This paper is an overview of applications of CAE (computer-aided-engineering) in design for package and board level reliability of System-in-Package (SiP). CAE is an efficient tool for virtual prototyping of complex SiP to save the development time and cost with understanding on the physics of failures. The paper highlights on five major reliability issues frequently encountered in the development of SiP, such as thermo-mechanical related package failures, matrix package warpage, moisture-induced package failures, board level solder joint reliability under thermal cycling test and drop test. For each individual topic, introduction, brief theory, and an example of application with correlation to experiment are given.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
