Abstract
Solder ball failure can be caused by a number of technicalities. The three common root causes that lead to package failure are inadequate qualification, mechanical issues (typically due to IMC formation) and solder voiding (due to poor processes). To deliver acceptable customer performance, the process designer needs to understand the interactions of variables that can result in time zero as well as latent failure.
