UCPD model for Pb-free solder

Journal of Electronic Packaging, Transactions of the ASME

Neilsen, Michael K.; Vianco, Paul T.

A unified creep plasticity damage (UCPD) model for eutectic Sn-Pb and Pb-free solders was developed and implemented into finite element analysis codes. The new model will be described along with the relationship between the model's damage evolution equation and an empirical Coffin-Manson relationship for solder fatigue. Next, developments needed to model crack initiation and growth in solder joints will be described. Finally, experimentally observed cracks in typical solder joints subjected to thermal mechanical fatigue are compared with model predictions. Finite element based modeling is particularly suited for predicting solder joint fatigue of advanced electronics packaging, e.g. package-on-package (PoP), because it allows for evaluation of a variety of package materials and geometries.

Laser ablation of thin films on LTCC

Proceedings - 2014 47th International Symposium on Microelectronics, IMAPS 2014

Girardi, M.A.; Peterson, Kenneth A.; Vianco, Paul T.; Grondin, R.; Wieliczka, D.

Direct Digital Manufacturing techniques such as laser ablation are proposed for the fabrication of lower cost, miniaturized, and lightweight integrated assemblies with high performance requirements. This paper investigates the laser ablation of a Ti/Cu/Pt/Au thin film metal stack on fired low temperature cofired ceramic (LTCC) surfaces using a 355 nm Nd.YAG diode pumped laser ablation system. It further investigates laser ablation applications using unfil ed, or 'green', LTCC materials: (1) through one layer of a laminated stack of unfiled LTCC tape to a buried thick film conductor ground plane, and (2) in unfiled Au thick films. The UV laser power profile and part fixturing were optimized to address defects such as LTCC microcracking, thin film adhesion failures, and redeposition of Cu and Pt. An alternate design approach to minimize ablation time was tested for efficiency in manufacture. Multichip Modules (MCM) were tested for solder ability', solder leach resistance, and wire bondabilify. Scanning election microscopy (SEM) as well as cross sections and microanalytical techniques were used in this study.
