dc.description.abstractWith the continued proliferation of low cost, portable consumer electronic products with greater functionality, there is increasing demand for electronic packaging that is smaller, lighter and less expensive. Flip chip is an essential enabling technology for these products. The electrical connection between the chip I/O and substrate is achieved using conductive materials, such as solder, conductive epoxy, metallurgy bump (e.g., gold) and anisotropic conductive adhesives. The interconnect regions of flip-chip packages consists of highly dissimilar materials to meet their functional requirements. The mismatches in properties, contact morphology and crystal orientation at those material interfaces make them vulnerable to failure through delamination and crack growth under various loading patterns. This study encompasses contact between deformable bodies, bonding at the asperities and fracture properties at interfaces formed by the interconnects of flip-chip packages. This is achieved through experimentation and modeling at different length scales, to be able to capture the detailed microstructural features and contact mechanics at interfaces typically found in electronic systems.en_US
