The purpose of this study is to evaluate the evaluation of process yield performed by using Sn & Cu treatment on the surface to optimize process condition for Lead-free solder application. The materials which are used for the New Surface Treatment study are Semi-Dulling plating for high speed Sn/Cu alloy of Soft Alloy GTC-33 Pb free known as "UEMURA Method" and plating substrate is alloy 42.Especially in lead-free plating process, it is important to control plating thickness and Copper composition than Sn/Pb plating. Evaluated and controlled plating thickness $12{\pm}3um$, Copper composition $2{\pm}1%$, plating particle and visual inspection. The optimization of these parameters and condition makes it makes possible to apply Sn/Cu Lead-free solder from Sn/Pb alloy.

In this study, we found that it is important to have a specific management of standards which are the $12{\pm}3{\mu}m$ of plating thickness and $2{\pm}1%$ of tuning. To verify these standards, we checked the plating thickness and density of tuning through marginal valuation of each and checked size of a plating particle, adhesion of solder and condition of reflow after a section chief.

Theoretical and practical aspects are investigated for electrochemical behavious, plating processes and the structures of electrodeposit of Pb-Sn binary alloy plating through numerous literatures in this report. The anodic and cathodic electrode reaction mechanisms of Pb and Sn could co-deposit and make Pb-Sn alloy deposit from the results of cathode current density-cathode potential curves of Pb, Sn and Pb-Sn alloys in fluoborate solutions. The compositions of the best alloy plating solutions are obtained for the purpose of bearing, anticorrosion and solder plating. In general, the casting anodes of Pb-Sn alloys are used, but separated anodes of Pb and Sn pure metal are used in order to obtain the fine compositions of Pb-Sn alloy deposits. The electrodeposits of Pb-Sn alloy are in nonequilibrium state and saturated solid solutions. Thus, ${\beta}$-phase (Sn-phase) is precipitated by heat treatment. The texture and structure of the electrodeposit are associated with the surface energies of deposit lattice planes and with the cathode polarization. The electrodeposit of Pb-Sn alloy is shown as lamellar structure.

Copper has been widely used for the electronic parts, and especially spot welded one for the leads of condenser or resistor. However, copper is generally hard to be spot welded because of its low electrical resistivity. For this experiment, Sn-37%Pb solder which has relatively higher resistivity was coated on the Cu-sheet to improve the spot weldability of copper. As the experimental variables welding pressure was varied from 100 to 200kgf, welding time from 20 to 50ms, and welding current from 100 to 2500A. Experimental results showed that the solder coated Cu-sheet can be spot welded under the conditions of 400~2200A welding current, 100~200kgf pressure and 20-50ms welding time. The tensile shear strength of the spot welded joint increased with welding current up to the critical current, and after the critical value decreased with current.

Sn도금액은 강산에서는 $Sn^{2+}$, 강알칼리에서는 $Sn^{4+}$석출이 안정하다. 중성영역은 도금액에 $Sn^{2+}$침전을 방지하기 위하여 착화제가 필요하다. 기록에 남아 있는 가장 오래된 Sn도금은 1856년 Gore가 4가의 주석산염을 사용한 알칼리성용액이다. 그 후 50~60년 사이에 2가의 염화주석($SnCl_2$)과 KOH에 Cyan 등의 착화제를 첨가한 도금액이 발표되었다. 최초의 실용적인 알칼리주석용액은 1931년 Oplinger의 4가 주석산 염으로서, $CH_3COONa$를 완충제로 사용하였고, $Sn^{2+}$을 산화시키기 위하여 과산화물이나 과 붕산염을 첨가하였다. 알칼리성 Sn용액은 Natrium용액과 Kalium용액이 있지만, Kalium염이 용해성이 좋고, Sn농도를 높여 전류밀도를 높일 수 있다. 알칼리성용액은 도금속도가 산성용액의 1/2로 되고, 음극효율도 80~90% 정도 낮아, 두꺼운 피막이나 생산성을 중시하는 부품에는 적합하지 않다. 초기의 산성용액은 Sn의 정련목적으로 사용되었고, Pb정련에 사용된 Fluor규산용액에 Gelatine을 첨가하였다. Mathers는 Cresol산을 첨가하여 미량의 Cresol포화용액을 사용하여 고속으로 두껍게 석출시킬 수 있었다. 독일의 Schloetter도 다양한 방향족 술폰산으로써 반 광택피막을 실현하였다. 산성Sn도금액은 첨가제에 어떠한 유기화합물을 사용하는가는 도금장치나 석출상태로써 결정할 수 있다. Hothersall과 Bradshaw는 Cresol술폰산을 첨가하여 도금액 안정성 향상을 발견했다. Cresol술폰산은 $Sn^{2+}$의 안정제이며, Gelatine은 분산제기능을 한다. 붕 불화용액은 Sn농도를 높일 수 있고, $2{\sim}12A/dm^2$의 고 전류밀도의 도금이 가능하다. 1937년 Schloetter가 개발하여 미국의 제철회사에서 사용되었다. Sn-Ni도금은 Ni도금보다도 뛰어난 내식성이 있기 때문에 자전거, 자동차부품에 사용되고 있다. 실용도금액은 1951년 Parkinson이 발표한 HBF/HCL용액이다. $SnCl_2$산성용액에서 표준전위는 -0.136V인데 비하여, Ni이온의 표준전위는 -0.25V이다. HF용액에서는 불화물이온이 $Sn^{2+}$의 석출전위를 (-)방향으로 이동시켜서 합금석출이 가능하다. Sn-Co도금은 Cr도금의 색조에 가깝고, 장식목적으로 사용된다. Cr도금 대체용으로 사용된다. 내마모성이나 내식성은 Cr도금보다도 떨어지기 때문에 장식목적에 한정된다. 1953년 Parkinson은 Sn-Ni도금연구에서 동일한 용액조성으로부터 Co 30%를 석출시켰다. Sn-Zn도금은 방식도금으로서 자동차부품에 많이 사용되고 있다. Sn과 Zn의 표준전위는 서로 멀리 떨어져 있기 때문에 산성용액에서는 공석될 수 없다. 1980년대에 들면서, 방식Cd(Cadmium)도금의 독성 때문에 Sn-Zn도금을 재인식 하게 되었다. 1957년 Vaid 등이 No Cyan도금액을 발표했다. 그 후 러시아의 연구자가 안정한 도금액을 연구하였고, Srivastava와 Muckergee가 1976년에 종합하였다.

The electroplating process for a solder bump which can be applied for a flip chip was studied. Si-wafer was used for an experimental substrate, and the substrate were coated with UBM (Under Bump Metallization) of Al(400 nm)/Cu(300 nm)Ni(400 nm)/Au(20 nm) subsequently. The compositions of the bump were Sn-Cu and eutectic Sn-Pb, and characteristics of two bumps were compared. Experimental results showed that the electroplated thickness of the solders were increased with time, and the increasing rates were TEX>$0.45 <\mu\textrm{m}$/min for the Sn-Cu and $ 0.35\mu\textrm{m}$/min for the Sn-Pb. In the case of Sn-Cu, electroplating rate increased from 0.25 to $2.7\mu\textrm{m}$/min with increasing current density from 1 to 8.5 $A/dm^2$. In the case of Sn-Pb the rate increased until the current density became $4 A/dm^2$, and after that current density the rate maintains constant value of $0.62\mu\textrm{m}$/min. The electro plated bumps were air reflowed to form spherical bumps, and their bonded shear strengths were evaluated. The shear strength reached at the reflow time of 10 sec, and the strength was of 113 gf for Sn-Cu and 120 gf for Sn-Pb.
