In addition, even more dramatic evolution has been observed in the creep response of aged solders, where up to 10,000X increases have been observed in the steady state (secondary) creep strain rate (creep compliance). Such degradations in the stiffness, strength, and creep compliance of the solder material are expected to be universally detrimental to reliability of solder joints in electronic assemblies. Traditional finite element based predictions for solder joint reliability during thermal cycling accelerated life testing are based on solder constitutive equations (e.g. Anand viscoplastic model) and failure models (e.g. energy dissipation per cycle models) that do not evolve with material aging. Thus, there will be significant errors in the calculations with lead free SAC alloys that illustrate dramatic aging phenomena. In our current research, we are developing new reliability prediction procedures that utilize constitutive relations and failure criteria that incorporate aging effects, and then validating the new approaches through correlation with thermal cycling accelerated life testing experimental data. In this paper, we report on the first step of that development, namely the establishment of a revised set of Anand viscoplastic stress-strain relations for solder that include material parameters that evolve with the thermal history of the solder material. The effects of aging on the nine Anand model parameters have been examined by performing stress strain tests on SAC305 samples that were aged for various durations (0-6 months) at a temperature of 100 C. For each aging time, stress-strain data were measured at three strain rates (0.001, 0.0001, and 0.00001 1/sec) and five temperatures (25, 50, 75, 100, and 125 C). Using the measured stress-strain data, the Anand model material parameters have been determined for various aging conditions. Mathematical expressions were then developed to model the evolution of the Anand model parameter with aging time. Our results show that 2 of the 9 constants remain essentially constant during aging, while the other 6 show large changes (30-70%) with up to 6 months of aging at 100 C. Preliminary finite element simulations have also shown that the use of the modified Anand model leads to a strong dependence of the calculated plastic work dissipated per cycle on the aging conditions prior to thermal cycling.","PeriodicalId":6384,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 62nd Electronic Components and Technology Conference","volume":"67 1","pages":"513-531"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89411005","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}

Various underfills are widely used in the electronics industry to deal with these challenges, however, the above approaches have some intrinsic shortcomings such as high material costs, low manufacturing assembly rate, poor reworkability and so on. To reduce the cycle time and cost of conventional underfill process, two promising polymeric reinforcement technologies for the next generation array-based package (ABP) application, the so-called edge and corner bond adhesives, have been developed. In this paper, the second level interconnection (SLI) reliability of edge and corner bonded LF package stackable very thin fine pitch ball grid arrays (PSvfBGAs) was systematic studied using package to board interconnection shear, monotonic 4-point bend, 90° free-drop, and thermal cycling tests. Three materials used in this study were a UV-cured acrylic edge bond adhesive (EBA), and thermal-cured epoxy EBA, and a thermal-cured epoxy corner bond adhesive (CBA). Moreover, the PSvfBGAs without bonding were also tested for comparison. The test results indicate that all the bonding materials increase the mechanical performance of SLIs, especially for drop reliability. On the contrary, the thermal fatigue lives of PSvfBGAs with edge bond acrylic and epoxy are reduced by 38.42% and 8.34%, respectively. In addition to the comparison of maximum shear and bend forces, crosshead displacement, principle strain, drops and thermal cycles to failure between the four test groups, the failure modes and mechanisms of SLIs under various test conditions were analyzed as well.","PeriodicalId":6384,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 62nd Electronic Components and Technology Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"965-976"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74227208","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 shows that the addition of phosphorus to lead-free solder results in early solder joint failure. Also, we developed the failure mechanism for this phenomenon, which has not previously been understood. Our study shows that the accumulation of phosphorus in the intermetallic compound (IMC) area during the reflow process results in the formation of a thin porous layer at the interface of the IMC layer and the Ni layer of the BGA ball pad. This thin porous layer adversely affects the bond strength of each solder joint. The failure mechanism was developed in terms of factors such as diffusion, deformation-induced stress, crystal structure, thermal stress, and testing environments. Such factors provide an insight into package reliability with regard to the components used in the package and in-service operating conditions (temperature, time, mechanical structure).","PeriodicalId":6384,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 62nd Electronic Components and Technology Conference","volume":"21 1","pages":"469-476"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73432018","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}
