AbstractThe finite element analysis (PEA) can help to identify electronic package design issues early in the design process and minimize the number of prototypes needed for testing. In this thesis, the finite element modeling of different constituent elements in a Fine-pitch Ball Grid Array (FBGA) package is performed with their material properties. The strnctures of electronic package are modeled with different conditions to verify mechanical and thermal failures. The mechanical failure will be based on three-point bending test. Then, the strength of the FBGA package will be optimized due to thickness minimization. Therefore, Design of Experiment (DOE) will be applied for this design optimization. For thermal failure, solder joint reliability will be an interest. The characteristic life of solder joint will be predicted by way of Robert Darveaux's theory under temperature cycling condition. The results from PEA solution will be compared with the experimental analysis solution at the same conditions.
