5.2 Modeling Procedure<br />

In this project, all packages were subjected to thermal cycle testing and modeled in the<br />

ANSYS V.11.0 finite element program. The thermal cycle environment was simulated and the<br />

finite element model was validated with the actual thermal cycling results. The goal of the<br />

modeling ef<strong>for</strong>t was to achieve good correlation between the actual testing failure mode and<br />

simulation failure mode <strong>for</strong> the two different packages fabricated in this research: standard<br />

WLCSP and SolderBrace material coated WLCSP.<br />

As mentioned in the previous sections, the construction of a finite element model is mainly<br />

composed of the consideration of the package geometry, the material properties, the mesh, and<br />

the loading profile. Several assumptions were specified in the simulation such as uni<strong>for</strong>m<br />

temperature distribution in the package, no initial residual stress, no transient heat transfer, and<br />

gradually applied temperature loading.<br />

5.2.1 Geometry<br />

A 6x6 mm, 36-ball (6x6 Full Matrix) package was analyzed in this study. The schematic<br />

representation of the assembly (standard and SolderBrace-coated WLCSP) is shown in Figure<br />

5.5, where different structural elements and their relative positions have been identified. All the<br />

UBM, soldermask and cupper pads were omitted in the simulation <strong>for</strong> simplicity.<br />
