Currently in the electronics industry there is a desire to increase component reliability. Fatigue failure in solder joints is an important design consideration for electronic packaging. In through-hole components, fatigue failure of leads has been observed to antecede fatigue failure of solder joints. The main objective of the study for a solder joint in a plated-through-hole bearing the pin during the temperature cycle was to ascertain the thermo mechanical behavior and the dominant deformation mode. The Digital Speckle Correlation (DSC) technique, which is a computer vision technique, was applied for the measurement of solder joint deforamtion for a prescribed outlined temperature and time. The dimensions for the area of the solder joint under study were 21 by 21 um, located at the centre of the hole. And computation of averaged shear strains at 6 data points for this area was done. R Darveaux's constitutive model was applied for the data analysis such as the solder joint yields stress with respect to the time and temperature. On achieving the stress solution, the measured total strains were partitioned into elastic, plastic and creep terms separately and hence the creep strain was evaluated. From the analysis, it was found that the dominant deformation mode was shear deformation due to mismatch of coefficient of thermal expansion between pin and copper plating material of through-hole under thermal loading. And the dominant deformation mechanism was creep strain while stress started to relax at the end of ramp up and continued throughout the test and creep strain rate decreased during high temperature dwell. In Addition, the elastic strain was dominating during the initial stage of thermal cycle but later it was neglibible when compared to creep strain.

Recently, accelerated testing of surface mount interconnects under combined temperature and vibration environments has been recognized to be a necessary activity to ensure enhanced test-time compression. Successful use of vibration stresses requires a clear understanding of the correlation between vibrational damage and thermomechanical damage in surface mount solder joints. Hence, fatigue due to vibrational loading is important and accurate quantitative models are required to model effects due to vibrational fatigue. The proposed analysis in this paper contributes towards development of such quantitative models. This paper presents an approximate method to analyze stresses in surface mount solder joints subjected to vibration loading, using a generalized multidomain Rayleigh-Ritz approach (Ling and Dasgupta, 1995). The advantage of this approach is in its computational efficiency, compared to general-purpose finite element methods. Ling developed this approach in the context of thermomechanical stress analysis of solder joints. In this paper, the technique is modified and adapted for analyzing stresses caused by out-of-plane flexural dynamic modes of the printed wiring boards (PWBs). The analysis uses a two-step procedure where the local PWB curvatures are first estimated and the resulting deformations in the solder interconnect are then determined. The input boundary conditions for the first step are the bending moments in the PWB due to random vibrations. The stiffness of the interconnect assembly is then predicted using an energy method and curved-beam analysis. The bending moment and the computed stiffness of the interconnect assembly are then used to predict the local curvature of the PWB under any given surface-mount component by using an eigenfunction technique developed by Suhir (Suhir, 1988). In the second step of the analysis, the local curvature of the PWB is used as a boundary condition to predict the state of deformations, stresses, and strains in the solder joint using a modified version of the multidomain Rayleigh-Ritz approach. The overall method is applied to a specific example (J-lead solder joint) for illustrative purposes, and compared to finite element predictions for validation.

Light emitting diodes (LEDs) are today standard and mature light sources. They have several key advantages, like small size, low energy consumption and long lifetime. However, high reliability of the LED system is required to achieve long lifetime of the light source. Thermo-mechanical stress due to temperature cycle causes failure of electronic systems. The electronic component itself or the interconnect device, e.g. printed circuit board (PCB) might fail. In many cases, the weakest link is found to be the solder interconnect between package and the board. Cracking of the interconnect causes an open contact and the system fails. In this paper we compare the existing methods to investigate LED interconnect failures during temperature cycle tests like the simple “light-on-test”, electric resistance measurement and the shear test. We describe and introduce the transient thermal analysis as a measurement method. We present the first reliability data analysis with transient thermal analysis of ceramic high power LED packages on Al-IMS during air to air thermal shock test (−40°C to +125°C) and correlate it with cross sections. We demonstrate the sensitivity of the thermal analysis to detect solder joint failures of the assembly. We compare the results with electric resistance measurements and light on tests and show that the resolution is significantly higher compared to the methods applied today. The sensitivity of the method enables us to detect the crack in a solder joint much earlier than the final failure of the joint, i.e. the open contact.

Solder Joint Fatigue

A surface-mount J-leaded device is modeled in this study, to investigate the effects of selected design, loading and manufacturing variables on solder joint fatigue life. The solder is modeled as a viscoplastic material, while the remaining materials are assumed to be linear elastic, as a first order approximation. Finite element analysis is used to determine the stress and strain history in the solder, due to temperature cycling. A “typical” temperature cycle with uniform dwell periods is applied to the solder joint. The computed stress and strain histories are utilized to construct hysteresis plots at each location in the solder joint. The hysteresis plots are then partitioned into elastic strain energy, plastic work and creep work dissipation. The fatigue life of the solder joint is then estimated through the energy partitioning technique. Parametric studies are conducted to investigate qualitatively the dependence of solder joint fatigue life on selected material properties, geometric variables, life cycle as well as accelerated loads, and manufacturing variabilities.

Life Predictions

The ability of solder joint life-prediction algorithms to predict the failure of solder joints due to temperature-cycling induced creep-fatigue has been investigated using representative leadless chip carriers (LCCs) as the test vehicle. Four different algorithms are assessed: the classic Coffin-Manson algorithm, a modified Coffin-Manson algorithm with dependency on peak stress, and two strain-energy based algorithms. JPL’s special purpose nonlinear finite element computer program was used to dynamically simulate the solder joint response to the standard NASA temperature cycling environment, which ranges from −55°C to +100°C with a 4-hour period. The computed stress-strain history provided the inputs needed by each of the failure algorithms. To test the accuracy of the analytical predictions, three different sizes of LCCs (68 pins, 28 pins, and 20 pins) were subjected to an experimental test program using the same 4-hour temperature cycle as used in the analytical predictions. The three different sized ceramic packages, each with a 50-mil pitch, provided a range of cyclic strain ranges and solder fillet geometries so as to test the algorithms against realistic electronic packaging variables. The study highlights limitations in the historical Coffin-Manson relationship, and points up possible improvements associated with incorporating a stress modifier into the Coffin-Manson equation. This modification is also somewhat simpler and more accurate than the energy-density based algorithms, which also performed quite well.

Abstract The reliability of lead-free solder joints on flexible PCB has created significant new challenges in the industry, especially in automotive electronics, and possibly for future wearable electronics.In this paper, the submodeling technique was used to construct the finite element model of the rigid-flexible printed circuit board (rigid-flexible PCB) for a MEMS pressure sensor subjected to combined temperature cycle and random vibration loadings. During all the experiments, the electrical signals of each specimen were continuously monitored using an event detector. One advantage of this method is that any individual soldering interconnect failure will result in the diagnostic signal of the circuit, which could be detected in real time. The influence of vibration frequency and acceleration on the vibration fatigue life of solid joints was investigated.The research results are helpful to effectively characterize the performance of the MEMS sensors under combine thermal cycling test and vibration test. Two kinds of land shapes and two kinds of PCB assemblies were selected. The solder joint is sliced and the crack on the cross section of solder joint was observed. Results of finite element modeling analysis were consistent with the experimental results. Two design parameters have been identified in our research as being important to soldering usage in automotive environments: pad type (teardrop vs. non-teardrop) and pad size (big vs. small, matching size for Cu-wire and pad). Experimental results also showed that the solder joint with big land shape presented a relatively good thermal fatigue resistance.
