The reaction of ultra-small eutectic 58Bl-42Sn solder bump with Au/Ni/Ti and Au/Cu/Ti UBMs during reflow was studied. The eutectic Bi-Sn solder bumps of $46{\mu}m$ diameter were fabricated by using the evaporation method and were reflowed using the rapid thermal annealing system. The intermetallic compound was characterized using a SEM, an EDS, and an XRD. The $(Cu_xAu_{1-x})_6Sn_5$ compounds formed at the interface between Bi-Sn solder and Au/Cu/Ti UBM. On the other hand, in the Bi-Sn solder bump on Au/Ni/Ti UBM, the faceted and rectangular intermetallic compounds were observed on the solder bump surface and inside the solder bump as well as at the UBM interface. These intermetallic compounds were Identified as $(Au_{l-x-y}Bi_xNi_y)Sn_2$ phase.

In-Bi-Sn alloy sheet has been used as a thermal fusible parts of secondary battery safety system. This study offers a simple process to make In-Bi-Sn alloy fusible parts. The process consists of two procedures, melting and sheeting by tape casting. 62.5 wt%-In 20.0 wt%-Bi 17.5 wt%-Sn (M.P. $92.4^{\circ}C$) alloy sheet obtained by tape casting was used as the thermal fusible sheet of thermal fuse system for mobile telephone. The performance test of the system was carried out in oil bath, and the fusible alloy sheet was melted and cut off at $95^{\circ}C$. This results confirmed the possibility that the alloy sheet obtained by tape casting can be usable as a thermal fusible parts of battery safety system. And this process can be applied as a simple process to recycle the In-Bi-Sn alloy scrap separated from the used thermal fuse system.

Sn-8wt%Zn-3wt%Bi (이하, Sn-8Zn-3Bi) 솔더의 장기 신뢰성을 평가하기 위하여 고용고습시험을 행하였다. 고온 고습 시험은 $85^{\circ}C$/85RH 조건에서 1000 시간 동안 하였다. 접합 기판으로는 각각 OSP (Organic Solderability Preservative), Sn 그리고 Ni/Au 처리를 한 PCB(Printed Circuit Board) 패드를 사용하였다. 접합에 사용한 부품은 1608Chip 으로 MLCC(Multi Layer Ceramic Capacitor 이하, 1608C) 와 Chip Resister(이하, 1608R)을 사용하였으며, 이 두 부품의 전극부위에 Sn-10wt%Pb(이하 Sn-l0PB), Sn을 각각 도금하였다. 솔더링 후 1608C 와 1608R의 전단 접합 강도와 솔더링부에서 Zn상의 변화를 관찰하였다. 측정결과, Sn-8Zn-3Bi 솔더의 초기 전단 접합 강도는 기판의 표면처리에 상관없이 약 40N 이었다. 그러나 고온 고습 시험 1000 시간 후에는 기판의 표면처리에 상관없이 약 30N 까지 감소하였다. 하지만 이는 reference인 Sn-37Pb 솔더의 강도값과 거의 유사하며, 이는 Sn-8Bi-3Zn 솔더의 고온 고습 시험 후 전단강도 특성은 기존 유연솔더와 비교하여 동등이상이라고 평가할 수 있다.

A chip interconnection technology for smart fabrics was investigated by using flip-chip bonding of SnBi low-temperature solder. A fabric substrate with a Cu leadframe could be successfully fabricated with transferring a Cu leadframe from a carrier film to a fabric by hot-pressing at $130^{\circ}C$. A chip specimen with SnBi solder bumps was formed by screen printing of SnBi solder paste and was connected to the Cu leadframe of the fabric substrate by flip-chip bonding at $180^{\circ}C$ for 60 sec. The average contact resistance of the SnBi flip-chip joint of the smart fabric was measured as $9m{\Omega}$.

The growth kinetics of intermetallic compound layers formed between eutectic Sn-58Bi solder and (Cu, electroless Ni-P/Cu) substrate were investigated at temperature between 70 and 120 C for 1 to 60 days. The layer growth of intermetallic compound in the couple of the Sn-58Bi/Cu and Sn-58Bi/electroless Ni-P system satisfied the parabolic law at given temperature range. As a whole, because the values of time exponent (n) have approximately 0.5, the layer growth of the intermetallic compound was mainly controlled by volume diffusion over the temperature range studied. The apparent activation energies of Cu$_{6}$Sn$_{5}$ and Ni$_3$Sn$_4$ intermetallic compound in the couple of the Sn-58Bi/Cu and Sn-58Bi/electroless Ni-P were 127.9 and 81.6 kJ/mol, respectively.ely.

Many kinds of Pb-free solder have been investigated because of the environmental concerns. Sn-Ag-Cu system is well blown as most competitive Pb-free solder. However, since Sn-Ag-Cu system has relatively high melting point compared to Sn-Pb eutectic, it may a limitation, the some application. In this study, Bi and In contained solder of $Sn_3Ag_8Bi_5In$ which has relatively lower melting point, $188~204^{\circ}C$, was investigated. $Sn_3Ag_8Bi_5In$ solder ball of $500\mu\textrm{m}$ diameter was set on the Ni/Cu/Cr-UBM and reflow soldered in the range of $220~240^{\circ}C$ for 5~15s. The maximum shear strength of the solder ball was around 170mN by reflowing at $240^{\circ}C$ for 10s. Intermetallic compound formed on the UBM of Si-wafer was analysed by SEM(scanning electron microscope) and XRD(X-ray diffractometer).

