenging than ever as environment-friendly Pb-free solder material replaces Pb based solder. Pb-free solder has been noted (Luke et al, 2005) for increasing the risk in shock due to changes in elastic modulus and IMC strength. The failure mechanism of solder joint in drop test is also diverse. To understand all these phenomena, mechanical modeling and analysis is carried out in this paper. The modeling results have been calibrated through comparison with experiment results. Drop test based on the popular JEDEC (JESD22-B111) board were analyzed to understand the implication of this test to the electronic package. Several observations about the testing method are made, which aid in understanding the drop test results and observations are made as to how this test might be improved. A modeling design of experiment (DOE) was done to study the key structural parameters including solder ball height, package stiffness, package thickness, ball pattern and package dimension. These results are helpful in understanding the package and board design parameters to most impact drop test performance and allow for improved performance by design","PeriodicalId":194969,"journal":{"name":"56th Electronic Components and Technology Conference 2006","volume":"25 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":"125995538","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 addition, package and module size, and form factor become an important aspect for these handhold applications. In this paper, we report the successful design of a smaller size, low loss, and cost effective dual balun for cell, EGSM, DCS & PCS bands (quad band) GSM/EDGE applications. The designed balun can be implemented onto a transceiver module's transmit (Tx) path. The integrated passive device (IPD) baluns show superior performance to commercially available discrete SMT baluns, with a much smaller size. Viable packaging approach is also explored to keep the cost and size low with hardly any penalty to electrical performance. The final smaller size balun design reduces die size, and hence die cost without sacrificing the performance. The size of the quad band GSM balun is 1.2mmtimes1.4mm. Measured insertion loss (IL) and return loss (RL) of the balun for low band - Tx and high band - Tx show IL < 0.8 dB, RL < 12dB. Measured amplitude & phase balance for low band - Tx show amplitude balance < plusmn 0.02 dB, and phase balance < plusmn 0.1 deg.

The thermo-mechanical calculated from coupled-field FEA simulation agree well with the micro graphical evidence. The calculated hygro-mechanical stress increased with the preconditioning time. It was found that the thermo-mechanical stress plays more important role than the hygro-mechanical stress for the development of delamination in the LED packages.
