Package design and material impact on board level reliability of fine pitch packages

Summary form only given: The reliability of an electronic package is ultimately determined by the environment and application in which it is used. Due to the proliferation of electronic devices across market segments ranging from automotive to small, hand-held devices, electronic packages experience different loading conditions and thus need to pass varying reliability requirements. The gradual migration to Pb free, RoHS, and green packaging in various sectors of the industry is further challenging the manufacturers of electronic packages to provide reliable solutions with diverse material sets.
