Abstract
This work concentrates on the verification of the parametric finite element method for determining the shapes of sessile and pendant solder droplets formed on circular pads. The scope of this research is given below: 1. Compare the profiles of sessile and pendant droplets predicted by the parametric finite element method with those published in the literature. 2. Form experimental sessile droplets on circular pads and measure the resulting geometry by using the Laser Triangulation equipment provided by the Allen Bradley Company. 3. Compare the experimental results with those predicted by the parametric finite element method. 4. Employ the parametric finite element method to perform sensitivity studies on the effects of various process parameters (bond number, volume number etc.) on sessile and pendant droplets formed on circular pads.
