3차원 적층 패키지를 위한 Cu/Ni/Au/Sn-Ag/Cu 미세 범프의 열처리에 따른 금속간 화합물 성장 거동을 분석하기 위하여 in-situ SEM에서 $135^{\circ}C$, $150^{\circ}C$, $170^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 실시간 열처리 실험을 진행하였다. 실험 결과 금속간 화합물의 성장 거동은 열처리시간이 경과함에 따라 시간의 제곱근에 직선 형태로 증가하였고, 확산에 의한 성장이 지배적인 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. Ni/Au 층의 존재로 인해 Au의 확산으로 복잡한 구조의 금속간 화합물이 생성 된 것을 확인할 수 있다. 활성화 에너지는 $Cu_3Sn$의 경우 0.69eV, $(Cu,Ni,Au)_6Sn_5$경우 0.84 eV로 Ni이 포함된 금속간 화합물이 더 높은 것을 확인 하였으며, 확산 방지층 역할을 하는 Ni층에 의해 금속간 화합물 성장이 억제됨에 따라 신뢰성이 향상 될 것으로 사료된다.

In this study, three solders, Sn-37Pb, Sn-3.5Ag, and Sn-3.8Ag-0.7Cu were screen printed on both electroless Ni/Au and OSP metal finished micro-via PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards). The interfacial reaction between PCB metal pad finish materials and solder materials, and its effects on the solder bump joint mechanical reliability were investigated. The lead free solders formed a large amount of intermetallic compounds (IMC) than Sn-37Pb on both electroless Ni/Au and OSP (Organic Solderabilty Preservatives) finished PCBs during solder reflows because of the higher Sn content and higher reflow temperature. For OSP finish, scallop-like $Cu_{6}$ /$Sn_{5}$ and planar $Cu_3$Sn intermetallic compounds (IMC) were formed, and fracture occurred 100% within the solder regardless of reflow numbers and solder materials. Bump shear strength of lead free solders showed higher value than that of Sn-37Pb solder, because lead free solders are usually harder than eutectic Sn-37Pb solder. For Ni/Au finish, polygonal shaped $Ni_3$$Sn_4$ IMC and P-rich Ni layer were formed, and a brittle fracture at the Ni-Sn IMC layer or the interface between Ni-Sn intermetallic and P-rich Ni layer was observed after several reflows. Therefore, bump shear strength values of the Ni/Au finish are relatively lower than those of OSP finish. Especially, spalled IMCs at Sn-3.5Ag interface was observed after several reflow times. And, for the Sn-3.8Ag-0.7Cu solder case, the ternary Sn-Ni-Cu IMCs were observed. As a result, it was found that OSP finished PCB was a better choice for solders on PCB in terms of flip chip mechanical reliability.

UBM(Under Bump Metallurgy) is very important for successful realization of Flip-Chip technology. In this study, it is investigated the interfacial reactions between various Sn-Ag solder alloys and Ni-P/Au UBM and Cu plate finish. It is also evaluated the shear strength by using the micro shear-punch test method for Sn-37Pb alloy, binary and ternary alloys of environment-friendly Pb-free solder alloys which are applied in the electronic packages. In terms of interfacial microstructure, the Pb-free solder joints have thicker IMCs than the Sn-Pb solder joints. The thickness of IMC is related to Reflow time. The IMC has been observed to grow with the increase in Reflow time. As a result of the shear test, in case of Max. shear strength, Pb-free solder showed the highest strength value and Sn-37Pb showed the lowest strength value 10 be generally condition of Reflow time.
