Abstract

It is known that test methods to evaluate solder joint reliability are die shock test, die shear test, 3points bending test, and thermal shock test. The present study investigated the effects of failure mode on 3 types (as-reflowed, $85^{\circ}C$/85%RH treatment, and $150^{\circ}C$/10hr aging) of solder joints for flip-chip BGA package by using various test methods. The test methods and configurations are reported in detail, i.e. die shock, die shear, 3points bending, and thermal shock test. We focus on the failure mode of solder joints under various tests. The test results indicate that die shock and die shear test method can reveal brittle fracture in flip-chip ball grid array (FCBGA) packages with higher sensitivity.

Flip Chip Ball Grid Array (FCBGA) 패키지의 솔더조인트 신뢰성을 평가하기 위한 방법으로는 다이 충격법, 다이 전단법, 3점 굽힘법, 열충격법 등이 활용된다. 본 연구에서는 솔더 접합부의 주요 고장메카니즘인 취성파괴를 확인하기 위한 방법으로 리플로우 상태, $85^{\circ}C$/85%RH 처리, $150^{\circ}C$/10hr 에이징의 처리한 후, 4가지 평가법으로 평가를 진행하여 파단모드를 분석하였다. 본 연구결과에서는 다이 충격법과 다이 전단법의 Good joint rate (GJR, %)는 리플로우 상태와 $85^{\circ}C$/85%RH처리에서 각각 89~91%와 100% 였으며, $150^{\circ}C$/10hr 에이징에서는 66%와 90%를 나타내었다. 3점 굽힘법과 열충격법의 GJR(%)는 3종류 샘플에서 모두 100%를 나타내어 변별력이 없었다. C4 솔더접합부의 신뢰성 평가법에 따른 GJR(%)의 변별력을 확인할 수 있는 방법은 die shock 과 die shear test였다.
