Sn-Ag계 합금은 대표적인 무연 솔더 조성으로 전자제품의 실장 및 접합에 적용되어 왔으며, 태양전지 분야에서도 모듈의 전극과 bus바로 사용되는 등 다양한 분야에서 사용되고 있다. 그러나 최근 Ag 가격의 급격한 상승과 솔더 접합부의 신뢰성을 보다 향상시키고자 Ag의 함량을 줄이고 다원계 합금 조성의 무연 솔더 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 실험에서는 기존의 연구 결과를 바탕으로 Sn-1.0Ag-0.5Cu-0.4In 4원계 무연솔더 조성에 Bi를 첨가하여 최적의 융점과 용융구간을 가지는 5원계 Sn-Ag-Cu-In-Bi 계 솔더 합금을 설계하였다. 이 설계된 합금은 기존의 유연 솔더인 Sn-Pb와 대표적인 무연 솔더인 Sn-3.5Ag와 각각의 특성을 비교 분석하였다. 젖음성을 평가하기 위하여 wetting balance tester를 이용하여 실험을 행하였고 Differential Scanning Calorimetry(DSC)를 분석하여 젖음 정도와 조성 분석 및 고상점과 액상점 등의 녹음 거동을 확인하였다. 또한 각각의 조성별 전단응력에 따른 파괴 거동을 분석하였다.

눈부신 전자산업의 발달로 대부분의 전자제품이 다기능/경박단소화 되고 있어, 고밀도 실장 기술인 양면 표면실장과 고집적 패키징 기술인 패키지 적층 공정의 적용이 점차 확대되고 있다. 따라서 양면 표면실장 및 패키지 적층 공정에 사용되는 저온 접합용 무연 솔더 즉, $183^{\circ}C$(Sn-37Pb 공정 솔더 융점) 이하의 융점을 가지는 저온 무연 솔더에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 한편, 미세피치 적용 분야에 있어 ACF/P를 이용한 COG 접속 분야 외에도 최근 저온 접합용 무연 솔더를 이용한 접속 분야가 각광을 받고 있다. 따라서, 접속피치 미세화에 대응하기 위해 스크린 인쇄성을 향상시킬 수 있는 저온 무연 솔더 paste 제조 및 공정 기술의 개발이 필요한 실정이다. 현재 대표적인 저온 무연 솔더 조성은 Sn-Bi계($138^{\circ}C$ 융점)와 Sn-In계($120^{\circ}C$ 융점)이다. 하지만, 이들 조성의 신뢰성 등에 있어 개선의 여지가 있으므로 이를 해결하기 위한 무연솔더 조성의 개발이 필요하다. 이와 같은 관점에서, 본 연구는 $137^{\circ}C$의 융점을 갖는 Sn-57.6Ag-0.4Ag 저온 무연 솔더 paste를 $217^{\circ}C$의 융점을 갖는 Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu 솔더 paste와 비교하여 인쇄성, reflow 특성, void inspection, 미세조직 관찰 및 underfill 적용 등의 실험을 실시하였다.

Recently, life prediction models for Pb-based and Pb-free solders used in chip resistor assemblies under thermal cycling have been introduced. The models suggest that the field lifetimes of Pb-free solders would be better than those of Pb-based solders when used for chip resistors under thermal cycling conditions, while the lifetime of the chip assemblies under accelerated test conditions show a reverse relationship. In this study, the prediction models were verified by applying the model to another research case. Finite element models were built, thermal cycling conditions were applied, and the energy densities were calculated. Finally, life prediction analysis was conducted for the cases where Pb-based and Pb-free solders were used. The prediction results were then compared with the test data of the case. It was verified that the predictions of the developed life cycle models are on the practical scale.

Pb-Sn solder is rapidly being replaced by lead-free solder for board-level interconnection in microelectronic package assemblies due to the environmental protection requirement. There is a general lack of mechanical reliability information available on the lead-free solder. In this study, thermo-mechanical behaviors of wire-bond plastic ball grid array (WB-PBGA) package assemblies are characterized by high-sensitivity moire interferometry. Experiments are conducted for two types of WB-PBGA packages that have Pb-Sn solder and lead-free solder as joint interconnections. Using real-time moire setup, fringe patterns are recorded and analyzed for several temperatures. Bending deformations of the assemblies and average strains of the solder balls are investigated and compared for the two type of WB-PBGA package assemblies. Results show that shear strain in #3 solder ball located near the chip shadow boundary is dominant for the failure of the package with Pb-Sn solder, while normal strain in #7 most outer solder ball is dominant for that with lead-free solder. It is also shown that the package with lead-free solder has much larger bending deformation and 10% larger maximum effective strain than the package with Pb-Sn solder at same temperature level.

