  • Abstract
    Copper vias in circuit boards fail working due to cracks caused by fatigue under thermal loading. This irreversible behavior is based on dissipation of plastic energy in the system leading to a steady increase in damage. This energy can be computed by using the finite element method. For improving the lifetime we investigate the material properties of copper and analyze their impact on lifetime prediction.
