Thermo-mechanical reliability evaluation of flip chip package using a accelerated test

가속화 시험을 통한 플립칩 패키지의 열적 기계적 특성 평가

The microstructural investigation and thermo-mechanical reliability evaluation of the Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder bumped flip chip package were carried out during the thermal shock test of the package. In the initial reaction, the reaction product between the solder and Cu mini bump of chip side was Cu6Sn5 layer, while the two phases which were (Cu,Ni)6Sn5 and (Ni,Cu)3Sn4 were formed between the solder and Ni-P layer of the package side. The cracks were occurred at the corner solder joints after the thermal shocks of 400 cycles. The primary failure mechanism of the solder joints in this type of package was confirmed to be thermally activated solder fatigue failure.
