Abstract:

Because of the coefficient of thermal expansion and the hygroscopic swelling mismatches on plastic packaging materials, stress and reliability issues on microelectronic packaging structures are extremely important for the packaging industry. Through the self-design test chips with the piezoresistive microstress sensors, this paper presents the experimental methodologies for stress and reliability monitoring on typical plastic ball-grid-array packaging. To this end, coefficients of the sensors are first calibrated, and stress monitoring is next performed with simultaneously thermal and hygroscopic loadings under steady-state and cyclic environments, respectively. The Weibull reliability model is next applied based on the experimental data and the parameters of the model are extracted. After real-time monitoring on stress variations during the reliability test, about 0.8 MPa of stress decrease is measured on each reliability cycle.
