Abstract Ball shear forces of plastic ball grid array (PBGA) packages are found to decrease after reliability test. Packages with different ball pad metallurgy form different intermetallic compounds (IMC) thus ball shear forces and failure modes are different. The characteristic and dynamic process of IMC formed are decided by ball pad metallurgy which includes Ni barrier layer and Au layer thickness. Solder ball composition also affects IMC formation dynamic process. There is basically no difference in ball shear force and failure mode for packages with different under ball pad metallurgy before reliability test. However shear force decreased and failure mode changed after reliability test, especially when packages exposed to high temperature. Major difference in ball shear force and failure mode was found for ball pad metallurgy of Ni barrier layer including Ni-P, pure Ni and Ni-Co. Solder ball composition was found to affect the IMC formation rate.

The solder ball shear test is a commonly used method to evaluate the attachment strength of solder balls. However, some previous studies indicated that the solder ball shear test may not be suitable for showing the effect of intermetallic compound (IMC) growth due to thermal aging. This is because the IMC layer is thin and not susceptible to the shear loading. Since the IMC layer consists of brittle materials, the ball pull test should be a better method to evaluate the solder ball attachment strength. The major challenge of conducting a solder ball pull test is how to grip the solder ball. This paper presents an innovative method for conducting the solder ball pull test. A shape memory alloy (SMA) tube is used to grip the solder ball and pull it off from the substrate. The inner diameter of the SMA tube is originally smaller than the diameter of the solder ball under testing. Once the temperature is raised to higher than the switching temperature of SMA, the SMA tube will expand radially, resulting an inner diameter larger than the solder ball. After the SMA tube cools down, the tube contracts and grips the solder ball firmly. The solder ball can then be pulled off from the attached substrate by frictional force. A prototype of the aforementioned solder ball pull test device has been developed. Some preliminary testing results are presented in this paper.

Ball shear test was investigated in terms of the effects of important test parameter, i.e., shear height, with an experimental and non-linear finite element analysis for evaluating the solder joint integrity of area array packages. The substrate was a common SMD type with solder bond pad openings of 460 ㎛ in diameter. It was observed that increasing the shear height, at a fixed shear speed, has the effect of decreasing the shear force. The high shear height could cause some bad effects on the test results such as unexpected high standard deviation values or shear tip sliding from the solder ball surface. The low shear height conditions were favorable for screening the type of brittle interfacial fractures or the degraded layers in the interfaces.
