In this study a multiscale interface element method (MIEM) is developed to evaluate the interfacial peel and shear stressdistributions in multilayer packaging structures A newly developed polygon interface element contained many sides that couldeasily connect with many other polygon elements of much smaller scale Simple model and less computation can obtain accuratestress distributions After verification of the validity of the developedmodelMIEM is applied to analyze thermal stress distributionof the chip scale package (CSP) In general a good qualitative agreement has been observed between the various results MoreoverMIEM can directly obtain the stress value at the interface which is also one of the advantages of this method in dealing withmultilayer structures
1 Introduction
Higher integration has become a trend in modern electronicpackaging One of the major challenges is to improve thethermomechanical reliability when the package is subjectedto the thermal loads However the conjunct interfaces nearthe free edge always suffer high stress gradients and evencan generate cracks because the packaging components arefabricated with different thermal and mechanical properties[1 2] Suhir [3] predicted the thermal stresses in the layeredstructures The method provided an easy-to-use estimationmethod for interfacial stresses between layers Pao et al[4 5] developed Suhirrsquos model for extension to multilayerstructures The proposed model can estimate the total forceproduced by the solder joint from the equation of forcebalance Oda and Sakamoto [6] proposed a special finite-element method for multiple laminated structures From theresults of the basic IC model the influences of varying chipsize and package thickness for the stress distributions arepresented Ye et al [7] analyzed a simple insulated gate bipolartransistor (IGBT) model and obtained the stress and strainin the solder layer From the results the thermal cycling hadsignificant effect on the solder layer reliability Ghorbani andSpelt [8 9] developed a two-dimensional analytical model
to investigate the interfacial thermal stresses in the solderjoints of a leadless chip resistor (LCR) And the results werecompared with finite element analysis
Finite element method (FEM) has been widely usedto solve engineering problems in recent decades But fordisplacement discontinuity problems the stability of numer-ical results will not be ensured Zhuo et al [10] presentedthe interface stress element method (ISEM) for solvingthe problem of discontinuous media mechanics The ideacame from rigid body spring model (RBSM) presented byKawai [11] Zhuo and Zhang [12] applied ISEM to ana-lyze engineering problems the ISEM is more accurate andapplicable compared with the traditional FEM Zhang etal [13] proposed an ISEM-FEM-IEM hybrid model whichsolved the conflict between computational accuracy andefficiency These examples demonstrate the applicability andadaptability of the model to the engineering In additionZhang et al [14] performed algorithm of ISEM for blockelements of arbitrary shape using natural coordinate Thenumerical results show that the method was feasible andaccurate
As mentioned above many studies have shown the use ofISEM in analyzing the engineering problems In this studyISEM is applied to analyze the thermal stress distribution of

2 Derivations of Interface-Element Method
21 e Governing Equation The interface element method(IEM) is based upon the discipline of stress vector (tractions)continuity on the interfaces by assuming rigid element andsatisfying interfacial constraint equations In IEM modela complicated domain can be subdivided into a series ofsmaller regions named block element The block elementis undeformable and it can be separated and producesrigid body motion when an external load is applied Thedeformations are accumulated on the conjunct interface ofblock elements The internal energy caused by deformationof the interface area can be related to the work done by thesurface traction around the block element For equilibriumsolution it satisfies the fact that

22 Displacement Distribution in Interfacial Element A four-node 2D interface element for illustrated purpose is shownin Figure 1 in which 997888119899 and 997888119904 represent the local coordinatesystem that are normal direction and shear direction to the
interface surfaceThe displacement field of the block elementcould be expressed by the rigid body motion translationaland rotational such as
119906 = 119873 times 119906119892119906 = [119906 V]119879119906119892 = [119906119892 V119892 120579]119879
119873 = [1 0 119910119892 minus 1199100 1 119909 minus 119909119892]
(3)
where 119906 denotes the displacement vector at any point in theblock element 119906119892 is the degree of freedom at the mass ofcenter and119873 is the shape function With respect to the localsystem the relative displacements at interface element arethen derived as

In the above equation 120575119899 is normal displacement 120575119904 is theshear displacement and L is the coordinate transformationmatrix which reads
119871 = [[cos (997888119899 997888119909) cos (997888119899 997888119910)cos (997888119904 997888119909) cos (997888119904 997888119910)]]
1198711 = minus1198712 = 119871

23 Stress Distribution in Interfacial Element A measure ofthe relative displacement of the block element is referred to asstrain on interface As shown in Figure 2 for any point M oninterface surface the normal strain contributed from blockelement 1 is expressed as the change in length 1205751119899 per unit ofthe original length 1198751119872 = ℎ1 in the local system where 1198751119872is the normal distance from the centroid of block element 1to point M The shear strain is evaluated from the ratio ofslide distance 1205751119904 from block element 1 to the original lengthℎ1 The strain in the region of block element 2 is calculatedin a similar way In summary the components of strain aredefined as follows
120576119894119899 = 120575119894119899ℎ119894120574119894119904 = 120575119894119904ℎ119894

