Buehler Education Schedule CALCE (Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering - University of Maryland) / Buehler Failure Analysis of Electronic Components CALCE / BUEHLER FAILURE ANALYSIS OF ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS Failure analysis is an important tool in the effort to ensure reliability of electronic products and systems throughout their product lifecycle. Significant improvements in the reliability of electronics can be achieved by retrieving products and examining them to determine the root cause of any failures and the extent of degradation which has occurred over time. Root cause failure analysis employs a sequence of non-destructive and destructive analytical techniques to characterize the modes by which failure is manifested, the sites where failure is localized, the fundamental mechanical, electrical, chemical and electrochemical mechanisms by which failure has occurred, and the factors which precipitated the activation of those mechanisms. Unfortunately, failure analysis is often performed incorrectly or incompletely, leading to a poor understanding of failure mechanisms and causes, and loss of money, customers, and possibly lives due to recurrence of failures. The first half of the short course will present a methodology for identifying potential failure mechanisms in electronic components based on the failure history. Systematic approaches to root cause analysis will be provided. Failure analysis techniques geared towards various failure mechanisms will be discussed, with an emphasis on cross-sectioning techniques and analysis. Cross-sectional analysis is a valuable tool for failure analysis of electronic devices along with quality evaluation, research and process monitoring. Successful use of this technique is often complicated by the highly dissimilar properties of the component materials under investigation and their susceptibility to damage. Emphasis will be placed on how to deal with these differences through an understanding of the component materials to be prepared and the basic principles of abrasive grinding and polishing. Techniques for low-damage sectioning and the procedures required to prevent preparation induced damage are discussed. The second half of this short course provides guidance on how to choose preparation sequences depending on the materials, the configuration of the specimens and the ultimate purpose of the investigation. The short course stresses the need to understand the basic principles rather than simply following '“recipes". The goal of specimen preparation is to produce a damage-free surface that can be imaged and analyzed through the use of microscopy. Methods for capturing images and quantifying features through the use of image analysis will be discussed and demonstrated. This course is recommended for persons who wish to conduct failure analysis on electronic products such as PWBs, wafers, solid state devices and components. This course will be taught jointly by Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering (CALCE) and Buehler. April 26-29, 2011 (CALCE - University of Maryland) September 13-16, 2011 (CALCE - University of Maryland) COST: 4-day course: $2500 Consortium Members & Government Institutions: $2000 Each attendee is invited to submit one sample to CALCE at least three weeks before the start date. Several of the submitted samples will be prepared and analyzed in advance, for use during the demonstrations. Other samples will be used for hands-on training to illustrate specimen preparation procedures and analysis techniques. However, no guarantee can be offered that any specific sample will be used. All unused samples will be returned. For course registration information please contact Bhanu Sood by phone at 301-405-3498 or by email at bpsood@calce.umd.edu. 52 Effective 2011
