The rapid technological advancements and market demands in electronic sector requires application of highly accelerated, still practice relevant reliability assessment methods. At present, accelerated power and temperature cycling tests count as the state of the art for qualification of the devices. However due to physical characteristics of the devices, there are limitations to accelerated thermal...
Despite all the today's effort, devices and systems that underwent the highly popular highly-accelerated-life-testing (HALT), passed the existing qualification tests (QT) and survived the burn-in testing (BIT), often fail in the field. Are these tests, specifications and practices adequate? If not, could they be improved to an extent that for a product that passed the QT and survived the appropriate...
In this paper, a printed circuit board (PCB) carrying surfacemounted devices (SMD) subjected to impact or vibration loads applied to its support contour is considered. A model-based prognosis approach is employed to assess the remaining useful life (RUL) of the ball-grid-array (BGA) solder joint interconnections. The approach deals with the interaction (coupling) of the “fast” PCB vibration model...