저온용 무연 솔더의 대표 조성으로 고려되고 있는 Sn-58Bi(융점: $138^{\circ}C$) 공정(eutectic) 조성은 우수한 강도에도 불구하고 연성(ductility) 측면에서의 문제점이 지속적으로 보고되고 있다. 따라서 이 합금계의 연성을 최대로 개선시킬 수 있으면서도 실제 상용화가 가능한 합금 조성의 개발 연구가 요청된다. 본 연구에서는 Sn-Bi 2원계 조성에서 최대의 연성을 나타내는 것으로 보고된 Sn-40Bi 조성에 미량의 합금원소를 첨가함으로써 최대의 연성을 확보하는 한편, 그 연성 특성이 변형속도에 어느 정도 민감한지를 인장 실험을 통해 결정하고자 하였다. 합금원소로는 0.1~0.5 wt%의 Ag, Mn, In, Cu를 선택하였으며, 인장 시편을 제조하여 $10^{-2}$, $10^{-3}$, $10^{-4}\;s^{-1}$의 3종류로 변형속도를 변형시켜가며 응력-변형 곡선(stress-strain curve)을 측정하였고, 조성별, 변형속도별로 최대인장강도(ultimate tensile stress, UTS) 및 연신율 결과들을 정리하였다. 합금원소를 첨가한 조성의 경우는 모든 시험 조건에서 Sn-40Bi보다 우수한 연신률을 나타내는 것으로 측정되었으나, $10^{-2}\;s^{-1}$의 빠른 변형속도에서는 그 향상 정도가 상대적으로 감소하는 경향이 관찰되었다. 특히 Sn-40Bi-0.5Ag 조성의 경우 느린 변형속도에서 특히 눈에 띄는 연신률 값을 나타내며, 모든 변형속도 조건에서 가장 우수한 연성을 나타내었다. 한편 Sn-40Bi-0.1Cu 조성의 경우 변형속도에 따른 연신률의 변화 정도, 즉, 변형속도에 따른 연신률의 민감도가 매우 커 $10^{-4}\;s^{-1}$ 속도에서는 Sn-40Bi-0.5Ag에 버금가는 연신률 값이 측정되었으나, $10^{-2}\;s^{-1}$ 속도에서는 가장 나쁜 연신률 특성을 보여주었다. Sn-40Bi-0.2Mn 조성은 최고의 연신률 향상 특성을 나타내지는 않았으나, In을 첨가한 경우보다는 대체적으로 우수한 연성을 나타내었다. 이상의 각 합금별 연성 특성은 인장시험 전의 미세조직 관찰 결과와 인장시험 후 파면부의 조직변화 관찰 결과로부터 해석되었다. 그 결과 석출상의 형성 여부, 인장 시험 중 재결정 조직의 형성 여부, 라멜라(lamellar) 조직의 분율과 라멜라 간격(lamellar spacing)의 정도 또는 $\beta$-Sn과 라멜라 조직 사이의 결정립계와 라멜라 조직 내 결정립계에서의 슬라이딩 모드(sliding mode) 변형 정도, 석출상의 크기와 분포 정도 등이 연신률 및 변형속도 민감도와 같은 연성 특성에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 인자인 것으로 분석되었다.

Bismuth and Indium added Sn-Cu-Ni solder alloy was investigated for a new lead free solder. The thermal, electrical and mechanical properties were characterized for the Sn-0.7%(Cu+Ni) solder alloy by adding 2~5% Bi and 2~ 10% In. The melting point of solder alloy was in range of 200 to $222^{\circ}C$ and the mushy zone was in range of 20 to $37^{\circ}C$. This alloys could be adapted to middle and high temperature solder materials. A new solder alloy composition. Sn-0.7%(Cu+Ni) -3.5%Bi-2%In is very promising with high performance and effective cost. The melting point was $220^{\circ}C$, the mushy zone range was $25^{\circ}C$, and mechanical, electrical and wetting properties were competitive with those of other lead-free solder except the lower elongation value.

Sn-3.5Ag-xBi alloys with five different levels of Bi (0, 2.5, 4.8, 7.5, 10 wt%) were prepared for evaluating creep properties. Cast alloys were roiled and heat treated to provide stable microstructures during the subsequent creep tests, which were conducted under constant load using dog-bone specimens. For the Bi containing alloys, creep strength showed the maximum around 2.5 wt%Bi and tended to decrease with increasing Bi content. The stress exponent of the alloy was around 4, suggesting typical dislocation creep, but the exponent was 2 for the 10 wt%Bi alloy, suggesting creep assisted by grain boundary Sliding. For the Bi containing alloys, the brittle fracture mode appeared showing small amount of reduction of area, while the ductile fracture mode was true for the Bi free alloy. Microstructural examination of ruptured specimens showed cavitations on grain boundaries normal to the load axis, and a significant of grain boundary sliding for the Bi containing alloys.
