Quick assessment methodology for reliability of solder joints in ball grid array (BGA) assembly—Part I: Creep constitutive relation and fatigue model

In this study, a new unified creep constitutive relation and a modified energy-based fatigue model have been established respectively to describe the creep flow and predict the fatigue life of Sn−Pb solders. It is found that the relation successfully elucidates the creep mechanism related to current constitutive relations. The model can be used to describe the temperature and frequency dependent low cycle fatigue behavior of the solder. The relation and the model are further employed in part II to develop the numerical simulation approach for the long-term reliability assessment of the plastic ball grid array (BGA) assembly.

Quick assessment methodology for reliability of solder joints in ball grid array (BGA) assembly—Part II: Reliability experiment and numerical simulation

In the present study, a facility, i.e., a mechanical deflection system (MDS), was established and applied to assess the long-term reliability of the solder joints in plastic ball grid array (BGA) assembly. It was found that the MDS not only quickly assesses the long-term reliability of solder joints within days, but can also mimic similar failure mechanisms in accelerated thermal cycling (ATC) tests. Based on the MDS and ATC reliability experiments, the acceleration factors (AF) were obtained for different reliability testing conditions. Furthermore, by using the creep constitutive relation and fatigue life model developed in part I, a numerical approach was established for the purpose of virtual life prediction of solder joints. The simulation results were found to be in good agreement with the test results from the MDS. As a result, a new reliability assessment methodology was established as an alternative to ATC for the evaluation of long-term reliability of plastic BGA assembly.

Astrophysical S-factors from asymptotic normalization coefficients

S-factors for direct capture reactions can be found at astrophysical energies from asymptotic normalization coefficients which provide the normalization of the tail of the overlap function. For example the overlap for ⁸B → ⁷Be+p defines the S-factor for ⁷Be (p, γ)⁸B. Peripheral transfer reactions offer a technique to determine these asymptotic normalization coefficients. As a test of the technique, the ¹⁶O(³He, d)¹⁷F reaction has been used to determine asymptotic normalization coefficients for transitions to the ground and first excited states of ¹⁷F. The S-factors for ¹⁶O(p, γ)¹⁷F calculated from these ¹⁷F → ¹⁶O+p asymptotic normalization coefficients are found to be in very good agreement with recent measurements. Following the same technique, the ¹⁰B(⁷Be, ⁸B)⁹Be and ¹⁴N(⁷Be, ⁸B)¹³C reactions have been used to measure the asymptotic normalization coefficient for ⁷Be(p, γ)⁸B. This result provides an indirect determination of S ₁₇(0).

Influence of steric and electronic properties of the defect site, lanthanide ionic radii, and solution conditions on the composition of lanthanide(III) alpha1-P2W17O6110- polyoxometalates

This study identifies the principles that govern the formation and stability of Ln complexes of the (alpha(1)-P(2)W(17)O(61))(10-) isomer. The conditional stability constants for the stepwise formation equilibria, K(1cond) and K(2cond), determined by (31)P NMR spectroscopy, show that the high log K(1cond)/log K(2cond) ratio predicts the stabilization of the 1:1 Ln/ (alpha(1)-P(2)W(17)O(61))(10-) species. The value of log K(1cond) increases as the Ln series is traversed, consistent with the high charge/size requirement of the basic alpha(1) defect site. The conditional stability constants, K(2), are very low and are highly dependent on the countercations in the buffer. The source of the instability is understood from the crystal structures of the early-mid lanthanide analogues, where the close contact of the (alpha(1)-P(2)W(17)O(61))(10-) units result in severe steric encumbrance. The electronic properties of the alpha(1) defect along with the lanthanide ionic radii and countercation composition are important parameters that need to be considered for a rational synthesis of lanthanide polyoxometalates.     

The crystal structure of dicyclopentadienylvanadium monochloride and its implications for the structures of other d2 dicyclopentadienyl compounds

The crystal structure of dicyclopentadienylvanadium(III) monochloride, (η⁵-C₅H₅)₂VCl, has been solved by the X-ray diffraction heavy atom method. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Ama2 with cell parameters a 9.134(8), b 13.522(10), and c 7.484(6) Å; ?_obs 1.55(1) g/cm³, ?_calc 1.56 g/cm³ for Z = 4. Full matrix least squares refinement based on 760 reflections lead to agreement factors of R = 0.054 and R_ω = 0.069. The structure confirms that (η⁵-C₅H₅)₂VCl is monomeric in contrast to [(η⁵-C₅H₅)₂ScCl]₂ and [η⁵-C₅H₅)₂TiCl]₂, which are dimeric. In the solid state the molecule possesses a crystallographic mirror plane of symmetry. The chlorine atom resides symmetrically in the open face of the (η⁵-C₅H₅)₂V⁺ group with a VCl bond distance of 2.390(4)Å. The average vanadium to carbon interatomic distance is 2.28(2) Å. The structure is discussed in terms of the electronic properties of d² compounds with structures (η⁵-C₅H₅)₂VX and [η⁵-C₅H₅)₂VY₂]⁺.
