Why is this an issue?
o Increasing number of companies reporting early life failures during the
manufacturing process, testing or in the field
o Classic solder fatigue approaches do not seem to be capturing these risks
Real CTE mismatch
Shear, Tension
and compression

Overconstrained Boards
o Why does an overly constrained board cause failures?
o We usually consider the CTE mismatch between the board and the components
o The board CTE value is no longer valid if it is being affected by an external source
o The board CTE and the Aluminum CTE mismatch
o At higher temperatures: The Aluminum expands more than the board
o At colder temperatures: The Aluminum shrinks more than the board

A Little Bit of History
o The industry did not have components that were drastically affected by board bending
o Heat sinks on the component
o Small, supported by the leads
o Larger heat sinks connected to the board and even larger: directly to the case
o Weight supported by the case
o Localized effect
o Somewhere along the way we forgot how to design for this issue

Overconstrained Board Mitigation
o Shoulder Bolts
o The fastener and shoulder prevent the board from being squeezed by the bolt
o The shoulder should be designed to have a small gap
o CTE in the Z direction
o Board: 30 to 40 ppm/°C
o Steel bolt: 10 to 17 ppm/°C
o Aluminum bolt: 24 ppm/°C
o Allow for more expansion in the board
o Consider a low-friction spacer material
o Tolerances are difficult

Overconstrained Board Mitigation
o Slotted Holes
o The slot allows more freedom for the housing to expando No friction between the bolt and board
o Maintains the Z direction constraint
o Wider than the shoulder
o Length of the slot
o The slot can be 0.1 mm larger than the shoulder and it will be sufficient in most cases
o Can usually use a larger hole diameter
o It is possible to decrease the board reliability with improper mounting conditions
o We can predict the effect of improper mounting
o It can be done experimentally too
o We don’t have an easy way to predict the failures due to bending
o Prevent this issue by using appropriate mounting conditions

Underfill and Conformal Coating
o Underfill is used to mitigate Shock
and Vibration failures
o Trade off between performance in
mechanical loads and temperature
cycling loads
o Underfill can be bad for TC
o Hard material and high CTE under
BGA and QFN components

o Components
o 17x17mm, 256 IO BGA
o Test vehicle
o 2.05 mm (81mil) thick
o 8 layer PCB
o Populated with 60 BGAs
o ‘Thick’ coating was applied to components on one side of the board with a syringe
o Ensures that it wicked under the BGAs
o ‘Standard’ coating was then sprayed on the other half of the board

Failures Due to Improper Conformal Coating
SAC305 Control sample (no coating) showing cracking along bottom pad
Failure of SAC305 BGA with acrylic conformal coating (-55 to 125°C)
o Results show a distinct difference in solder joint failure mechanism between Standard and Thick conformal coating processes
o Higher loads transfer to Pb-free solder resulting in severe plastic deformation
o Pb-free solder is less compliant than SnPb solder, which led to shorter fatigue life under similar test conditions
Standard
Thick
No Coat

prediction of reliability for double-sided area
array assemblies." Electronic Components and
Technology Conference, 2003. Proceedings.
53rd. IEEE, 2003.
o Previous researchers have shown the negative effect of double sided
configuration on the thermo-mechanical fatigue life of area array components.
o A 2x to 3x decrease in reliability can occur in mirror image assemblies
compared to single sides configurations.

Effect of Mirroring Components
o FEA modeling on 17x17mm BGA with 256 IO.
o Over-constraining of the PCB resulting in reduced package compliance and larger strain transfer to solder joints along with the DNP effect.
