100 MPa peak von Mises stress quantified in a solder microbump under -55 → 125 °C cycling
40+ IEEE Xplore and Google Scholar papers synthesized in the InFO packaging review

Built a static-structural FEA of a solder microbump under -55 → 125 °C thermal cycling in ANSYS, quantifying peak stress and per-cycle plastic-strain accumulation, with a 5 → 1 µm mesh study confirming the stress concentration was physical. Authored a physics-based technical review of Integrated Fan-Out (InFO) advanced packaging applying θja and CTE-mismatch strain models. Extracted interconnect R/L/C, simulated transmission-line crosstalk and eye diagrams in ANSYS Electronics, and analyzed chip-level cooling across thermal-interface contact resistance, two-phase immersion boiling, and heat-pipe sizing.
