  6. Material Properties

  7. Mesh • 4-node linear coupled temperature-displacement quadrilateral • Fairly fine – why not? • Refined near regions of interest • Edges and solder

  8. Loading Conditions • Step 1: 221°C – melting point of solder • Step 2: 23°C • Coupled temp-disp steady state • x-Symmetry Condition on Right End • Step 3 (Attempted): 1A current through solder • Coupled thermal-electric • Inputted thermal properties of materials • Did not converge • Not sure why

  9. Loading Conditions (cont.) • Step 3: Solder and underfill at 100°C; linear variation in substrate and Si to ambient temp of 70°C • Used subroutine to define this temp field • Study 2: Ran same procedure except that it was assumed that the Si was very rigid and hence could not deform in the vertical direction

  10. Mises Stress • Curvature agrees with intuition • Slight variation (few MPa)

  11. σ22 • Stress is ~20 MPa in Solder Bumps • Slight variation (~5 MPa)

  12. Mises Stress Rigid Si • More variation in stress among solders

  13. σ22 Rigid Si • Variation in stress in solders: ~20 MPa on right-side to ~35-40 MPa near left-side

  14. Discussion • Curvature seems physically intuitive • Variation in solder location seems to have minimal effect on stress • Only ~5 MPa for σ22 • I guessed it would be larger but that was assuming Si is perfectly rigid • If we make Si completely rigid, we get larger variation in stress among solders

  15. Lessons Learned about FEA • FEA has advantages (over experiments): • Relatively easy • Easy to change material parameters • Do not assume FEA can handle everything • Model could be wrong • Solution may not converge
