The use of CSPs has expanded rapidly, particularly in portable electronic products. Many CSP designs will meet the thermal cycle or thermal shock requirements for these applications. However, mechanical shock (drop) and bending requirements often necessitate the use of underfills to increase the mechanical strength of the CSP-to-board connection. Capillary flow underfills processed after reflow, provide the most common solution to improving mechanical reliability. However, capillary underfill adds board dehydration, underfill dispense, flow and cure steps and the associated equipment to the assembly process. Corner bonding provides an alternate approach. Dots of underfill are dispensed at the four corners of the CSP site after solder paste print, but before CSP placement. During reflow the underfill cures, providing mechanical coupling between the CSP and the board at the corners of the CSP. Since only small areas of underfill are used, board dehydration is not required. This paper examines the manufacturing process for corner bonding including dispense volume, CSP placement and reflow. Drop test results are then presented. A conventional, capillary process was used for comparison of drop test results. Test results with corner bonding were intermediate between complete capillary underfill and non-underfilled CSPs. Finite element modeling results for the drop test are also included.

More and more Land Grid Array (LGA) components are being used in electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets and computers. In order to enhance LGA mechanical strength and reliability, capillary flow underfill is used to improve reliability. However, due to the small gap, it is difficult for capillary underfill to flow into the LGA at SMT level. Due to cost considerations, there are usually no pre-heating underfill or cleaning flux residue processes at the SMT assembly line. YINCAE solder joint encapsulant SMT 256 has been successfully used with solder paste for LGA assembly. Solder joint encapsulant is used in in-line LGA soldering process with enhanced reliability. It eliminates the underfilling process and provides excellent reworkability. The shear strength of solder joint is stronger than that of underfilled components. The thermal cycling performance using solder joint encapsulant is much better than that using underfill. Bottom IC of POP has been studied for further understanding of LGA assembly process parameters. All details such as assembly process, drop test and thermal cycling test will be discussed in the full paper.

Today’s consumer market demands electronics that are smaller, faster and cheaper. To cater to these demands, novel materials, new designs, and new packaging technologies are introduced frequently. Wafer Level Chip Scale Package (WLCSP) is one of the emerging package technologies that have the key advantages of reduced cost and smaller footprint. The portable consumer electronics are frequently dropped; hence the emphasis of reliability is shifting towards study of effects of mechanical shock loading increasingly. Mechanical loading typically induces brittle fractures (also known as intermetallic failures) between the solder bumps and bond pads at the silicon die side. This type of failure mechanism is typically characterized by the board level drop test. WLCSP is a variant of the flip-chip interconnection technique. In WLCSPs, the active side of the die is inverted and connected to the PCB by solder balls. The size of these solder balls is typically large enough (300μm pre-reflow for 0.5mm pitch and 250μm pre-reflow for 0.4mm pitch) to avoid use of underfill that is required for the flip-chip interconnects. Several variations are incorporated in the package design parameters to meet the performance, reliability, and footprint requirements of the package assembly. The design parameters investigated in this effort are solder ball compositions with different Silver (Ag) content, backside lamination with different thickness, WLCSP type –Direct and Re-Distribution Layer (RDL), bond pad thickness, and sputtered versus electroplated Under Bump Metallurgy (UBM) deposition methods for 8×8, 9×9, and 10×10 array sizes. The test vehicles built using these design parameters were drop tested using JEDEC recommended test boards and conditions as per JESD22-B11. Cross sectional analysis was used to identify, confirm, and classify the intermetallic, and bulk solder failures. The objective of this research was to quantify the effects and interactions of WLCSP design parameters through drop test. The drop test data was collected and treated as a right censored data. Further, it was analyzed by fitting empirical distributions using the grouped and un-grouped data approach. Data analysis showed that design parameters had a significant effect on the drop performance and played a vital role in influencing the package reliability.

A catalytically assisted ceramic combustor for a gas turbine was designed to achieve low NOx emission under 5 ppm at a combustor outlet temperature over 1300°C. This combustor is composed of a burner system and a ceramic liner behind the burner system. The burner system consists of 6 catalytic combustor segments and 6 premixing nozzles, which are arranged in parallel and alternately. The ceramic liner is made up of the layer of outer metal wall, ceramic fiber, and inner ceramic tiles. Fuel flow rates for the catalysts and the premixing nozzles are controlled independently. Catalytic combustion temperature is controlled under 1000°C, premixed gas is injected from the premixing nozzles to the catalytic combustion gas and lean premixed combustion over 1300°C is carried out in the ceramic liner. This system was designed to avoid catalytic deactivation at high temperature and thermal and mechanical shock fracture of the honeycomb monolith of the catalyst. A combustor for a 10 MW class, multican type gas turbine was tested under high pressure conditions using LNG fuel. Measurements of emission, temperature, etc. were made to evaluate combustor performance under various combustion temperatures and pressures. This paper presents the design features and the test results of this combustor.

