The explosive growth of high-density packaging has created a tremendous impact on the electronic assembly and manufacturing industry. Ball grid array (BGA), chip-scale package (CSP), and solder-bumped flip chip technologies are taking the lead in this advanced manufacturing process. Many major equipment makers and leading electronic companies are now gearing up for these emerging and advanced packaging technologies. For these technologies, solder is the electrical and mechanical "glue," and thus solder joint reliability is one of the most critical issues in the development of these technologies. This book is a one-stop guide to the state of the art of solder joint reliability problem-solving methods, or choose a creative, high-performance, robust, and cost-effective design and high-yield manufacturing process for their interconnect systems will be able to do so with this unique sourcebook. It meets the reference needs of design, material, process, equipment, manufacturing, quality control, product assurance, reliability, component, packaging, vendor, marketing, and system engineers, and technical managers working in electronic packaging and interconnection. This book is structured to provide readers with the necessary know-how for practical, on-the-job problem-solving guidance. The book covers the solder joint reliability of BGA, CSP, flip chip, and FPT assemblies completely, proceeding from the theoretical basics to applications. Specific areas covered include: Definition of reliability, life distribution, failure rate, mean time to failure, etc.; Some well-known life distributions; Accelerated testing; Parameter estimation of life distributions; Acceleration factors for solders;Solder mechanics: plasticity, creep, and constitutive equations; Design, material, and manufacturing processes of BGA, CSP, flip chip, and FTP; Failure analysis and root cause of failure for BGA, CSP, flip chip, and FPT solder joints; Design for reliability of BGA, CSP, flip chip and FPT solder joints; Solder joint reliability of CBGA, PBGA, DBGA, and TBGA assemblies under thermal fatigue, mechanical bending and twisting, and shock and vibration conditions; solder joint reliability of flip chip (e.g., high-temperature and eutectic solder bumped flip chips on ceramic and PCB) assemblies under thermal fatigue, mechanical pulling, shearing, bending and twisting, and shock and vibration conditions; Solder joint reliability of CSP (e.g., LG Semicon's, Mitsubishi's, Motorola's, Tessera's, NEC's, nitto Denko's and Toshiba's) assemblies under thermal fatigue and mechanical bending conditions; Solder joint reliability of PQFP and TSOP assemblies under thermal fatigue, mechanical bending and twisting, and vibration conditions.
