Abstract

Reliability testing and failure modelling is crucial and very challenging for modern electronics, especially safety critical electronics-based systems working under harsh environmental conditions. In this paper, an approach based on ultrasonic Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) is proposed to establish a failure model for solder joints which is urgently needed for prognostic and health management of electronics. Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) containing flip-chip and Area Array packages were designed and aged using Accelerated Thermal Cycling (ATC) testing. During ATC testing solder joint degradation was regularly monitored by taking out the test boards from the temperature chamber at four thermal cycle intervals for ultrasonic micro-imaging. Data pre-processing techniques including dynamic range-based intensity normalization, gain compensation, and calibration for random transducer defocusing errors were developed to enhance the data consistency, integrity and accuracy. Furthermore, solder joint image labelling and segmentation methods were developed by exploiting the geometrical features of the solder joints to extract individual solder joints and Region of Interests (ROIs) from the sequential ultrasound images collected throughout the testing. The mean intensity of the ROIs was used as the precursor to degradation to build the solder joint failure model, from which cycles to failure for individual solder joints are finally derived for life prediction.
