Abstract

The structure of flip chip solder bumps was optimized in terms of shear height and shear speed using a shear test method with both experimental investigation and nonlinear, three-dimensional, finite element analysis being conducted. A representative, Pb-free solder composition, Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu, was used to optimize the shear test of the flip chip solder joints. Increasing the shear height, at a fixed shear speed, decreased the shear force, as did decreasing the shear speed, at a fixed shear height. These experimental and computational results supported the recommendation of low shear height and low shear speed condition for the shear testing of flip chip solder bumps. This optimized shear test method was applied to investigate the effect of various heights of mini bumps on the shear force of the solder joints. The shear force increased with increasing Ni-P mini bump height.
