In the last 50 years, lead-contained solder materials have been the most popular interconnect materials used in the electronics industry. Recently, lead-free solders are about to replace lead-contained solders for preventing environmental pollutions. However, the reliability of lead-free solders is not yet satisfactory. Several researchers reported that lead-contained solders have a good fatigue property. The others published that the lead-free solders have a longer thermal fatigue life. In this paper, the reason for the contradictory results published on the estimation of fatigue life of lead-free solder is investigated. In the present study, fatigue behavior of 63Sn37Pb, and two types of lead-free solder joints were compared using pseudo-power cycling testing method, which provides more realistic load cycling than chamber cycling method does. Pseudo-power cycling test was performed in various temperature ranges to evaluating the shear strain effect. A nonlinear finite element model was used to simulate the thermally induced visco-plastic deformation of solder ball joint in BGA packages. It was found that lead-free solder joints have a good fatigue property in the small temperature range condition. That condition induce small strain amplitude. However in the large temperature range condition, lead-contained solder joints have a longer fatigue life.

The characteristic of induction heating solder bump(solder ball: Sn-37Pb, Sn-3.5Ag, Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu) has analyzed in this paper. The initial condition of induction heating depends on the time and current. The shape of lead-free solder bump is better than lead solder. The shear strength of lead solder bump has decreased with aging time. The average of shear strength of solder bump is about 10N, 11N, and 11N respectively. The lead-free solder bump's shear strength is better than lead solder and varies irregularly with aging time.

In this paper, stability of initial strength at solder joint with lead free solders, such as Sn-In (52-48%) and Sn-Ag (96.5-3.5wt%) was studied. To obtain at solder joint with high quality, it is very important to control the temperature at the interface of solder joints. It is found that the thermal EMF (electro motive force) occurs betwee lead frame and copper pad on a substrate during reflow soldering process using heated tip. As a result of control the temperature at interface of solder joints, variation of initial strength at solder joint decreases from about $\pm40%$ to $\pm20%$, and it is realized Pb free soldering process using Sn/In and Sn-Ag solder paste.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the solder properties by the change of P mass percentage. Tension test, wetting balance test, spread test, and analysis of intermetallic compound after isothermal aging of Sn-2.5Ag-0.7Cu-0.005P, Sn-2.5Ag-0.7Cu-0.01P, Sn-2.5Ag-0.7Cu-0.02P, Sn-0.7Cu-0.005P were performed. Adding P in the solder alloys resulted in improvement of tensile strength, reduction of intermetallic compound growth, reduction of oxidization in fusible solders under wave soldering. After comparing solder alloy containing P with tin-lead eutectic solder alloy, P contained solders alloys showed much better solder properties than eutectic solder alloy. Furthermore, this solder alloy presented remarkable properties than any other lead-free solder alloy.

반도체 패키지에 사용되고 있는 유연 솔더는 환경 보호 필요성 대문에 무연 솔더로 빠르게 대체되고 있다. 이와 같은 무연 솔더에 대한 여구는 주로 재료의 발견과 공정 적응성의 관점에서 이루어졌을 뿐, 기계적인 성질이나 신뢰성의 관점에서의 연구는 많이 이루어지지 않았다. 본 논문에서는 무아레 간섭계를 이용하여 유연 솔더와 무연 솔더 실장 WB-PBGA 패키지 결합체의 온도변화에 대한 열-기게적 거동을 해석하였다. 실시간 무아레 간섭계를 이용하여 각 온도 단계에서 변위 분포를 나타내는 간섭무늬를 얻고, 그로부터 유연과 무연의 솔더 조인트를 갖는 WB-PBGA 패키지의 굽힘 변형 거동 및 솔더 볼의 변형률을 비교 분석하였다. 분석결과를 보면 유연 솔더 실장 패키지 결합체의 솔더 볼은 칩경계 부근인 #3 솔더 볼에서 발생하는 전단변형률이 파손에 큰 영향을 미치며, 무연 솔더가 실장된 패키지 결합체의 솔더 볼은 가장 바깥 부근인 #7 솔더 볼에서 발행하는 수직 변형률이 파손에 큰 영향을 미칠 것으로 예측된다, 또한 무연 솔더 실장 패키지 결합체는 같은 온도 조건에서 유연 솔더 실장된 패키지에 비해 굽힘 변형이 휠씬 크게 발생될 뿐 아니라 솔더 볼의 유효변형률도 10% 정도 크게 발생하는 것으로 나타나서 열변형에 의한 파손에 취약할 것으로 예측된다.

