Abstract: Gray cast iron shows large asymmetrical features by the graphite flake when tensile and
compressive stresses are applied. The plastic strain rage which is used in low-cycle fatigue life
prediction by many researchers is hardly defined and gives very different values by the Standards in
this case. From the results of this study, it is not reliable to use the plastic strain range as a low-cycle
fatigue damage parameter. Therefore, the plastic strain energy density which is uniquely defined was
suggested as a damage parameter and it showed good correlation in low-cycle fatigue in gray cast
iron.

Abstract: Among many factors that influence the reliability of a flip-chip assembly using NCF
interconnections, the most effective parameters are often the coefficient of thermal expansion
(CTE), the modulus (E), and the glass transition temperatures (Tg). Of these factors, the effect of Tg
on thermal deformation and device reliability is significant; however, it has not been shown clearly
what effect Tg has on the reliability of NCF. The Tg of a conventional NCF material is
approximately 110°C. In this study, a new high Tg NCF material that has a 140oC Tg is proposed.
The thermal behaviors of the conventional and new NCFs between -40oC to 150oC are observed
using an optical method. Twyman-Green interferometry and the moiré interferometry method are
used to measure the thermal micro-deformations. The Twyman-Green interferometry measurement
technique is applied to verify the stress-free state. The stress-free temperatures of the conventional
and new Tg NCF materials are approximately 100oC and 120oC respectively. A shear strain at a part
of the NCF chip edge is measured by moiré interferometry. Additionally, a method to accurately
measure the residual warpage and shear strain at room temperature is proposed. Through the
analysis of the relationship between the warpage and the shear strain, the effect of the high-Tg NCF
material on the reliability is studied.

Abstract: For measuring deformation of electronic packages, various techniques have been used.
Each technique has some merits and demerits. Some techniques have very high resolution but small
measuring area. On the contrary, other techniques have large measuring area and low resolution. So
the judicious selection of techniques with a trade-off between the resolution and available
measuring area is important. In this research, a new laser profiler was developed by integrating high
resolution laser displacement sensor into the x-y scanner. This system has 10nm vertical resolution
and 100nm horizontal resolution with a measurement area up to 25mm by 25mm. The residual
deformation of a lead-contained and lead-free PBGA package after reflow process was measured by
the newly developed system. And the effect of aging was evaluated.

Abstract: As a reliable tool to measure the Young’s modulus, nanoindention technique has been
used widely recently. In this paper, nanoindetation technique was overviewed with its advantage
and limitation and a new method was proposed to determine material properties of film, i.e. both
Young’s modulus E and Poisson’s ratio ν from load-displacement curve of shallow-depth
indentation using ‘inverse method’.

Abstract: Isothermal cyclic stress-strain deformation and thermomechanical deformation (TMD) of 429EM stainless steel were analyzed using a rheological model employing a bi-linear model. The proposed model was composed of three parameters: elastic modulus, yield stress and flow stress. Monotonic stress-strain curves at various temperatures were used to construct the model. The yield stress in the model was nearly same as 0.2% offset yield stress. Hardening relation factor, m, was proposed to relate cyclic hardening to kinematic hardening. Isothermal cyclic stress-strain deformation could be described well by the proposed model. The model was extended to describe TMD. The results revealed that the bi-linear thermomechanical model overestimates the experimental data under both in-phase and out-of-phase conditions in the temperature range of 350-500oC and it was due to the enhanced dynamic recovery effect.

Abstract: Until now, surface defects of continuous casting slab have been removed by the enforced surface scarfing to produce high quality steel materials. An evaluation technique for surface and internal defects of slab is required to enhance the production of medium carbon steels and acquire defect-map. Accordingly as a preliminary step, longitudinal wave testing and Rayleigh wave testing were carried out on slab specimens of medium carbon steel to get basic transmission characteristics of ultrasonic waves. This research provides as basic data for on-line defect estimation using a laser ultrasonic or EMAT in non-contact ultrasonic detecting techniques in future.

Abstract: Low-cycle fatigue tests were carried out in air in a wide temperature range from room
temperature to 650oC to investigate the role of temperature on the low-cycle fatigue behavior of two types of stainless steels, cold-worked (CW) 316L austenitic stainless steel and 429 EM ferritic stainless steel. CW 316L stainless steel underwent additional hardening at room temperature and in 250-600oC: plasticity-induced martensite transformation at room temperature and dynamic strain aging in 250-600oC. As for 429 EM stainless steel, it underwent remarkable hardening in 200-400oC due to dynamic strain aging, resulting in a continuous increase in cyclic peak stress until failure. Three fatigue parameters, such as stress amplitude, plastic strain amplitude and plastic strain energy density, were evaluated. The results revealed that plastic strain energy density is nearly invariant through a whole life and, thus, recommended as a proper fatigue parameter for cyclically non-stabilized
materials.

Abstract: A thermomechanical fatigue (TMF) life prediction model for ferritic stainless steel, used in exhaust manifold of automobile, was developed based on Tomkins’ two-dimensional crack propagation model. Low-cycle fatigue (LCF) and TMF tests were carried out in a wide temperature range from 200 to 650°C. New concept of plastic strain range on TMF was proposed. Effective stress concept was introduced to get a reasonable stress range in TMF hysteresis loop. The proposed model predicted TMF life within 2X scatter band. The experimental results reveal that TMF life is about 10% of isothermal fatigue life.

Abstract: The use of anisotropically conductive adhesives (ACA) for the direct interconnection of flipped silicon chips to printed circuits (flip chip packaging), offers numerous advantages such as reduced thickness, improved environmental compatibility, lowered assembly process temperature, increased metallization options, cut downed cost, and decreased equipment needs. Despite numerous benefits, ACA film type packages bare several reliability problems. The most critical issue among them is their electrical performance deterioration upon consecutive thermal cycles attributed to gradual delamination growth through chip and adhesive film interface induced by CTE mismatch driven shear and peel stresses. In this study, warpage of the chip is monitored by real time moiré interferometer during –50oC to +125oC temperature range. Moreover, reduction in chip warpage due
to increase in delamination length is obtained as in function of thermal fatigue cycles. Finally, a new model to predict damage level of ACA package and remained life is proposed and developed.

Abstract: Fatigue behaviors of 63Sn37Pb and two types of lead-free solder joints were compared using pseudo-power cycling testing method, which provides more realistic load cycling to solder joints than chamber cycling method does. Pseudo-power cycling test was performed in various temperature ranges to evaluate the shear strain effect. A nonlinear finite element model was used to simulate the thermally induced visco-plastic deformation of solder joint in BGA packages. The results revealed that lead free solder joints have a good fatigue property in the low temperature condition, where a small strain was induced. In the high temperature condition where a large strain was induced, however, lead contained solder joints have a longer fatigue life.
