Abstract

The experimental mechanics of microelectronics components requires high spatial resolution measurements that are best obtained by using the scanning microscope because of the high spacial resolution and depth of field obtained using this instrument. This paper describes how measurements made from photographs taken in the scanning electron microscope have been used successfully to determine the strains which develop due to differences in coefficient of thermal between various parts of microelectronic components. Results are presented for thermal strains in the solder joints of a surface mounted component and in a printed circuit board plated through hole.
