3 How to Avoide Conductive Anodic Filaments (CAF) Ling Zou & Chris Hunt 22 January 20 Three main drive for CAF concern in past ten years CAF failure mechanism was first reported in the ;s by Bell laboratory. Three main drives: The drive to increase circuit density with smaller printed wiring board geometries. The rapid increase of the use of electronics in harsh environments and for high reliability and safety critical application. Leadfree soldering process affect laminate stability and increase CAF material choices. 3
4 Conductive Anode Filament (CAF) CAF formation inside the PCB is an important failure mode for electronic circuit. It is a electrochemical process, and initially caused by anodic Cu corrosion. CAF is Cu corrosion products grow along the glass/resin interface from anode to cathode R Mechanisms Ionic species Moisture Bias Low ph Anode corrosion Electrochemical cell Mobile corrosion products Migration down pathway Susceptibility reflow pathway CAF ph increase Deposition of salt 4

Acid contaminations from glass fibre surface, fluxes from assembly process or/and acid residues from plating process Pathway is needed for Ions to move Delamination between glass fibre and resin due to reflow Bias acts as driving force for ion transport Circuits need to be powered up in service

NPL has developed a sample structure where glass fibres are introduced, encapsulated, and then provide the correct electrochemical conditions to grow the CAF in relatively shot time. 20
11 Simulated Test Vehicle (STV) Simulated Test Vehicle (STV) was developed, which provides a controlled way to grow CAF. This enables us to investigate different variables separately. CAF formation: Different resin systems and glass fibres: STV & STV with drilled hole Reflow process: STV Desmear process: STV with drilling hole Glass bundle size: STV CAF can be easily seen using microscope with backlight 21 STV1 sample Polyimide substrate with 2 oz Cu Resin powder dissolved in acetone Resin cured at C for 0 minute 22

15 Different resins and glass fibres With anode contamination only: There is CAF formation for heat cleaned and loom state fibres with both resins (DICY cured and phenolic cured). There is no CAF formation for all finished fibres with both resins.

21 STV1 and STV1 with drilled hole A STV has been successfully used to evaluate the effect of different resin systems, different glass fibres, desmear process, reflow process and glass fibre bundle size on CAF failure. Heat cleaned and loom state fibres form CAF more easily than finished fibres. Loom state fibre has the highest propensity to form CAF compared with others. Phenolic cured resin promote more CAF than DICY cured resin, this is probably because the DICY was removed when the resin was dissolved in acetone in our sample preparation. Desmear process can increase CAF formation, but not significant. Reflow process increase CAF formation significantly. Large bundle size increase CAF formation, but not significant. Further developments of a STV are underway 41 How to Avoide Conductive Anodic Filaments (CAF) Ling Zou & Chris Hunt 22 January
