Tendencies

Assemblies getting smaller and smaller, more and more integrated RoHS consequence : Solder temperature + 34°C Customers: I ncrease junction temperature: 150 -> 175-200°C

Dilem m a

I ncrease of thermal stress, but decrease of space and time for elimination of heat More and more thermal stress is seen by the components

Challenges

Therm al stress

  • Constant temperature : T [ °C]
  • Dynamic situation :

[ °C s-1] (x , y , z)

  • Thermal flux :

[ °C z-1] (x , y ) dT dt Mechanical stress

  • Screwing of PCB
  • Clamping of components in sockets
  • Mechanically fixed and tightened heat sinks

How to characterize the therm o-m echanical behavior :

  • Of an electronic component, before and after assembly ?
  • Of a PCB, before and after soldering of the components ?
  • For different temperatures, and different types of temperature variation

(e.g. during a reflow profile)

  • I n dynamic situations : ON / OFF
  • Under mechanical or thermo-mechanical stress (e.g. component

mounted on a heat sink)

Experimental problem

Scanning acoustic m icroscopy ( SAM)

  • Powerful tool for delamination characterization
  • Consequences of stress only detectable post-mortem
  • No predictive power, no “warning” before failure
  • Only operational at ambient temperature

Therm o-m echanic sim ulation codes

  • Easy access to parameter studies
  • Time demanding
  • Material and interface characteristics often unknown
  • Failure appearance often related to “unknown” effects

Classical development and analysis techniques

Delam ination m ay be considered as a relaxation of stress

  • through formation of cracks

Consequences of stress BEFORE delam ination :

  • Volume deformation in all three directions (x,y,z)
  • These volume deformations cause surface deformations
  • Out of plane deformation : Δz
  • I n-plane deformation : Δx, Δy

THUS : Deform ation is a failure risk indicator Reliability evaluation by TDM
