Partially-constrained thermomechanical fatigue of eutectic tin-bismuth/copper solder joints

Small bimetallic load-frames with reference assembly stiffness, k′, and fully-constrained shear strain, γ_fc, were used to simulate the thermo-mechanical conditions experienced by eutectic Bi-42wt.%Sn-to-Cu solder joints. Shear stress and strain were induced in the solder joint by a 45-minute, 0 to 100°C temperature cycle and were calculated from the assembly temperature, joint configuration, and measured elastic strain in the load-frame. Early in cycling, a hysteresis loop representing the maximum stress range and minimum strain range was reached. As damage accumulated in the solder, the stress range decreased and the strain range increased. The TMF life of the joints, defined by the load range drop, Φ, as a function of k′ and γ_fc, can be determined, defining an effective plastic strain range which allows data for various stiffnesses and thermal expansion mismatches to be summarized on a single Coffin-Mansion plot. The effective plastic strain range also provides an important link to conventional low cycle fatigue (LCF) data taken from an infinitely stiff load-frame.

Flip chip solder joint reliability analysis using viscoplastic and elastic-plastic-creep constitutive models

Both elastic-plastic-creep and viscoplastic constitutive models may be used for inelastic deformation analysis of solder joints. In this paper, a phenomenological approach using elastic-plastic-creep analysis and an Anand viscoplastic model is reported for solder joint reliability. Flip chip soldered assemblies with 63Sn-37Pb solder joints were subjected to a thermal cyclic loading condition of -40 to +125/spl deg/C to assess the solder joint fatigue performance. In the finite-element modeling, the viscoplastic strain energy density per cycle obtained from the viscoplastic analysis is compared with the inelastic (plastic and creep) strain energy density per cycle calculated from the elastic-plastic-creep analysis. The inelastic (plastic+creep and viscoplastic) strain energy density extracted from the finite-element analysis results, at the critical solder joint location, were used as a failure parameter for solder fatigue models employed. It was found that the predicted solder joint fatigue life has a better correlation to the first failure or first-time-to-failure result.

Thermally induced deformation of solder joints in real packages: Measurement and analysis

The paper presents a hybrid experimental and analytical approach to track the deformation of solder joints in an electronic package subject to a thermal process. The solder joint strain is directly measured using a computer vision technique. The strain measurement is analyzed following an approach that is devised based on an established solder constitutive relation. The analysis leads to the determination of the solder joint stress and in turn, to the separation of the elastic, plastic and creep strain from the measured total strain. The creep strain rate and stress–strain hysteresis loop are also obtained. Two case studies are presented to illustrate the applications and to show the viability of the approach. Each case involves a resistor package with SAC (Sn95.5Ag3.8Cu0.7) solder joints, which is subjected to a temperature variation between ambient and 120 °C. The results confirm that shear is a dominant strain component in such solder joints. The shear strain varies nearly in phase with the temperature whereas the shear stress exhibits a different trend of variation due to stress relaxation. The peak shear stress of around 10 MPa to 15 MPa are found, which occur at near 70 °C in both cases, when the temperature ramps up at approximately 3 °C/min. The creep shear strain goes up to 0.02 and accounts for over 80% of the total shear strain. The creep strain rate is in the order of magnitude of 10⁻⁵ s⁻¹. Responding to the temperature cycling with such moderate rate, the creep strain shows modest ratcheting while the stress–strain hysteresis stabilizes in two cycles.     

Thermal cycling reliability of SnAgCu and SnPb solder joints: A comparison for several IC-packages

This paper deals with a comparison study between SnPb and SnAgCu solder joint reliability. The comparison is based on non-linear finite element modelling. Three packages have been selected: silicon CSP, underfilled flip chip and QFN package. Also the effect of thermal cycling conditions has been investigated. Comparing the induced inelastic strains in the solder joint, the lead-free SnAgCu generally scores better thanks to the lower creep strain rate. On the other hand for the CSP and flip chip package, SnAgCu scores worse for the more extreme loading conditions when the inelastic dissipated energy density is selected as damage parameter. The main reason is that due to the lower creep strain rate, the stresses become higher for SnAgCu resulting in higher hysteresis loops with more dissipated energy per cycle. For the QFN package, SnAgCu scores much better.     

Stacked solder bumping technology for improved solder joint reliability

Solder joint failure is a serious reliability concern in flip-chip and ball grid array packages of integrated-circuit chips. In current industrial practice, the solder joints take on the shape of a spherical segment. Mathematical calculations and finite element modeling have shown that hourglass-shaped solder joints would have the lowest plastic strain and stress during a temperature cycle, thus the longest lifetime. In an effort to improve solder joint reliability, we have developed a stacked solder bumping technique for fabricating triple-stacked hourglass-shaped solder joints. This solder bumping technology can easily control the solder joint shape and height. The structure of triple-stacked solder joints consists of an inner cap, middle ball and outer cap. The triple-stacked solder joints are expected to have greater compliance than conventional solder joints and are able to relax the stresses caused by the coefficient of thermal expansion mismatching between the silicon chips and substrates since it has a greater height. Furthermore, the hourglass-shaped solder joints are to have a much lower stress/strain concentration at the interface between the solder joint and the silicon die as well as at the interface between the solder joint and substrate than barrel-shaped solder joints, especially around the corners of the interfaces. In this paper, the solder bumping process is designed and joint reliability is evaluated. Mechanical tests have been carried out to characterize the adhesion strength of the solder joints. The interfaces of the solder joints are investigated by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis. Temperature cycling results show that the triple-stacked hourglass-shaped solder joints are more reliable than the traditional spherical-shaped solder joints.