In plane stress situation the components of stress can beevaluated by the following equation
120590119894119899 = 119864119894120576119894119899 = 119864119894 120575119894119899ℎ119894120591119894119904 = 119866119894120574119894119904 = 1198642 (1 + V119894)

From the shear stress distribution the final point ofcalculated stress curve by MIEM is closer to the singularitythan the FEM and the value is higher because MIEMhas the characteristics of the smaller interface mesh Fromthe peel stress distribution a good agreement has beenobtained between the two sets of results MIEM can directlyobtain the stress value at the interface which is also oneof the advantages of this method in dealing with multilayerstructures

2 Derivations of Interface-Element Method
21 e Governing Equation The interface element method(IEM) is based upon the discipline of stress vector (tractions)continuity on the interfaces by assuming rigid element andsatisfying interfacial constraint equations In IEM modela complicated domain can be subdivided into a series ofsmaller regions named block element The block elementis undeformable and it can be separated and producesrigid body motion when an external load is applied Thedeformations are accumulated on the conjunct interface ofblock elements The internal energy caused by deformationof the interface area can be related to the work done by thesurface traction around the block element For equilibriumsolution it satisfies the fact that

22 Displacement Distribution in Interfacial Element A four-node 2D interface element for illustrated purpose is shownin Figure 1 in which 997888119899 and 997888119904 represent the local coordinatesystem that are normal direction and shear direction to the
interface surfaceThe displacement field of the block elementcould be expressed by the rigid body motion translationaland rotational such as
119906 = 119873 times 119906119892119906 = [119906 V]119879119906119892 = [119906119892 V119892 120579]119879
119873 = [1 0 119910119892 minus 1199100 1 119909 minus 119909119892]
(3)
where 119906 denotes the displacement vector at any point in theblock element 119906119892 is the degree of freedom at the mass ofcenter and119873 is the shape function With respect to the localsystem the relative displacements at interface element arethen derived as

In the above equation 120575119899 is normal displacement 120575119904 is theshear displacement and L is the coordinate transformationmatrix which reads
119871 = [[cos (997888119899 997888119909) cos (997888119899 997888119910)cos (997888119904 997888119909) cos (997888119904 997888119910)]]
1198711 = minus1198712 = 119871

23 Stress Distribution in Interfacial Element A measure ofthe relative displacement of the block element is referred to asstrain on interface As shown in Figure 2 for any point M oninterface surface the normal strain contributed from blockelement 1 is expressed as the change in length 1205751119899 per unit ofthe original length 1198751119872 = ℎ1 in the local system where 1198751119872is the normal distance from the centroid of block element 1to point M The shear strain is evaluated from the ratio ofslide distance 1205751119904 from block element 1 to the original lengthℎ1 The strain in the region of block element 2 is calculatedin a similar way In summary the components of strain aredefined as follows
120576119894119899 = 120575119894119899ℎ119894120574119894119904 = 120575119894119904ℎ119894

In plane stress situation the components of stress can beevaluated by the following equation
120590119894119899 = 119864119894120576119894119899 = 119864119894 120575119894119899ℎ119894120591119894119904 = 119866119894120574119894119904 = 1198642 (1 + V119894)

From the shear stress distribution the final point ofcalculated stress curve by MIEM is closer to the singularitythan the FEM and the value is higher because MIEMhas the characteristics of the smaller interface mesh Fromthe peel stress distribution a good agreement has beenobtained between the two sets of results MIEM can directlyobtain the stress value at the interface which is also oneof the advantages of this method in dealing with multilayerstructures

From the shear stress distribution the final point ofcalculated stress curve by MIEM is closer to the singularitythan the FEM and the value is higher because MIEMhas the characteristics of the smaller interface mesh Fromthe peel stress distribution a good agreement has beenobtained between the two sets of results MIEM can directlyobtain the stress value at the interface which is also oneof the advantages of this method in dealing with multilayerstructures

From the shear stress distribution the final point ofcalculated stress curve by MIEM is closer to the singularitythan the FEM and the value is higher because MIEMhas the characteristics of the smaller interface mesh Fromthe peel stress distribution a good agreement has beenobtained between the two sets of results MIEM can directlyobtain the stress value at the interface which is also oneof the advantages of this method in dealing with multilayerstructures

From the shear stress distribution the final point ofcalculated stress curve by MIEM is closer to the singularitythan the FEM and the value is higher because MIEMhas the characteristics of the smaller interface mesh Fromthe peel stress distribution a good agreement has beenobtained between the two sets of results MIEM can directlyobtain the stress value at the interface which is also oneof the advantages of this method in dealing with multilayerstructures
