Abstract

We propose complementary solutions to improve the evaluation of PCB under specific stresses using electrical and physical indicators adapted to a given part of the board. For ceramic capacitors, the residual piezoelectricity provides an impedance signature at resonance allowing detection of local physical defects. Solder joint fatigue criticity under a thermal cycle can be predicted using combined analytical and FEM simulations, while the lead phases coarsening provides a good early degradation indicator. Finally, the ball inspection of BGA packages using shear waves in scanning acoustic microscope lead to an interesting improvement of resolution.
