Research On Reliability Of SMT Soldered Joints And FEM Analysis Of CBGA Soldered Joints

The reliability of soldered joints of electronic devices in surface mount technology is a key factor for the extensive application of electronic products. Therefore, aimed at meeting the needs of the components and devices for some type military products, the reliability of soldered joints of QFP, PBGA and CBGA have been studied in considerable detail.The tensile strengths of QFP joints were tested by means of STR-1000 Micro-joints Tester and the effects of pitch numbers, solder paste composition (SnPb paste and SnAgCu paste) on the mechanical properties of QFP joints were studied and the fracture micrograph of joints was also analyzed by means of SEM. The results indicate that under the condition of same pitch numbers, the tensile strength of the QFP joints soldered with SnAgCu solder paste is higher than that with SnPb solder paste; under the condition of same solder paste composition, the tensile strength of the QFP joints soldered with 48 pitches is lower than that with 100 pitches.Though PBGA packaging overcame the defect of QFP joints which the pitch is too fine, the detection method for the soldered joints of PBGA needs to be perfected. A series of PBGA soldered joints were detected by X-ray method, the shear strengths of soldered joints were detected by means of Micro-joints Tester, and the analysis and evaluation on shear strengths of PBGA balls with different diameters were also carried out. The results indicate that under the same conditions, the bigger the diameter is, the smaller the unit shear strength is, and the shear strength of PBGA joints soldered with eutectic solder is larger than that of tin-lead solder itself.Although CBGA packaging overcame the defect of PBGA packaging which it is easy to absorb moisture, the reliability of CBGA soldered joints still needs to research deeply. According to American Military Standard (MIL-STD-883), the reliability of CBGA soldered joints was studied under thermal cycling. The results indicate that the cracks emerged at the down interface of soldered joints which thermal cycling is up to 170 times and been expanded along grain boundary, and when thermal cycling is up to 240 times, the soldered joints fail. With the increase of thermal cycling times, the cracks expanded to the up interface of the soldered joints, the grains grown coarse and...
