Solder joints on the Printed-Circuit board (PCB) serve as mechanical and electrical connections. Their function maybe simple, but the reliability of the solder joints may affect the entire device or system. They are usually the weak links when the electronic products are exposed to a variety of load conditions from their operation and storage, such as temperature cycling, vibration, shock and humidity. One of the most important parameters of solder joints is electrical stability. The resistance or impedance will rise as the fracture spreads through the solder joints. The reliability of solder joints is often determined through continuous DC resistance measurement, but it not very sensitive. In recent years, Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) technique has been found to be a better alternative that are required for monitoring the degradation of interconnects. At high frequencies, signal propagation is concentrated at the surface of interconnects, a phenomenon known as the skin effect. Degradation of interconnects, such as cracking of solder joints due to fatigue or shock loading, also usually initiates at the surface and propagates inward. Therefore, even a small crack at the surface of a solder joint may change RF impedance. A physical crack initiated at the surface of the solder joints results in the increase of RF impedance. Thus, the crack length should be correlative with RF impedance or Reflection Coefficient, and the failure time of the solder joint could be estimated in view of electronic theory and the theory of fracture. A mathematic model was proposed to predict the relationship between the time domain reflection coefficient of solder joint and the crack length in it.

Along with more and more use of high density plastic ball grid array (PBGA) in portable electronic products and military electronic equipments, the vibration fatigue reliability of solder joints for PBGA becomes a critical concern. In this paper, a quarter 3D symmetric model was developed by ANSYS software, then modal analysis of PCBA assembly and random vibration response analysis of mixed solder joints were implemented. The effect of fixation points on mode shape and the size parameters for solder joints on von mises stress were discussed. Finally, the influence of every step mode on the PCB bending deflection was analyzed. The results showed that the first bend mode was the main factor which influences the bend deformation of the PCB. Adopting more fixations can reduce the influence of the first mode. Solder joint with maximum von mises stress (critical solder joint) was occurred on the outmost corner of PBGA which is mounted at the position of PCB largest deformation, and the accurate critical interface was located at the soldering interface between PCB and solder ball. More deflection of PCB causes larger stress of solder joint. The further research found that the first four step natural frequencies are less than 2000Hz, and they are within the vibration frequency range of 5Hz to 2000Hz caused by the transport and application. So it is necessary to optimize the fixation design of PCB assembly. Moreover, within a certain range, the thicker of PCB vehicle can get smaller stress, while the greater height of solder ball would cause greater stress.
According to collection and analysis of plastic encapsulated MMIC failure cases these years, the main failure mechanisms proportion was calculated statistically. And corresponding preventive measures against failure w...

A virtual channel (VC) calculation algorithm for wormhole-switched on-chip networks is proposed. Traditionally, the virtual channels were allocated uniformly, which results in a waste of area and power. To remedy this situation, based on the queuing theory, we propose a router analytical model. Using this model, the proposed algorithm calculates the bandwidth usage at each router in the network according to the traffic characteristics of the target application, and adds VC only to the channels with the highest bandwidth usage. The simulation results show that the VC allocation result is more reasonable and higher total transmission rate can be achieved compared to the uniform VC allocation. For hotspot traffic, about 33.3% savings in buffering resources can be achieved using our algorithm, in the case of achieving similar performance levels.
