DESCRIPTION:The following three practically important questions associated 
 with predicting and improving the reliability of solder joint interconnect
 ions (SJI) of IC packages are addressed in this seminar:\n\nI. Could inela
 stic strains in the solder material be avoided by a rational design\, and 
 if not\, could the sizes of the inelastic strain areas be predicted and \,
  if possible\, minimized?\n\nII. Considering that the difference between a
 n highly reliable and an insufficiently reliable product is “merely” i
 n the level of its never-zero probability of failure\, and that SJIs are u
 sually the most vulnerable structural elements in an IC package design\, c
 ould this probability be assessed at the design stage and\, if possible\, 
 made adequate for the given application?\n\nIII. Should temperature cyclin
 g accelerated testing for SJIs be replaced with a more physically meaningf
 ul\, less costly\, less time- and labor- consuming and\, most importantly\
 , less misleading accelerated test vehicle?\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Ephraim Suh
