In this work, IMC (Inter metallic compound) of lead free (Sn-Ag-Cu (SAC)) and lead (62Sn-36Pb-2Ag (SP)) solder joint on the four kinds of surface finished of ball grid array (BGA) pad, such as Immersion Tin (ImSn), Organic solderability preservatives (OSPs), Ni-P/Pd/Au (ENEPIG), and Ni-P/Au (ENIG) were investigated by Focus Ion Beam microscope (FIB). Sample after failure ageing conditions (Baking...
The influence of the standoff height, pad size and isothermal aging on the microstructure and shear fracture behavior of Cu/Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu/Cu BGA structured interconnects were investigated using the lap-shear test. The experimental results show that the thickness of intermetallic compounds (IMC) layer at the solder/Cu interface increases with decreasing standoff height of the joints. The size of Kirkendall...
Sn-Ag-Cu (SAC) solders are susceptible to appreciable microstructural coarsening due to the combined effect of thermal and mechanical stimuli during service and storage. This results in evolution of joint properties over time, and thereby influences the long-term reliability of microelectronic packages. Accurate prediction of this aging behavior is therefore critical for joint reliability predictions...
Ball grid array (BGA) solder interconnecting is one of the key technologies in electronic packaging and assembly. Legislation of lead-free process has made the application of lead-free solder become wider in electronic products. Compared to the lead-tin solder, the relatively higher melting points of most lead-free solders call for a higher reflow temperature. Thus conventional integral-heating process...
The drawback of Sn/Ag/Cu solder alloy on selective Ni/Au plating (SMOBC) TBGA substrate is weakened solder joint, which promote the embrittlement and affects long-terms reliability. The ability of electronic packages and assemblies to resist ball drop failure is becoming a growing concern recently. In this paper, test vehicles of Sn-Ag-Cu (SAC) solder alloys with different Ni thickness of 3, 5, 8...
Reballing involves removing the original solder balls and attaching new solder balls on the pads of ball grid array components. In this study, 676 I/O BGAs with Sn3.0Ag0.5Cu (SAC305) balls were reballed with eutectic tin-lead solder. The original metallization of the pads on the BGAs was Cu/Ni with immersion Au. Two solder ball removal methods were applied: the low-temperature wave solder method and...
Sn-8Zn-3Bi solder balls with different weight percentages of Sn-Ag-Cu addition were bonded to Au/Ni metallized Cu pads, and the effect of multiple reflow and aging on impact reliability was investigated. In the Sn-Ag-Cu content Sn-Zn-Bi solder joints, the AgZn3 intermetallic compound layer was clearly observed at the interfaces and its thickness increased with an increase the number of reflow cycles...
This study utilized out high speed lap-shear tests at various strain rates (0.01 mm/s ~ 500 mm/s) for Sn-37Pb/Cu and Sn-37Pb/ENIG solder joints to evaluate the drop reliability. The samples aged for 120 h at different temperatures (150??C and 170??C) were also tested to examine the effects of aging on the drop reliability. We thoroughly analyzed the stress-strain curves obtained from the lap-shear...
IC performance and cost drive interconnect dimensions to shrink to ever-smaller sizes the RC delay becomes the dominant factor to impact IC performance. The RC delay is a function of the product of the total resistance and capacitance of the whole interconnects structure. To reduce RC delay, copper interconnects were introduced to replace aluminum. At the same time, the low K material has been widely...
