The reliability of solder joints in board-level packaging has always been a research focus, but there is still insufficient research on board-level vibration reliability at service temperatures. This paper investigated the dynamic characteristics and fatigue life of printed circuit board (PCB) assemblies under different fastening methods (with or without plain washer) and board thicknesses in thermal environments. Firstly, effective finite element models were established for diverse PCB fastening methods and thicknesses at 24 °C and 60 °C, and these models were verified by modal experiments. Then, modal analysis and harmonic response analysis were conducted to investigate the effect of PCB fastening methods and thickness on the inherent characteristics of PCB assemblies. Finally, the stresses of solder joints were analyzed by isothermal random vibration simulations, and the three-band method was applied to predict the vibration fatigue life of the solder joints. The results show that the board fastening method and thickness significantly affect the inherent characteristics and vibration reliability of PCB assembly. The addition of plain washers increases the fastening area. At 24 °C and 60 °C, the increase in fastening area and board thickness cause higher natural frequency of the system, lower displacement amplitude and solder stresses, which improve the fatigue life of the solder joints under random vibration loading. The application of the plain washers and the increase in PCB thickness improve the solder joints fatigue life by 8.5 % and 66.7 %, respectively, at 24 °C, and by 6.6 % and 66.5 %, respectively, at 60 °C. In addition, as the temperature rises, the improvement effects of PCB fastening methods and thickness on the fatigue life of solder joints diminish, especially for the case with adding plain washers. This research has important guiding significance for the reliability design of PCB assemblies.

In automotive electronic water pumps, MOSFET is used as power conversion devices to drive water pump motors, however, the high temperature of the engine will cause the electronic water pump MOSFET to overheat and fail. In order to effectively reduce the overheating failure of MOSFET, a thermal simulation model of printed circuit board MOSFET for automotive electronic water pump controllers was established using FLUENT software. The temperature rise characteristics of MOSFET with different void rates under single and multi-void SMT states were analyzed. The analysis results indicate that the thermal resistance of MOSFET in printed circuit boards increases with the increase of void fraction, and the simulation results are verified through experiments, which are consistent with the simulation results. At the same time, when the void ratio is greater than 10 %, the heat dissipation effect of a single void is more pronounced than that of a void. The thermal analysis of printed circuit board MOSFET provides support for effectively controlling MOSFET temperature rise and reducing MOSFET thermal failure.

The Pre-Amplifier Physical Unclonable Function (Pre-Amp PUF) is a promising new PUF topology with a low native array bit error rate (BER). Stabilization techniques to reduce the BER exist but often require storing the location of repeatable bit locations in non-volatile memory. This ‘helper data’ is expensive in chip area and power. In this paper we study for the first time the effects of aging on the Pre-Amp PUF design and its ability to self-reinforce the initial preferred state automatically. We then propose a novel Feedback Reinforced Accelerated Aging (FRAA) technique wherein the Pre-Amp PUF key error rate can be reduced to “zero” with no external user interaction required. Data is gated from leaving the PUF design during the FRAA process thereby keeping the PUF enrollment process dedicated to the end user. Statistical modeling and aging analysis are performed using a 5-nm FinFET process development kit.

Dummy BGA and LGA components containing the low temperature solder alloy known as B37 from Nihon Superior were subjected to sinusoidal vibration testing at three environmental temperatures in order to evaluate the effect of the temperature condition on the relative reliability of their solder joints. Similar test vehicles constructed with SAC305 solder were also evaluated for general comparative purposes with the understanding that the SAC305 and B37 alloys are intended for different applications and usage environments. Significantly discernable resonance frequencies and accelerations differences were observed with respect to alloy and type of component. This was evident across the different environmental temperature vibration test conditions. The identified differences between the alloys and component types underscore the importance of considering all the factors in the B37 and SAC305 behavior under vibration. While this study successfully highlighted variations in the response of BGAs to LGAs for the B37 versus SAC305 alloys, further research is needed to identify the underlying mechanisms causing these differences, potentially involving more detailed analyses or complementary testing approaches.

The key enabling technology for 3D integration is Wafer-to-Wafer (WoW) bonding. One of the main issues for the W2W bonding fabrication process is the wafer warpage. We explore the possibility of wafer warpage reduction considering the large material properties variation of the tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) layer. We investigated the effect of the TEOS layer on the wafer warpage with different equipment and sources in experiments. Furthermore, the effect of the material property of TEOS as the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and Young's modulus on the wafer warpage was analyzed with finite element method (FEM) simulation. We demonstrated quantitatively the variation of wafer warpage with different TEOS layers. We reveal that convex wafer warpage is beneficial for wafer deformation control, as it counteracts the concave warpage caused by the metal materials in W2W bonding. Especially with the development of multi-stacked WoW bonding process for advanced devices with complex structures, controlling the warpage of each wafer becomes more important.

Silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs are known for their superior performance compared to traditional silicon devices, making them well-suited for a wide range of applications in power electronics. However, there is a lack of long-term reliability studies for SiC MOSFETs under real-world operating conditions. This article introduces an innovative inverter-like accelerated test (IAT) and compares it with the standard power cycling test (PCT) to thoroughly assess the degradation mechanisms and reliability of SiC MOSFETs. The IAT is designed to replicate the operational conditions of an inverter, providing a more realistic evaluation of the long-term performance of the SiC MOSFET. There are some differences in the principles of these two accelerated tests (ATs). The paper provides detailed insights into these differences and the methodologies used, including the test bench design and junction temperature estimation, and presents the experimental results. The findings highlight significant differences in the degradation behavior observed under IAT and PCT conditions and the lifetime evaluation, underscoring the necessity for realistic testing protocols to ensure reliable lifetime predictions for SiC MOSFETs in practical applications.

TDDB lifetime is an important reliability metric for ferroelectric devices, which is dependent on the complex interplay between a multitude of factors. Mechanisms such as oxygen vacancy generation, charge trapping and detrapping are relevant in the degradation physics of hafnia-based ferroelectric devices. A large difference in Time-to-Failure in Metal – Ferroelectric – Insulator - Semiconductor (MFIS) devices in response to Interrupted and Uninterrupted Constant Voltage Stressing was found, which underscores the significance of stress interruption on the degradation physics occurring in the device. However, the effect of interruptions during stressing in MFIS devices is relatively unexplored. This work aims to pave the way for the development of stressing schemes for the evaluation of ferroelectric devices with closer adherence to practical operating conditions.

Resistive random-access memory (RRAM) demonstrates excellent radiation tolerance characteristics, making it highly suitable for a wide range of applications in harsh radiation environments such as aerospace. This work specifically investigates the impact of total ionizing dose (TID) radiation on the electrical performance of HfO2/TaOx-based RRAM. Through an analysis of the electrical characteristics before and after irradiation, we thoroughly examine the evolution of performance and the mechanism of radiation damage in two types of HfO2/TaOx-based RRAMs under high-energy gamma rays. The findings from this study will serve as a valuable reference for the development and radiation hardening of HfO2/TaOx-based RRAMs designed to operate effectively in harsh radiation environments.

Current research presents the mathematical modeling highlighting the interface trap charge degraded characteristics of Surrounding Gate-Engineered Tubular Channel Junctionless MOSFET including temperature variation. Salient device features such as drain current, Ion/Ioff ratio, transconductance, off-current temperature sensitivity, threshold voltage have been explored to investigate the temperature influences comparing the damaged and undamaged configuration of the device. Extent of subthreshold swing variations under thermal influence has been analyzed. Impact of channel length scaling, channel thickness and oxide-thickness variation on device features have also been reported in this research. Analytical outputs have been corroborated using simulation outputs from Silvaco Atlas 3D.

While Resistive RRAM (RRAM) provides appealing features for artificial neural networks (NN) such as low power operation and high density, its conductance variation can pose significant challenges for synaptic weight storage. This paper reports an experimental evaluation of the conductance variations of manufactured RRAMs memory cells at the memory array level. Variability is evaluated with respect to the RRAM low resistance state (LRS) and high resistance state (HRS) conductance ratio. This ratio is selected as the parameter of interest as it guarantees the proper operation of the RRAM: the larger the ratio, the more reliable and robust the RRAM cell is in storing and retrieving data. The measurement results show that conductance ratio is significantly influenced by variability. Using these findings, the performance of an artificial neural network that uses individual RRAM cells for synaptic weight storage is evaluated in relation to conductance variability. It is shown that RRAM variability can heavily affect the network behavior, resulting in a substantial decrease in the classification accuracy during inference.

This paper reports an experimental evaluation of the conductance variations of manufactured RRAMs memory cells at the memory array level. Variability is evaluated with respect to the RRAM low resistance state (LRS) and high resistance state (HRS) conductance ratio. This ratio is selected as the parameter of interest as it guarantees the proper operation of the RRAM: the larger the ratio, the more reliable and robust the RRAM cell is in storing and retrieving data. The measurement results show that conductance ratio is significantly influenced by variability. Using these findings, the performance of an artificial neural network that uses individual RRAM cells for synaptic weight storage is evaluated in relation to conductance variability.
