Which consequence results when repeated thermal cycling weakens solder bonds in integrated circuits?

💡 Explanation

Increased junction temperatures develop because thermo-mechanical fatigue causes crack propagation within the solder. The increasing thermal resistance from the reduced contact area exacerbates heat dissipation; therefore a positive feedback loop results rather than inhibited heat transfer.
