Among the various reliability related concerns in automotive and power electronics, electromigration in solder joints might be one of the least investigated degradation effects. It requires high current densities that usually only occur in small flip chip solder joints. Even if the current densities in power electronic components, like IGBTs (TO 263), cannot be compared with that in ultra small flip...
In order to investigate the time-independent behaviour of solder joints at high strain rates, a test setup was created capable of measuring the force vs. time reaction of small solder joint in shear loading at strain rates between 10 -1 - 104 [1/s]. The paper describes the design of this high strain rate tester. Details providing for the fast and high resolution force measurement are given. The results...
For the last decades, many mechanical measurements on solder alloys were carried out. As a matter of fact, the microstructure of the solder materials is affected by their compositions. In addition, external variables like the reflow cooling rate, solder volume, thermal mass of the package and pad metallization may have an influence. For those reasons the discrepancies of creep measurements on solder...
The paper presents creep data, that was gained on non eutectic SnAgCu-solder specimens with a variety of compositions. The non eutectic SnAgCu-alloys were tested in different specimen sizes: bulk specimens, FBGA solder balls, flip chip solder joints. The results of the creep experiments show that both solder alloy composition and solder joint size have a significant influence of the creep properties...
