Abstract
A multi-physics simulation tool is described which has the ability to simulate fluid flow, heat transfer including solidification, and stress evolution in a integrated manner. This modelling framework is used to predict the behavior of two solder materials -- the tin-lead eutectic (Sn63Pb37) and Sn95Pb5 -- during their solidification and cooling in a copper coated through hole. This integrated modelling approach to both solidification and stress is used to predict the transient nature in which the materials solidify and stress. Comparisons between both materials are given where the low lead content solder is seen to develop higher tensile stress near the solder/pad interface. This many contribute to a defect known as fillet lift.Citation
