ABSTRACTThe paper presents crack propagation experiments on real flip chip specimens applied to reversible shear loading. Two specially designed micro testers will be introduced. The first tester provides very precise measurements of the force displacement hysteresis. The achieved resolutions have been I mN for force and 20 nm for displacement. The second micro tester works similar to the first one, but is designed for in-situ experiments inside the SEM. Since it needs to be very small in size it reaches only resolutions of 10 mN and 100nm, which is sufficient to achieve equivalence to the first tester. A cyclic triangular strain wave is used as load profile for the crack propagation experiment. The experiment was done with both machines applying equivalent specimens and load. The force displacement curve was recorded using the first micro mechanical tester. From those hysteresis, the force amplitude has been determined for every cycle. All force amplitudes are plotted versus the number of cycles in order to quantify the crack length. With the second tester, images were taken at every 10th … 100th cycle in order to locate the crack propagation. Finally both results have been linked together for a combined quatitive and spatial description of the crack propagation in flip chip solder joints.

Understanding the formation of voids in solder joints is important for predicting the long-term reliability of solder interconnects. This paper reports experimental research on the formation of void bubbles within molten solder bumps in flip-chip connections. For flip-chip-soldered electronic components, which have small solder volume, voids can be more detrimental to reliability. A previous theory based on thermocapillary flow reveals that the direction of heating influences void formation. Using different heating profiles, 480 solder joints of flip-chip assemblies were processed. A high-lead 90Pb∕8Sn∕2Ag solder was employed in the experiments. The solder samples were microsectioned to determine the actual size or diameter of the voids. A database on sizes and locations of voids was then constructed. More defective bumps, 80%, and higher void volume were found when the solder was melted from top (flip-chip side) to bottom (test board side). The observation on cases with melting direction from bottom to top had 40% defective bumps. The results show that a single big void is near the solder bump center with a few small voids near the edge. This supports the numerical study based on the thermocapillary theory. When the melting direction was reversed, many small voids appear near the edge. Big and middle-size voids tend to stay in the middle and outer regions from top towards middle layer of the bump. This experimental finding does not completely agree with the interpretation on the formation of voids by thermocapillary theory, however, the results do show that heat flux direction plays significant role in the formation and distribution of void bubbles in molten solder.
