Summary
This paper presents a numerical investigation of the probabilistic approach in
estimating the reliability of wire bonding for microelectronic device structures. The
finite element simulation model is used to analyze the sequence of the failure events
in power microelectronic devices. This numerical model is used to estimate the
probability of failure of power module regarding the wire bonding connection.
However, as a result of the time-consuming methods of the multiphysics finite
element simulation, a kriging metamodel is used as a surrogate for the response
output of the limit state, in this way the reliability analysis is performed directly to
the kriging approximation by using the FORM/SORM methods. This study
demonstrates the appropriateness of using the reliability approach to predict the
effects of the wire bonding failure of power modules.