A packaging technology based on flip-chip bonding and Pb-free solder for silicon pressure sensors on printed circuit board (PCB) is presented. First, the bump formation process was conducted by Pb-free solder. Ag-Sn-Cu solder and the pressed-screen printing method were used to fabricate solder bumps. The fabricated solder bumps had $189-223{\mu}m$ width, $120-160{\mu}m$ thickness, and 5.4-6.9 standard deviation. Also, shear tests was conducted to measure the bump shear strength by a Dage 2400 PC shear tester; the average shear strength was 74 g at 0.125 mm/s of test speed and $5{\mu}m$ shear height. Then, silicon pressure sensor packaging was implemented using the Pb-free solder and bump formation process. The characteristics of the pressure sensor were analogous to the results obtained when the pressure sensor dice are assembled and packaged using the standard wire-bonding technique.

European Union Member States shall ensure that, from 1 July 2006, new electrical and electronic equipment put on the market does not contain mercury, cadmium, lead, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls(PBB) or polybrominated diphenyl ethers(PBDE) (by Directive 2002/95/EC of The European Parliament and the Council of 27 january, 2003 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment ). So, It is important to develop lead free solder and to assure the reliability of appliance. But lead free solder(i.e. Sn-3Ag-0.5Cu) have some problems such as lift off, whisker, migration and crack, etc. In this paper we discuss the reliability assurance method in lead free solder and appliance.

SnAgCu lead-free solder alloy is considered as the best alternative to eutectic tin-lead solder. However, the detailed material properties of SnAgCu solder are not available in public. Hence, this paper presents an estimation of mechanical properties of SnAgCu lead-free solder. In particular, the weight percent of Ag was varied as 1.0wt%, 2.5wt%, 3.0wt%, and 4.5wt% in order to estimate the effect of Ag in the Sn-xAg-0.5Cu ternary alloy system. For this purpose, four types of SnAgCu bars were first molded by casting and then standard specimens were cut out of molded bars. Micro-Vickers hardness, tensile tests were finally performed to estimate the variations in mechanical properties according to the weight percent of Ag. Test results reveal that the higher the weight percent of Ag is, the higher the hardness, yield strength, and ultimate tensile strength become. More material properties will be further investigated in the future work.

최근에 모바일 기기의 사용이 늘어남에 따라 굽힘 응력에 대한 패키지 접합부의 신뢰성에 대한 관심이 다시 높아지고 있다. 기존의 굽힘실험은 생산공정 및 운반 등에 파손을 방지하기 위해서 수행되었으나 최근에는 모바일 기기의 이동 및 사용에 따라 발생되는 응력에 대한 저항성 평가나 드롭시험의 대용으로 수행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 정확한 4점 굽힘 실험 방법을 도입하여 유연 솔더 조인트와 무연 솔더 조인트의 굽힘 피로 시험에 대한 저항성을 평가하고, 단면 관찰과 유한요소법을 이용한 해석을 수행하였다. 높은 하중이 작용하게 되면, 유연 솔더 조인트가 보다 긴 피로수명을 갖으며, 낮은 하중이 작용할 때는 무연 솔더 조인트가 긴 수명을 가지게 된다. 크랙은 시편의 외각에서 발생되어 안쪽으로 진행하게 되며, 소성변형이 손상의 대부분을 자치하게 된다.
