The effect of constant temperature and humidity environments on the durability of interconnects in underfilled Flip-Chip-on-Board (FCOB) assemblies is investigated in this study. Polymeric underfills, used to enhance thermomechanical durability of the interconnects, are found to create new failure modes due to hygromechanical swelling. Based on experimental observations, the failure mechanism is hypothesized to be cracking of intermetallics, which have weakened due to thermal aging. Pseudo 3-D finite element analyses are conducted to quantify the moisture absorption and diffusion through the polymeric underfill, and the resulting hygromechanical viscoplastic stress history. The simulations are combined with accelerated aging tests to assess in-service durability in hot, humid environments. Model predictions are compared with results of accelerated life tests available in the literature.

This paper proposes a method of estimating the lifetime distribution at use condition for constant stress accelerated life tests when an extrinsic failure mode as well as intrinsic one exists. A mixture of two distributions is introduced to describe these failure modes. It is assumed that the log lifetime of each failure mode follows a location-scale distribution and a linear relation exists between the location parameter and the stress. An estimation procedure using the expectation and maximization algorithm is proposed and specific formulas for Weibull distribution are obtained. Simulation studies are performed to investigate the properties of the estimates and the effects of stress level. Numerical comparisons with the masked data model are also performed.
