Failure Analysis and Characterization of Epoxy Underfill with Designed Experiments

D. Sanchez, S. King, L. Halbleib, M. Walsh, Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, NM

Hysol is an underfill encapsulant used in the manufacturing of weapon components. In July 2003, components began to display incompletely cured encapsulant regions. A team was formed to investigate the problem using statistical experimental design techniques, such as Design of Experiments (DOE). This paper describes the success of experimental design in a manufacturing environment.
