Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the inelastic strain range and the thermal fatigue lives of chip size package solder joints with Sn-Pb and Sn-Ag-Cu solder balls. The inelastic strain range was examined by finite element analysis. In both solder joints, the exponential terms in the inelastic strain range term in the Coffin-Manson equation were evaluated as 1.8 - 2.3. These values are very close to the conventional one used in Sn-Pb and the Pb containing solders. The inelastic strain range is almost proportional to the temperature range in the Sn-Pb solder joint. On the contrary, the inelastic strain range is proportional to approximately the square root of the temperature range in the Sn-Ag-Cu solder joint. The deference depends on the change of the stress-strain hysteresis curve in the thermal cycle.
