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...
In this work, the SAC solder joints with minor Mn or RE (rare earth) additions were bonded on the substrate of OSP Cu surface finishes for evaluating the influence of minor alloying on BIT (ball impact test) behavior. The Mn-doped samples had a better resistance to the degradation in BIT performance suffering long time aging at 150??C. The greater impact force and toughness compared to the other samples...
This paper deals with presentation of some new aspects of solder ternary alloy 96.5Sn3Ag0.5Cu (wt.%) - SAC305, in order to determine variations in mechanical properties and microstructure caused by treatment in vapour phase soldering (VPS) as well as by accelerated isothermal aging. These specimens have been melted and solidified on HASL (hot air solder levelling) and Ni/Au (ENIG) PCB (printed circuit...
The growth rate and kinetics of the intermetallic formation, intermetallic grain morphology, and micro-structural evolution for the solder with I-Ag, OSP and ENIG finish were investigated. Comparing the intermetallic thickness growth rate in Sn3.5Ag0.7Cu solder joint on PCB Cu metallizations with I-Ag, OSP and ENIG finish, the OSP had the highest intermetallic growth rate followed by I-Ag and ENIG...
Relative damage-index based on the leadfree interconnect transient strain history from digital image correlation, explicit finite-elements, cohesive-zone elements, and component's survivability envelope has been developed for life-prediction of two-leadfree electronic alloy systems. Life prediction of pristine and thermally-aged assemblies, have been investigated. Solder alloy system studied include...
Sn-Ag-Cu (SAC) solders are susceptible to appreciable microstructural coarsening during storage or service, resulting in evolution of joint properties, and hence reliability, over time. Although the problem of microstructural coarsening in joints has been studied extensively, the effect of joint scale on aging kinetics has never been investigated. Understanding the scale dependence of aging is particularly...
To meet the urgent demands of future electronic packages, the solder joints have to become increasingly miniaturized. Compared to the large solder joints, mechanics behavior for the samll solder joints is very different, resulting in a series of reliability issues. Therefore, it is very important to understand the mechanics behavior of the small solder joints. In this paper, the shear test of the...
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...
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...
