Abstract
The popcorning effect of plastic ball grid array (PBGA) packages is analyze d using the method of fracture mechanics. The following three specific prob lems are studied: (1) crack initiation in the die attach of the package, (2 ) crack growth in the die attach, and (3) crack growth at the interface bet ween the solder mask and copper. Two different methods (crack tip opening d isplacement and virtual crack closure technique) are used to determine the crack-tip parameters such as the strain energy release rate, stress intensi ty factors, and phase angle for different crack lengths and temperatures.
