The current paper deals with firstly the optimized SMT to assemble various types of QFN (Quad Flat Nonleaded) packages. The important SMT factors such as solder pad and stencil designs will be discussed. Secondly and more importantly, this paper will detail the comprehensive experiment and simulation work done for QFN solder joint reliability modeling. A curve fitted fatigue correlation model together with the use of Schubert's hyperbolic sine lead-free solder constitutive model will be proposed for accurate QFN solder joint reliability prediction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