무전해 Ni-P UBM과 3가지 경우의 무연 솔더간의 계면연구를 통해 Bi가 솔더의 합금원소로 들어감에 따라 계면반응에 어떠한 영향을 줄 수 있는 가를 연구했다. 3가지 다른 무연 솔더는 Bi가 각각 $0wt\%,\;4.8wt\%,\;58wt\%$들어간 Sn3.5Ag, Sn3.5Ag4.8Bi, Sn58Bi 이다. reflow를 수행한 후에 세 가지 솔더에서 나타나는 계면에서의 IMC는 $Ni_3Sn_4$로서 어떤 다른 솔더도 Bi를 함유한 IMC가 계면에선 관찰되지 않았다. 다만 SnAgBi 솔더의 경우 특이하게 솔더내에서 침상의 $Ni_3Sn_4$가 reflow후에 관찰되었다. 또한 반응속도의 척도가 되는 Ni-P UBM소모속도를 비교해 보면 reflow후의 SnAg와 SnAgBi의 경우에는 비슷하나 SnBi의 경우에는 알서 두 솔더에 비해 눈에 띠게 느림을 관찰하였다. 이러한 Ni-P UBM의 소모경향을 Bi의 함량, 그에 따른 Sn의 상대적인 함량의 관점에서 고찰하고자 한다.

In this study, properties of Pb-free solder joints which were combined using Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu (SAC305) Pb-free solder with a mid-temperature type of melting temperature and Sn-57Bi-1Ag Pb-free solder with a low-temperature type of melting temperature were reported. Combined Pb-free solder joints were formed by reflow soldering processes with ball grid array (BGA) packages which have SAC305 solder balls and flame retardant-4 (FR-4) printed circuit boards (PCBs) which printed Sn-57Bi-1Ag solder paste. The reflow soldering processes were performed with two types of temperature profiles and interfacial properties of combined Pb-free solder joints such as interfacial reactions, formations of intermetallic compounds (IMCs), diffusion mechanisms of Bi, and so on were analyzed with the reflow process conditions. In order to compare reliability characteristics of combined Pb-free solder joints, we also conducted thermal shock test and analyzed changes of mechanical properties for joints from a shear test during the thermal shock test.

The growing environmental regulation governs the use of lead by RoHS, WEEE, and then. The electronic industry is moving to replace Pb-bearing solder with Pb-free solder. To use the Pb-free solder, microelectronic industry needs consequently the new reliability appraisal such as the packaging for high temperature process, various mechanical change caused by new solder, and the development of Pb-free sloder for long life of product. The evaluation of solder bar and mechanical properties of joint were performed compared with international standard, and new appraisal standard was established. The solderability and spread ability of Sn-0.7Cu solder material showed up to the standard. Shear test of solder joint using by the solder resulted that the shear strengths after thermal shock or after aging were not much lower than the shear strength of as-soldered and that they were also up to the standard.

Sn-3Ag-8Bi-5In was developed for the intermediate melting point solder. Although In-contained solder is expensive, its melting point is lower than these of Sn-Ag-Cu alloys. Sn-3Ag-8Bi-5In solder used for this research has a melting range of 188~$204^{\circ}C$. On this study wetting characteristics of Sn-3Ag-8Bi-5In were evaluated in order to investigate its availability as a Pb-free solder. Wettabilities of Sn-37Pb and Sn-3.5Ag solders were also studied to compare these of the Sn-3Ag-8Bi-5In. Experimental results showed that the zero-cross-time and wetting time at $240^{\circ}C$ for the Sn-3Ag-8Bi-5In were 1.1 and 2.2 second respectively. These values are a little better than these of Sn-37Pb and Sn-3.5Ag solders. The equilibrium wetting farce of the Sn-3Ag-8Bi-5In was 5.8 mN at $240^{\circ}C$, and it was tuned out to be a little higher than that of Sn-3.5Ag and lower than that of Sn-37Pb.
