This study was performed to observe the microhardness change of the surface and the bonding strength between the porcelain and alloy specimens in order to investigate the effects of appended indium, tin and copper on interfacial properties of Au-Pd-Ag alloys. The hardness of castings was measured with a micro-Vicker's hardness tester. The interfacial shear bonding strength between alloy specimen and fused porcelain was measured with a mechanical testing system(MTS 858.20). The microhardness of Au-Pd-Ag alloy was increased by adding indium and tin, but not increased by adding copper. The shear bonding strength of Au-Pd-Ag-Sn alloy and Au-Pd-Ag-Cu alloy showed 87MPa, 57MPa. The higher concentration of adding elements showed the higher shear bonding strength.

Electrochemical migration characteristics of Pb-free solder alloys are quantitatively correlated with corrosion characteristics in harsh environment conditions. In-situ water drop test and corrosion resistance test for Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder alloys were carried out in NaBr and NaF solutions to obtain the electrochemical migration lifetime and pitting potential, respectively. Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder alloy shows similar ionization and electrochemical migration behavior with pure Sn because of Ag and Cu do not migrate due to the formation of resistant intermetallic compounds inside solder itself. Electrochemical migration lifetime in NaBr is longer than in NaF, which seems to be closely related to higher pitting potential in NaBr than NaF solution. Therefore, it was revealed that electrochemical migration lifetime of Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder alloys showed good correlation to the corrosion resistance, and also the initial ionization step at anode side is believed to be the rate-determining step during electrochemical migration of Pb-free solders in these environments.

The microstructure of Sn1.8Bi0.8Cu0.6In alloys was evaluated at various aging time. The bumps of Sn1.8Bi0.8Cu0.6In alloys after reflowed at $250^{\circ}C$ were well-formed and had 260um height. The craters on the bumps, however, were observed. Intermetallic compounds formed on the interface between so]der and Cu/Ni UBM were consist of $(Cu,Ni)_6Sn_5$. As aging goes on up to 1000hours, the composition of Ni changed from $6.63\%$ at initial stage(as-reflowed) to $13.47\%$ at final stage(1000hours aging ). In addition, after 500hours aging, the floating of IMC to the solder was observed.

The long-term reliability of Sn-0.3wt%Ag-0.7wt%Cu solder joints was evaluated and compared with Sn-3.0wt%Ag-0.5wt%Cu under thermal shock conditions. Test vehicles were prepared to use Sn-0.3Ag-0.7Cu and Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder alloys. To compare the shear strength of the solder joints, 0603, 1005, 1608, 2012, 3216 and 4232 multi-layer ceramic chip capacitors were used. A reflow soldering process was utilized in the preparation of the test vehicles involving a FR-4 material-based printed circuit board (PCB). To compare the shear strength degradation following the thermal shock cycles, a thermal shock test was conducted up to 2,000 cycles at temperatures ranging from $-40^{\circ}C$ to $85^{\circ}C$, with a dwell time of 30 min at each temperature. The shear strength of the solder joints of the chip capacitors was measured at every 500 cycles in each case. The intermetallic compounds (IMCs) of the solder joint interfaces werealso analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The results showed that the reliability of Sn-0.3Ag-0.7Cu solder joints was very close to that of Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu. Consequently, it was confirmed that Sn-0.3Ag-0.7Cu solder alloy with a low silver content can be replaced with Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu.

The present study demonstrates the effect of freezing conditions on the pore structure of porous Cu-10 wt.% Sn prepared by freeze drying of $CuO-SnO_2$/camphene slurry. Mixtures of CuO and $SnO_2$ powders are prepared by ball milling for 10 h. Camphene slurries with 10 vol.% of $CuO-SnO_2$ are unidirectionally frozen in a mold maintained at a temperature of $-30^{\circ}C$ for 1 and 24 h, respectively. Pores are generated by the sublimation of camphene at room temperature. After hydrogen reduction and sintering at $650^{\circ}C$ for 2 h, the green body of the $CuO-SnO_2$ is completely converted into porous Cu-Sn alloy. Microstructural observation reveals that the sintered samples have large pores which are aligned parallel to the camphene growth direction. The size of the large pores increases from 150 to $300{\mu}m$ with an increase in the holding time. Also, the internal walls of the large pores contain relatively small pores whose size increases with the holding time. The change in pore structure is explained by the growth behavior of the camphene crystals and rearrangement of the solid particles during the freezing process.