Band type closure rings are commonly used for securing the drum lid on radioactive material packages of lower weight classifications. Lid installation is achieved by placing the band around the perimeter of the lidded drum and tightening the single bolt in stages until a designated torque value is obtained. The band is subjected to heavy rapping with a soft hammer during installation to equilibrate the band strains around the drum perimeter. The study described here investigated the strain distributions in the band throughout the installation process. The results show that a uniform strain distribution is achieved during installation and that the hammering of the band aids in achieving the uniform distribution. The results of the strain levels after the drop test indicate that the locking rings maintain some pre-tension, even after severe targeted drops that crush a portion of the drum top.

A gondola with a body of solid type – an eco-nomically effective unit of a rollingstock. Most of the damages of gondola bodies is caused at handling operations with the failure of requirements observance established. In the paper the assessment of deflected mode body in the body at the lump load drop with the mass of 500 kg is carried out. Normal stresses and travels arising at the blow of load in the sections of joints of frame beams between each other, side and end walls are analyzed. The values of stresses three times higher than the foreseen ones with “Standards…” are adopted as reference valuations. It is substantiated by test results and the comparison of material characteristics at deadweight and dynamic loads. As a result of car body multichoice computations on basis of the detailed MCE there was established the following: the closer the place of a lump blow to a supporting longitudinal to the car body end is, the stresses are higher in it. Stresses arising in the supporting longitudinal situated between an end girder and a body bolster beam reach 998 H/mm, at the same time in the middle of the car body of a gondola they do not exceed 450 H⁄mm². If a load lump falls down on the joint of cross-beams and longitudinal ones, then stresses in their sections 10-15 times less, than if the fall were to a strengthening beam. In the main the maximum stress distribution is limited by small areas located between two neighboring crossbeams. The research results have shown, it is necessary that additional bearing elements absorbing a blow should be introduced in a frame.

A large number of forms and varieties of garlic created in the selection process allowed this culture to spread almost all over the world: in temperate regions, in subtropics and even in tropical regions. Currently, the world's acreage of garlic is 1.438 million hectares, the average yield is 16.9 tons per hectare, the gross yield is 24.255 million tons. The largest producers of garlic are China, India, South Korea and Egypt. The highest yield was recorded in Uzbekistan, Egypt, China, Tadjikistan. In Uzbekistan, it is grown everywhere, mainly on household plots and small areas in farms. In the republic, varieties of garlic are South-violet (1972) and May VIR (1978). Since 2004, the Surkhandarya Scientific Experimental Station of the VegetableMelon Crops and Potato Research Institute has been conducting selection work to create new varieties of garlic. As a result of the research, the Chidamli variety was introduced and, since 2016, introduced into the State Register. All zoned varieties belong to the group of autumn-sprouting varieties. In 2011- 2015, about 100 promising clones of garlic were evaluated in the south of Uzbekistan. The effectiveness of selection for the size of bulbs and teeth is revealed. Clones with a mass of bulbs and teeth are isolated. Clones with a bulb weight of more than 80 g and a tooth mass of more than 6 g are distinguished. They are a valuable source for the creation of high-yielding varieties of garlic in Uzbekistan.

Board-level drop test performance was evaluated and compared for the following four different solder combinations in BGA/CSP assembly: 1) SnPb paste with SnPb balls, 2) SnPb paste with SAC105Ti balls, 3) SAC305 paste with SAC105Ti balls, and 4) SAC305 paste with SAC105 balls. Presence of Ti improved the drop test performance significantly, despite the voiding side effect caused by its oxidation tendency. It is anticipated that the voiding can be prevented with the development of a more oxidation resistant flux. The consistently poor drop test performance of 105Ti/SnPb is caused by the wide pasty range resulted from mixing SAC105 with Sn63 solder paste. The effect of Ti in this system is overshadowed by the high voiding outcome due to this wide pasty range material. In view of this, use of SAC105 BGA with SnPb solder paste is not recommended, with or without Ti addition. High reflow temperature drove fracture shift to interface at package side, presumably through building up IMC thickness beyond the threshold value. A lower reflow temperature is recommended. Electrical response is consistent with complete fracture data. But, complete fracture trend is inconsistent with that of partial fracture trend, and neither data can provide a full understanding about the failure mode. By integrating complete fracture and partial fracture into “Virtual Fracture”, the failure mechanism becomes obvious and data sets become consistent with each other.
