Abstract

Electromigration characteristics of $SnAg_3Cu_{0.7}$ and eutectic SnPb solder were studied using thin stripe-type test structures. Significant changes in the microstructure of two solders were observed after electromigration test, in which the temperature and the current density were varied from 90 to $110^{\circ}C$ and from $4.0\times10^4\;A/cm^2\;to\;9.2\times10^4\;A/cm^2$. In SnAgCu solders, hillocks were main]y observed near the anode end. From resistance measurements, it was calculated that the activation energy of the SnAgCu solder for electromigration was 1.04 eV And in eutectic SnPb without the effect of pads, while depleted region was found near cathode end, Sn-rich hillocks were observed near the anode end. During eutectic SnPb electromigration, it were observed that electromigration behavior had two migration modes.
