During the printing process, a layer of ink drops would be printed. After that, the printed liquid drops were sintered in an oven to obtain a compact silver layer. Repeat the “printing and sintering” process to form a silver film by a layer-by-layer way. Silver film with several layers was characterized by SEM observation, EDS composition analysis and XRD phase analysis. The result showed that sintered compact of silver film was composed of homogeneously distributed nano-silver particles. The film resistivity was measured by the four-point probe method. The effects of the printed layer number on the film property and the resistivity of the silver sintered compact were studied. The results showed that the film property and the resistivity varied with the number of printed layers. When the number was up to 14, the electric conductivity reached its optimum value 4.8μΩ·cm, and the sintered compact of nano-silver covered 94.5% area of the PET substrate. In the final part of this work, a circuit including LED and printed wires were set up to demonstrate the conductivity of the printed flexible electronics under various conditions.","PeriodicalId":6881,"journal":{"name":"2016 17th International Conference on Electronic Packaging Technology (ICEPT)","volume":"69 1","pages":"1293-1296"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86158930","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}

With increasing the heating rate, the spreading performance of the paste on 6061Al increases, and the tensile strength and shear strength of 6061Al/SAC0307/6061Al solder joints increase observably, which is due to the fact that the activity of the aluminum solder paste increases with the increase of heating rate in reflow process. However, the effects of peak soldering temperature on the solderability of the aluminum solder paste and the reliability of the soldered joints may be negligible. There is no intermetallic compound or transition layer formed at the interface. In addition, the shear strength of the joints increases with the increase of joint thickness because of the less voids formed in the solder matrix.","PeriodicalId":6881,"journal":{"name":"2016 17th International Conference on Electronic Packaging Technology (ICEPT)","volume":"71 1","pages":"1028-1032"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86943280","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 study employed polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) nano-particles as reinforcements for Sn3.5Ag0.5Cu (SAC) solder matrix. It was aimed at investigating the effect of POSS on the microstructure evolution and recrystallization behavior of ball grid array (BGA) solder joints under thermal fatigue. 3wt% POSS were incorporated into Sn3.5Ag0.5Cu (SAC) solder matrix by mechanical ball milling followed by reflow process, and found to be homogeneously dispersed into the solder matrix by EDX analysis. Then, two kinds of different components BGA assemblies were subjected to thermal cycling, and the surface morphology change and orientation evolution of solder joints before and after the thermal shock was respectively characterized by using SEM and EBSD. Experimental results revealed that the microstructure of solder matrix could be markedly refined with the addition of POSS, because of the reinforcements retarded the element diffusion and intermetallic compound aggregation. Vickers hardness has obviously improved, composite solder joint shows a better mechanical properties. After the thermal fatigue test of 928 cycles, at the interfaces extrusion deformation produced, the recrystallization accompanied with initiation and propagation of cracks in the BGA of SAC305 solder joint. But after the addition of nanoparticles, composite solder resulted in less grain boundaries in the same time, and it can prevent the appearance of recrystallization in solder.","PeriodicalId":6881,"journal":{"name":"2016 17th International Conference on Electronic Packaging Technology (ICEPT)","volume":"55 1","pages":"304-309"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87256978","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 the most venerable part of electronic packaging structure, the mechanical reliability of solder joints is greatly relevant to the system reliability of electronic products. The mechanical properties of solder materials have to be reasonably evaluated if numerical simulations are preferred compared with experimental studies. In the present study, a thermo-visco-plastic constitutive model is proposed for both lead-containing and lead-free solders under monotonic and cyclic loading conditions. Due to a simple formulation form and only a few parameters, the proposed thermo-visco-plastic constitutive model can be implemented into finite element software at minor effort and the determination of parameters can be achieved conveniently by regression to experimental data. The validations against experimental data show that the proposed model is capable of well simulating the tensile behavior of various solder materials at different strain rates and working temperatures. In addition, the required parameters in the proposed model are proved to be well defined as good changing patterns are achieved by revealing the intrinsic characteristic properties of solder material under various conditions.","PeriodicalId":6881,"journal":{"name":"2016 17th International Conference on Electronic Packaging Technology (ICEPT)","volume":"39 1","pages":"31-36"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85627097","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 shock test was performed on the mounted PCBA samples, which the same BGA was soldered to PCBs with various resin content, and the dye test was performed to inspect the crack of solder joint. It was found that the resin content had little effect on PCB warpage during the reflow progress, while had a significant influence on the shock performance of solder joint.
