The purpose of the paper is to introduce the method of highly accelerated thermal cycling test for DC/DC converter. Firstly, in order to identify the operating limits and failure of DC/DC converters, an on-line monitoring system was established for some key parameters monitoring, such as output voltage, input current and efficiency. Low temperature limits test and high temperature limits test were performed at first. The temperature was decremented and incremented until the device under test failed or the chamber maximum temperature was reached. The low and high temperature operating limits were obtained and failure mechanisms were identified. Based on the results of low and high temperature limits test, the profile of highly accelerated thermal cycling test was designed, and then the test was performed. The failure modes during highly accelerated thermal cycling test was burn-out of MOSFET. We also investigated the failure mechanisms and found the root causes by using some conventional methods of failure analysis such as optical inspection and SEM&EDS analysis. The burn-out of MOSFET is mainly driven by the degradation of heat dissipation performance. The root cause is the degradation of bond performance between the chip and solder, which was due to solder creep and re-melting under the influence of accelerated thermal cycling stress. The solder crack which would affect the reliability was also found. Finally, for reliability improvement, several suggestions were given.","PeriodicalId":415934,"journal":{"name":"2015 16th International Conference on Electronic Packaging Technology (ICEPT)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134283549","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}

Results show that the temperature of the substrate of LEDs reaches 40°C within 5 minutes when cooling by fins. In the condition of cooling by heat pipe, the cooling effect is little better than by fins. However, the operating temperature is only 25°C when cooling by the combination of the heat pipe and fan. The experiment demonstrates that the cooling in the LED lighting system is very important and heat pipe has excellent cooling capacity only when combination with the fan.","PeriodicalId":415934,"journal":{"name":"2015 16th International Conference on Electronic Packaging Technology (ICEPT)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114394323","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}

As a result, 2.5D package has become a popular way to make the package small, light and multi-functional. This paper focuses on a method to design imitation chip based on 2.5D package. Due to the structure of Virtex-7 which has been researching, it is necessary to design an imitation chip to apply in verifying the encapsulation technology of 2.5D package.

The synthetic conditions of the P(St-AA)/Ag nano-composite particles were studied, and the morphology, structure and thermal properties of the as-prepared particles were investigated. The results show that the silver particles were successfully completely coated on the surface of the polymer cores with a mono sized about 350 nm, and the size of the silver particles is between 20 nm and 80 nm. Conductive patterns were fabricated by silk-screen printing onto the flexible polyimide (PI) substrate using the P(St-AA)/Ag nano-composite particles as conductive fillers.

But thermal resistance degradation, the key factor of heat dissipation in chip bonding solder layer, is studied by few people. The establishment of high-power device model is based on the physical model. When voids appear in the center/corner of the solder layer, the influence of void rate on solder layer reliability, crack growth rate and thermal degradation are analyzed under harsh condition of -55°C~175°C temperature cycle. The study shows: when voids occur in welding layer, the reliability of welding layer decreases from the normal value 5439Cycles. The welding layer with center void will reduce to 1122Cycles, while the welding layer with corner will reduce to 2221Cycles; the crack growth rate increases with the void rate. The crack growth rate with center voids increases more softly, the maximum can reach 2.385×10-4mm/cycle. The crack growth rate with corner voids increases much more sharply, the maximum can reach 2.739×10-4mm/cycle; thermal degradation of center void and corner void are basically same, but maximum of center void can reach 1.12×10-6K/(W·cycle), while for the corner void, the maximum can reach 4.84×10-7K/(W·cycle).","PeriodicalId":415934,"journal":{"name":"2015 16th International Conference on Electronic Packaging Technology (ICEPT)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125244699","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 micro solder joints Cu/Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu(SAC305)/Cu with same volume and different heights (H1=300μm, H2=420μm and H3=520μm) were made for the electromigration test. The results indicated that the consumption of copper element at the solder pad increased with the increase of the height of the solder joints after reflow. In the electro-thermal aging test, the consumption of copper element at the cathode solder pad increased linearly with the increase of stressing time, and the average consumption rate increased with the increase of the height of the solder joints. It is suggested that the solder joints with a higher bump height had a lower dispersion of current density, which resulted in a higher current density in the migration routine of the metal atoms. Current density is the dominant driving force in the process of the electromigration. However, the consumption of copper element at the anode solder pad increased linearly with the increase of the square root of stressing time, and the average consumption rate has the same law with that at the cathode. The numerical simulation was also conducted under the same stressing conditions as the experimental tests. The results revealed that the solder joint with a higher bump height had a lager internal current density, which is consistent with the experimental results.","PeriodicalId":415934,"journal":{"name":"2015 16th International Conference on Electronic Packaging Technology (ICEPT)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125927074","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}
