This diploma thesis is focused on detecting of defects on BGA (Ball Grid Array) components using of X-ray. Defects are formed during reflow BGA components during assembly, but also later due to mechanical and thermal stress. Therefore, there is an overview of defects and methods of diagnosis of BGA packages eg .: modern X-ray defect detection or micro sections. There is disclosed a device NORDSON DAGE XD7600NT its operation and setup. The device enables advanced methods of scanning called X-plane. For creating 3D models used reconstructive software called CERA, which uses raw data from the method of X-Plane.

Double cantilever beam (DCB) specimens with distinct intermetallic microstructures and different geometries were fractured under different mode ratios of loading, ψ, to obtain critical strain energy release rate, Jc. The strain energy release rate at crack initiation, Jci, increased with phase angle, ψ, but remained unaffected by the joint geometry. However, the steady-state energy release rate, Jcs, increased with the solder layer thickness. Also, both the Jci and Jcs decreased with the thickness of the intermetallic compound layer. Next, mode I and mixed-mode fracture tests were performed on discrete (l=2 mm and l=5 mm) solder joints arranged in a linear array between two copper bars to evaluate the J = Jci (ψ) failure criteria using finite element analysis. Failure loads of both the discrete joints and the joints in commercial electronic assemblies were predicted reasonably well using the Jci from the continuous DCBs. In addition, the mode-I fracture of the discrete joints was simulated with a cohesive zone model which predicted reasonably well not only the fracture loads but also the overall load-displacement behavior of the specimen. Additionally, the Jci calculated from FEA were verified estimated from measured crack opening displacements in both the continuous and discrete joints. Finally, the pad-crater fracture mode of solder joints was characterized in terms of the Jci measured at various mode ratios, ψ. Specimens were prepared from lead-free chip scale package-PCB assemblies and fractured at low and high loading rates in various bending configurations to generate a range of mode ratios. The specimens tested at low loading rates all failed by pad cratering, while the ones tested at higher loading rates fractured in the brittle intermetallic layer of the solder. The Jci of pad cratering increased with the phase angle, ψ, but was independent of surface finish and reflow profile. The generality of the J =Jci(ψ) failure criterion to predict pad cratering fracture was then demonstrated by predicting the fracture loads of single lap-shear specimens made from the same assemblies.

À medida que a tecnologia de perfuração de poços desenvolveu-se nos últimos anos, explorando cada vez maiores profundidades, os efeitos do desgaste e corrosão têm aumentado proporcionalmente. Uma forma de viabilizar a exploração em águas profundas é revestir as ligas de aço de menor custo com ligas especiais de melhores propriedades, como a liga Inconel® 625. Os parâmetros de soldagem utilizados para a deposição de camadas sobre o substrato influenciam diretamente na qualidade e nas propriedades desses revestimentos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi determinar a influência das principais variáveis de soldagem sobre a dureza ao riscamento e coeficiente de atrito da superfície originada após a deposição de cordões de solda para revestimento. Foi utilizada a técnica de soldagem TIG alimentado automaticamente com duplo arame aquecido. As variáveis estudadas foram: Corrente de Soldagem; Velocidade de Soldagem; Corrente para Aquecimento do Material de Adição; Velocidade de Alimentação do Material de Adição e Composição do Gás de Proteção. Para a realização do estudo foi elaborado um planejamento experimental (DoE), composto central, de 05 fatores, totalizando 32 condições, cada uma correspondendo a cordões de solda depositados com diferentes conjuntos de variáveis. Os cordões foram submetidos ao ensaio de riscamento, onde foram medidos a área do sulco e o coeficiente de atrito da superfície. Os riscos gerados foram analisados em tribômetro para obtenção da topografia em 3D, e em Microscópio Eletrônico de Varredura (MEV). A análise da influência das variáveis de soldagem sobre a área do sulco e o coeficiente de atrito foi realizada pela metodologia de superfície de resposta (RSM). Foram obtidos modelos matemáticos de 1ª e 2ª ordem correlacionando as variáveis de soldagem à área do sulco e ao coeficiente de atrito da superfície. Também foram geradas superfícies que correlacionam as variáveis às respostas. Observou-se que as variáveis de principal influência sobre a área do sulco são a velocidade de soldagem, corrente do arame e gás de soldagem, e que a velocidade de alimentação do arame possui forte influência quando relacionada com as outras variáveis de processo. Para o coeficiente de atrito, os fatores de maior influência foram as correlações entre as variáveis, principalmente a corrente de soldagem. / As well drilling technology has developed in recent years, exploring ever greater depths, the effects of wear and corrosion have increased proportionately. One way to make deep-water exploration feasible is to coat lower-cost steel alloys with special alloys of better properties, such as the Inconel® 625 alloy. The welding parameters used for deposition of layers on the substrate directly influence the quality and properties of these coatings. The objective of this work was to determine the influence of the main welding variables on the hardness to scratch and surface friction coefficient originated after the deposition of weld beads for coating. The GTAW welding technique was automatically fed with double heated wire. The variables studied were: Welding Current; Welding Speed; Current for Heating the Addition Material; Feed Speed of Addition Material and Shielding Gas Composition. Design of Experiments (DoE) technique was applied, central composite, of 05 factors, totalizing 32 conditions, each corresponding to weld beads deposited with different sets of variables. The beads were subjected to the scratch test, where the scar area and the surface friction coefficient were measured. The scratches were analyzed in tribometer to obtain the topography in 3D, and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The analysis of the influence of the welding variables on the scar area and the friction coefficient was performed by the response surface methodology (RSM). First and second order mathematical models were obtained, correlating the welding variables to the scar area and the surface friction coefficient. Surfaces that correlate variables with responses were also generated. It was observed that the variables of main influence on the scar area are the welding speed, wire current and welding gas, and that the wire feed speed has a strong influence when related to the other process variables. For the coefficient of friction, the factors of greater influence were the correlations among the variables, mainly the welding current.

