4.4 Failure Analysis The main purpose for reliability test was to define the failure mode, determine the location of the failure, and understand the weakness of the package. General failure mechanisms include solder fatigue, inter-metallic (IMC) formation, and Si cratering,. Figure 4.9 shows the failure modes that are known to occur in assemblies subjected to mechanical loading conditions. The distribution of these failure modes depend on several factors such as the package type, the solder metallurgy used, PCB materials, and component-to-PCB-pad size ratio. Usually, multiple failure modes occur concurrently, at different strain and strain rate levels. Figure 4.9 Different failure modes in PCB assembly [78] 89
