The experimental samples mainly are the assembled OSP PCB with the Plated-Through-Hole (PTH) components which leads are manufactured with Sn/Ni/Cu substrates and the soldering process is Wave-Soldering (W/S) with two kinds of lead-free SAC solder bars categorized as Sn-3.0wt%Ag-0.5wt%Cu (SAC305) and Sn-0.3wt%Ag-0.7wt%Cu (SC0307). In addition, the test conditions are defined that the experimental temperatures...
The Ni/95Pb5Sn/Cu ternary diffusion couples were used to investigate the cross-interaction between Ni and Cu across a layer of 95Pb5Sn solder. High-lead solder layers with thickness of 100 or 400 μm was electroplated over Cu foils. A pure Ni layer (20 μm) was then deposited over the as-deposited high-lead solder surface. The diffusion couples were then aged at 150 to 250°C for different periods of...
Despite the fact that epoxy has continuously used as encapsulant in electronic packaging, its joint with copper-based substrate is prone to delaminate during reliability test. A prime reason is the lack of adhesion between Cu and epoxy compound. To solve the problem, self-assembly molecular structure (SAM) is adopted to improve adhesion of epoxy-copper system. In seeing that hydrophobic behaviour...
The atom diffusion and growth behavior of intermetallic compound (IMC) at Sn3.5Ag0.5Cu/Cu interfaces under isothermal aging and thermal-shearing cycling conditions were investigated. The results show that the morphology of Cu6Sn5 IMCs formed at Sn3.5Ag0.5Cu/Cu interface changed gradually from scallop-like to chunk-like, and IMCs thickness developed with the isothermal aging and thermal-shearing cycling...
The growth behaviors of interfacial intermetallic compound for the solder joints of Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu/Cu substrate and Sn-3.0Ag-0.3Cu-0.05Cr/Cu substrate during isothermal aging at 150deg for 0, 24, 168, 500 and 1000 h respectively have been investigated. The results showed that the intermetallic compound layer at the Sn-3.0Ag-0.3Cu-0.05Cr/Cu joint is much thinner than that at the Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu/Cu joint...
SiC power devices were die bonded to a AlN/Cu/Ni(Au) direct bonded copper (DBC) substrate with a Au-Ge eutectic solder in a vacuum reflow system. The long term joint reliability of the bonded chips was evaluated at 330degC in air for up to 1600 hours. The bonded samples were inspected with a micro focus X-ray TV system. The microstructure of the samples was observed and analyzed by the scanning electron...
Much literature has been written and debated on the effects of reflow profiles on IMC {Inter-metallic compound) formation for solder alloys and the diffusion of elements during this process. This data has been concerning primarily assembly operations. However, not much data has been acquired on the effects of thermal aging on solders at back end pre-pack operations. The thermal aging conducted at...
The effects of added Cu into Sn-9Zn solder reacting with an Au substrate at 160degC for 24 hours were investigated in this study. The intermetallic compound (IMC) evolution sequences at the (Sn-9Zn)+xCu/Au interface and solders were : (i) (Au3 Zn7 + AuZn2 + AuZn) and Au3 Zn7 phases at the Sn-Zn/Au couples; (ii) (Au3 Zn7 + AuZn), (Au,Cu)3Zn7 phases, as x (the Cu content) was 1 wt%; (iii) AuSn and Cu...
The solders used for this study are Sn2.5Ag0.8Cu doped with 0.03 wt.% Fe, Co, or Ni and 0, 0.005, 0.01, 0.06, or 0.1 wt.% Ni. Reaction conditions included multiple reflows for up to 10 times and solid-state aging at 160degC for up to 2000 hrs. In multiple reflow study, Cu6Sn5 was the only reaction product observed for all the different solders used. Reflows using the solder without doping produced...
The reliability of lead free electronic devices depends strongly on the reliability of the soldered joints while the later one was controlled, mainly, by the formation and growth of the interfacial intermetallic compounds (IMCs) between the solder matrix and the substrates. The morphological features, microstructural evolutions and growth kinetics of the IMCs on the interfacial of SnAgCu/Cu soldered...
