It is of importance for the reliability of lead-free and lead-bearing solder joints to have better understanding and control of the solder/metallization interactions during soldering. In the reactions between solders and Cu substrate, the formation of micro voids within the Cu3Sn layer had been report by many research groups. Because the Cu3Sn growth had been linked to the formation of micro voids,...
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 present study investigates the effect of 1~5 wt.% Indium additions on microstructure, properties and interfacial IMC's formation of Sn-3Ag-2Sb(SAS) lead-free solder alloys. Experimental results show that addition of indium results in formation of intermetallic compounds of Ag-Sn-In phase and InSb phase. Sn atoms in Ag3Sn compound formed originally in Sn-Ag solder system are replaced by In atoms...
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...
In this study, Sn3.0Ag0.5Cu solder bump was jointed on Ni(V)/Cu UBM and then aged at 125 degC for 500-2000 h. The heat treatment samples were employed to investigate the interfacial reaction and the mechanical properties between solder and UBM. (Cu,Ni)6Sn5 IMC formed at the interface between solder and Ni(V) layer after assembly. The thickness of (Cu,Ni)6Sn5 gradually increased to 4 mum during aging...
The microstructures of SnBi/Cu interconnect after reflow and its evolution during solid-state aging at 393 K were investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was found that after reflow there were two kinds of intermetallic compounds (IMCs) - Cu6Sn5 and Cu3Sn in solder joint. Above these IMC layers there was a Bi-rich layer which consisted of discontinuous Bi particles. During solid...
We recently developed Cu-Zn alloy wetting layer for the SAC solder balls to improve the reliability. In this paper, IMC formation and solder joint reliability have been investigated in the solder joint between SAC solder balls and Cu-Zn alloy pads, and Cu pads were also used as a reference. Sn-4.0Ag-0.5 Cu solder balls were used and the substrates were Cu and 80 wt% Cu-20 wt% Zn pads which were defined...
