Abstract

An investigation of the flip-chip bonding process for application in MEMS devices was carried out. Finite element analyses of axisymmetric and non-axisymmetric solder joint geometries were performed. It was found that in typical cases of MEMS devices in which the solder volume is small (Bo≪1, where Bo is the Bond number), the finite element solution of the axisymmetric solder joint is well approximated by a surface of revolution whose generating meridian is a circular arc. Experimental results of solder joints in flip-chip assembly were found to correlate well with simulation results.
