In this paper, we followed the advice of Prof. Tu to investigate the effect of stress on the electromigration behavior of solder. Static electro migration test and thermal cycle test (-55°C -125°C) with maximum current density of 2xl04A/cm2 were performed. In the fatigue test, it was found that the specimens without electricity had the longest MTTF which suggested electro migration may accelerate failure regardless of the stress at entrance of current. While the MTTF of the specimens with tensile stress at entrance was a little longer than those with compressive stress at entrance. During the past 5500 hours of static electromigration test, more than two thirds of the samples from each group failed, it was found that the failure of the specimens with tensile stress at entrance centered on 1000h, 3000h and 5000h while those with compressive stress at entrance to be scattered and the life span seemed shorter.
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.