Sn-Cu-Ni계 솔더 합금에 소량의 Bi와 In을 첨가하여 새로운 무연솔더 합금 개발을 진행하였다. Sn-0.7%(Cu+Ni)에 2~5% Bi, 2~10% In을 첨가하여 각각의 열적, 전기적, 기계적 특성을 평가하였다. 솔더합금의 융점은 200~222$^{\circ}C$, 응고온도범위는 20~37$^{\circ}C$로 중.고온계 솔더로서 적용이 가능하다. 실험 조성별 솔더 합금중 실용적, 경제적인 면을 고려하여 Sn-0.7%(Cu+Ni)-3.5%Bi-2%In이 최적의 합금조성으로 판단된다. 이 합금은 융점이 22$0^{\circ}C$정도이며 응고범위는 $25^{\circ}C$, 강도 면에서는 타 합금에 비해 상당히 우수한 값을 나타내었으며 연신율은 비교적 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 다른 기계적, 전기적 특성은 타 솔더 합금과 유사하거나 우수한 편이었으며 젖음특성도 양호하였다.

솔더(solder) 재료는 수 천년 이상 인류 문명과 함께해온 대표적인 금속 합금으로서 현재까지도 전자 패키징(electronic packaging) 및 표면 실장(SMT, surface mount technology) 분야의 핵심 소재로 사용되고 있다 그러나 최근 Ag 가격의 급격한 상승과 전자산업의 저가격화 전략으로 인해 솔더 재료에서의 Ag 함량의 감소가 지속적으로 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu, Sn-0.7Cu 및 Sn-0.3Ag-0.5Cu(weight%) 조성의 무연납 솔더바 샘플을 주조법으로 합금화 하였다. 제조한 Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu, Sn-0.7Cu 및 Sn-0.3Ag-0.5Cu 샘플에 대한 결정구조, 화학조성 및 미세구조를 XRD, XRF, 광학현미경, FE-SEM 및 EDS 분석을 이용하여 조사하였다. 분석결과, 제조된 샘플은 ${\beta}-Sn$, ${\varepsilon}-Ag_3Sn$ 및 ${\eta}-Cu_6Sn_5$ 결정으로 구성되어 있었을 확인할 수 있었다.

Interfacial reaction and mechanical properties between Sn-Zn-X ternary alloys(X : 3wt.%In, 4wt.%Bi) and Cu-substrate were studied. Cu/solder joints were subjected to aging treatments for up to 50days to see interfacial reaction at $100^{\circ}C$ and then were examined changes of microstructure and interfacial compound by optical microscopy, SEM and EDS. Cu/solder joints were aged to 30days and then loaded to failure at cross head speed of 0.3 mm $min^{-1}$ to measure tensile strength. According to the results of the solderability test, additions of In and Bi in the Sn-9wt.%Zn solder improve the wetting characteristics of the alloy and lower the melting temperature. Through the EDS and XRD analysis of Cu/Sn-9wt.%Zn solder joint, it was concluded that the intermetallic compound was the ${\gamma}-Cu_5Zn_8$ phase. Cu-Zn intermetallics at Cu/solder interfaces played an important role in both the microstructure evolution and failure of solder joints. Cu/solder joint strength was decreased by aging treatment, and those phenomenon was closely related to the thickening of intermetallic layer at Cu/solder joints.

인체접촉시 니켈도금의 알러지 반응을 억제하기 위한 대체 도금기술인 비 시안계 Cu-Sn 합금도금을 개발함에 있어서, 황산구리5수화물과 황산제일주석을 금속염으로 하여 황산 및 계면활성제, 유화제 등을 포함한 각종 유기첨가제를 포함하였고 특히 은백색조의 외관 색상과 안정적인 Cu-Sn 합금전착을 위해 2종의 착화제인 EDTP($C_{14}H_{32}N_2O_4$)와 TEA(Triethanolamine)를 첨가한 비 시안계 Cu-Sn 합금 도금액을 도출하였다. Cu-Sn 합금도금 피막 조성의 균일화를 도모하기 위해서는 합금 도금액중의 Cu와 Sn 금속이온 농도를 일정하게 유지하는 것이 필요하다. 그러나 합금 도금액중 2가 주석이온($Sn^{2+}$)은 수용액중에서 4가 주석이온($Sn^{4+}$)으로 산화됨으로써 도금액 색상이 백탁이 되고 Stannic Hydroxide($Sn(OH)_4$, $SnO_2{\cdot}2H_2O$)이 생성되어 대량의 침전물이 침강하는 문제점이 발생되는 등 시간 경과에 따른 도금액의 경시 변화가 발생되었다. 상기 침전물은 연속여과에 의해 제거 가능하나 합금 도금액중 $Sn^{2+}$ 농도가 지속적으로 감소하게 된다. 이는 합금 도금액중 금속이온 비율이 변동함으로써 합금도금 피막의 조성비를 일정하게 유지하는 것이 곤란해진다. 이에 $Sn^{4+}$ 침전물 생성을 방지하기 위한 산화방지제를 개발하고 또한 산화방지제의 첨가에 따른 도금 피막 외관에 미치는 영향을 평가하여 외관 개선을 위한 광택제를 개발하고자 한다. 본 연구의 결과를 토대로 니켈도금과 동등 이상의 기능 특성을 갖는 비시안계 Cu-Sn 합금도금액을 개발하여 실용화하는 것을 목적으로 하였다.
