Abstract

Surface mounted microelectronic (SMT) consist of components and packages mounted on printed circuit board (PCB) via solder joints. The SMT assemblies are subjected to elevated temperature during processing as well as during usage cycles. The processes result in thermal-mechanical strain to the SMT package which can reduce the lifespan of the product. In this work, the thermomechanical behaviour of a surface mounted microelectronic package-a solid state drive (SSD) is studied by finite element analysis (FEA). The results show that bared PCB warped when it is heated while PCB with packages resists the warpage thus generating stress at the solder joints. The results show that the stress level at the top of the solder joint (between the package and solder ball) is higher than the stress generated at the bottom of the solder joint (between the solder ball and PCB). FEA simulation also shows when a package is reduced in size by 50%, the thermomechanical induced stress at the solder joints decreased to a value well below the stress limit of the solder joint materials.
