A window based graphics interface for phase shifting in a moiré interferometry system is introduced in this paper. VISUAL C++ is used in the software programming. The phase shifting is accomplished by driving the reference grating in the moiré interfermetry system with a low voltage piezo stack. Four images from three shifts and one original image are used to derive the phase diagram, which is used for displacement and strain calculations. Automatic fringe numbering is achieved by the phase shifting, which significantly simplifies the traditional fringe-counting process. The strain calculation is also automatic by space derivative of displacement. The displacement distribution is obtained by unwrapping the phase diagram. Various help menu functions are provided, facilitating the ease use of the software. A 3-point bending beam is used for the demonstration. The technique is also applied to the analysis of thermal deformations in a flip-chip electronic package.

Moiré interferometry is used for mapping elasto-plastic deformations in 63/37 solder-copper bimaterials subjected to predominantly tensile loading. A method for quantifying the fracture parameter — the J-integral — using full-field measurement of u2-displacements has been developed. A linear relationship between crack tip opening displacements (CTOD) and the J-integral is demonstrated. The crack growth resistance curve and hence crack initiation toughness JC for the bimaterial is obtained. Full-field optical information has also suggested the possibility of using a simpler method for the J-integral estimation using a single strain gage.

Electronic packages are complicated material systems operating under thermal and mechanical loading conditions. The package design and reliability analysis requires knowledge in many technical disciplines and specialized experimental methods and tools. Recently, many advanced techniques are adopted from other technical areas to be applied to the packaging applications and many experimental tools are developed correspondingly. In this paper advanced experimental techniques in electronic packaging are reviewed. The techniques and methods for mechanical analysis are emphasized as well as the new development in equipment and tools. The applications of these techniques are introduced by numerous reference publications. Most of the applications are directly related to new product development and have made significant impact in the electronics industries by assisting product designs, qualifications, reliability predictions and cycle time reductions.

Polysilicon is the most widely used material in current commercial MEMS products, yet its mechanical properties are not fully determined. Vapor deposited polysilicon is thin — on the order of a few microns — which makes handling and testing difficult. It is desirable to use mechanical tests similar to those standardized by ASTM, but this requires special techniques and procedures. Tensile tests of 3.5 micron thick polysilicon film have been conducted and these are briefly described. Two advances in mechanical property testing are then presented. A preliminary investigation of the effect of hydrofluoric acid on the tensile properties of polysilicon shows no deleterious effect of this acid which is commonly used as a release agent. Fracture toughness testing of polysilicon, in which crack opening displacement is measured (an approach similar to that specified by ASTM), yields a preliminary value of 1.6 MPa-m1/2.

Piezoresistive sensors fabricated on (100) and (111) silicon surfaces are capable of measuring from four to all six stress components on the surface of a die. Such resistor based sensors have been successfully designed and fabricated on these wafer planes, and are being used for measurement of die stresses in electronic packaging. However, the use of resistor sensors has several drawbacks including their large size, low sensitivity, and limited functional temperature range. Van der Pauw (VDP) structures have been identified as one potential sensor candidate for overcoming the limitations of large resistor sensors. In this paper, the feasibility of using van der Pauw structures as stress sensors has been demonstrated. The sensitivity of VDP structures fabricated on both (100) and (111) silicon surfaces to uniaxial stress has been measured using four-point-bending tests, and typical results are presented. The observed VDP stress sensitivities are much higher than those of their analogous resistor sensor counterparts. Preliminary finite difference based anisotropic conduction simulation results are in general agreement with the observed measurements.

Although it is challenging to resolve deformation fields near corners or interfaces for layered structures, it is essential for a measurement technique to deal with of stress/strain concentrations, strain gradients, failure initiation and growth, local microstructure evolutions, etc. In this study, an innovative phase shifting technique is proposed, coupled with an image processing software, to investigate several interesting problems in electronic packaging. A power plastic IC package and a flip-chip package are selected to demonstrate the powerfulness of the system. A nanoscale deformation field is obtained for both the corner area and the underfilled containing flip-chip solder balls.

The objective of this work was to determine the adhesive fracture energies associated with various interfaces that were produced by different methods of applying polyimide to an aluminum substrate. Due to the relatively small thicknesses of the polyimide films, blister tests were considered most appropriate. Nonetheless, a considerable amount of global yielding was anticipated (Shirani and Liechti, 1994), even for peninsula blisters. In order to make sure that extracted adhesive fracture values were not masked by global yielding effects, a fracture process zone modeling approach (Needleman, 1990 and Tvergaard and Hutchinson, 1993) was taken.

Bimaterial corners arise in many modem structural components from structural adhesively bonded joints to line structures in microelectronics devices. The elasticity problem has been extensively analyzed (Williams, 1952, Bogy, 1971, Hein and Erdogan, 1971) and it has been shown that singularities in stress can arise, depending on the properties of the materials and the corner geometry. These singularities (or eigenvalues) may be complex in nature and a number of them may co-exist for a particular configuration. Various schemes have been developed for extracting the stress intensity factors (or eigenvectors) associated with each singular term (Stem et al, 1976, Carpenter and Byers, 1987).

A methodology to characterize and quantify the thermo-mechanical properties of silicon wafers is presented. The method applies broadband Thermo-Acousto-Photonic (TAP) NDE techniques to both generate and detect analyzing guided Lamb waves in wafer structures. Optically induced, dispersive acoustic waves carry important information pertaining to the variation of mechanical properties due to temperature changes. To quantify the variation as functions of temperature, a spline-wavelet based fast integral wavelet transform is employed to identify the temporal progression of the multi-modal structure of dispersive waveguide modes. These results are then used to extract group velocities of particular frequency components of interest. Examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method on experimental data acquired using the Fiber Tip Interferometer (FTI) system developed at Texas A&M University.

In this paper, the creep behavior of the plastic power package at high temperature 155 °C was studied by real time moiré interferometry and FEM modeling. 1200 l/mm grating was replicated onto the cross-section of the specimen at room temperature. The specimen was held at 155°C (around the Tg of the epoxy molding compound) in the vacuum chamber for about 13 hours. The thermal deformation and creep of the specimen was recorded and measured in situ by moiré interferometry. The experimental results show that creep deformation occurs in the epoxy molding compound. The non-linear viscoelastic constitutive model was used for FEM simulation. The simulation results were compared with the experimental results and they were matched quite well on the global deformation of the specimen. The calculation results also show that, accompanied with the global creep deformation in molding compound epoxy, local stress concentration decreased significantly.
