Static Compressive Load Specification

  • Considerations should be made to ensure steady state static loading on the packages that does not exceed the limits recommended. Excessive steady state static loading can induce solder ball cracks, especially over a period of time resulting in higher failure rate.
  • This static compressive load is not to be exceeded; therefore the tolerance of the package and the tolerances of the thermal solution (including attach mechanism) should be taken into account when calculating or measuring static load on the package.
  • An ideal thermal solution design would apply a load as uniform as possible on all dies in order to optimize thermal performance and minimize mechanical risk

Notes:
  1. If using backplate, recommended maximum back plate thickness is 0.5mm.
  2. This specification is based on limited testing for design characterization.
  3. All values are pre-silicon values and are subject to be changed.
