Abstract
This paper aims to investigate the influence of bolt assembly position on the fatigue life characteristics of electronic components under thermal cycling loads. In this study, the parameters of the Unified Creep Plasticity (UCP) constitutive model for 63Sn37Pb solder were determined, along with the actual coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) for each component within the electronic assembly. A high-precision finite element model (FEM) was developed and validated through temperature cycling tests on printed circuit board (PCB) assemblies. The error between the fatigue life of solder joints obtained from the temperature cycling tests and the FEM simulation was within 1 %. Finally, a thermal cycling simulation analysis was conducted on the PCB assembly under different bolt assembly positions. The simulation results revealed a correlation between the bolt assembly locations and the fatigue life of solder joints. The findings of this study can serve as a reference for future efforts aimed at improving the reliability of solder joints under various assembly conditions.
期刊介绍:
Microelectronics Reliability, is dedicated to disseminating the latest research results and related information on the reliability of microelectronic devices, circuits and systems, from materials, process and manufacturing, to design, testing and operation. The coverage of the journal includes the following topics: measurement, understanding and analysis; evaluation and prediction; modelling and simulation; methodologies and mitigation. Papers which combine reliability with other important areas of microelectronics engineering, such as design, fabrication, integration, testing, and field operation will also be welcome, and practical papers reporting case studies in the field and specific application domains are particularly encouraged.
Most accepted papers will be published as Research Papers, describing significant advances and completed work. Papers reviewing important developing topics of general interest may be accepted for publication as Review Papers. Urgent communications of a more preliminary nature and short reports on completed practical work of current interest may be considered for publication as Research Notes. All contributions are subject to peer review by leading experts in the field.