L’augmentation de la puissance électrique consommée à bord des avions a récemment conduit à introduire des convertisseurs électroniques de puissance à base d'interrupteurs à IGBT dans de nombreuses applications aéronautiques. L'utilisation de ces interrupteurs diffère de leurs emplois traditionnels dans les domaines du ferroviaire ou de l'automobile. En effet, les sollicitations environnementales ainsi que les cycles de commandes électriques sont différents de ceux rencontrés jusqu’alors, ce qui amène à remettre en cause les résultats actuels au sujet de la durée de vie et de la fiabilité de ces interrupteurs. Face à ces interrogations, les sociétés THALES et Hispano-Suiza se sont associées au sein du programme de l’avion plus électrique MODERNE (MODular ElectRical NEtwork) initié par Airbus, en vue de développer des solutions à haut niveau de fiabilité pour des applications aéronautiques sévères. C’est dans ce contexte que prennent place les présents travaux, dont les objectifs sont dans un premier temps de proposer de nouvelles architectures de modules susceptibles de présenter de meilleures performances d’intégration, et dans un second temps d’en étudier la fiabilité. Pour répondre à ces questions, un état de l'art des technologies utilisables a été mené. La confrontation de ses technologies aux contraintes et recommandations aéronautiques a conduit au choix de deux approches d'assemblage, proposées avec un jeu de matériaux sélectionnés pour leurs propriétés physiques et en conformité avec les réglementations sur l’utilisation de matériaux polluants. À l'issue d'une analyse de défaillances, différents développements ont été conduits afin de modéliser et caractériser le comportement thermique, mécanique puis à défaillance des modules. Des modèles Éléments Finis de structures représentatives des solutions proposées ont alors été mis au point et exploités pour l'élaboration de règles de conception, sur la base de plans d'expériences couplés à de la simulation numériques. Les informations générées ont servi à la conception de trois prototypes destinés à des applications différentes. Les performances de ces prototypes ont été évaluées, notamment leurs fiabilités obtenues par des calculs mécano-fiabilistes ayant permis l'optimisation de la conception des différents modules. / Within the framework of the electric plane programs, the aircraft industry is facing higher demands of electric power, fact which involves an increasing use of IGBT modules in aeronautical power converters. Although such modules have been well studied and known in railway and the automotive domains, they will be subjected to stresses and operational cycles specific to the aeronautical environment. Consequently, this requires manufacturers to answer some questions about their lifetime and reliability issues. Faced with these questions, THALES and Hispano-Suiza have associated in the more electric aircraft project launched by Airbus (MODERNE - MODular ElectRical NEtwork), with the aim of developing high reliability solutions for harsh aeronautic applications. This work takes place in this context, with the objectives of proposing power modules architectures likely to exhibit better performances and integration level, and then study the reliability of different prototypes. To answer these questions, technological studies of the possible packaging and connecting solutions, faced with aeronautical stresses and requirements led to the choice of two basic assembling approaches. A set of materials selected for their physical properties and their compliance with polluting materials regulations was also proposed. The potential failure modes of these solutions were pointed out and taken into account within experimental and numerical developments, to model and characterize the thermal, mechanical and failure behaviour of the modules. Then, different Finite Element models representative of the proposed technologies structures were developed and investigated for defining design rules on the basis of Designs of Experiments. The whole knowledge generated by the simulations was used to design three prototypes of IGBT module for different applications. The performance of these prototypes have been evaluated and compared to the requirements, including their reliability obtained by mechanical calculations coupled with probabilistic methods which led to their optimization.

Le mémoire porte sur l’étude de la fiabilité des assemblages utilisant des alliages de brasure sans-plomb en environnement sévère pour des applications électroniques. Une méthode de préparation métallographique fiable et reproductible en vue de l’analyse microstructurale est présentée. L'effet du vieillissement thermique statique sur l’évolution microstructurale de billes de brasure en SAC, la tenue à la fatigue mécanique des assemblages brasés et l'étude de l'endommagement thermomécanique sont développés. Le seul effet notable constaté après vieillissement thermique est l'augmentation des épaisseurs des intermétalliques de contact. A la suite de sollicitations mécaniques, les ruptures sont plus souvent observées dans les pistes que dans les brasures, et ne permettent pas d'incriminer des éléments de la microstructure brasée comme facteurs déterminant de propagation des fissures. Les sollicitations thermomécaniques conduisent à une recristallisation, et les fissures se propagent alors le long des joints de grains recristallisés. / The thesis focuses on the study of the reliability of assemblies using Pb-free alloys under' harsh environment for electronic applications. A method for preparing metallographic reliable and reproducible for the microstructural analysis is presented. The effect of thermal aging on the static microstructural evolution of solder balls in SAC, the resistance to mechanical fatigue of solder joints and the study of thermomechanical damage are developed. The only significant effect observed after thermal aging is the increase in thickness of the intermetallic contact. Following mechanical, ruptures are most often seen in the copper tracks of the assembly, and do not blame the solder microstructure elements as determinants of crack propagation. The thermomechanical stresses lead to recrystallization, and then cracks propagate along the grain boundaries of recrystallized.
