본 실험에서는 $S0.7wt\%Cu,\;Sn3.8wt\%Ag0.7wt\%Cu$ solder와 금속층으로서의 좋은 특성을 가지고 있지만 아직 연구 보고 된 적 없는 Pt층과의 리플로 반응에 의해 형성되는 계면금속간화합물의 상 분석을 시도 하였다 또한 솔더내 Cu함량에 따른 계면금속간화합물의 변화에 대하여 연구하기 위해 $Sn1.7wt\%Cu$솔더와 Pt층의 계면반응 현상에 대한 연구도 수행하였다. $Sn0.7(1.7)wt\%Cu$솔더는 순수한 Sn과 Cu를 이용하여 중량비로 제조하였고, $Sn3.8wt\%Ag0.7wt\%Cu$솔더는 솔더페이스트를 사용하였다. 분석은 SEM, EDS, XRD를 이용하였다. 분석 결과 세 가지 무연솔더 모두에서 $PtSn_4$가 계면 금속간화합물로 존재함을 발견하였으며 $1.7wt\%Cu$를 포함한 솔더와 Pt와의 반응에서는 고용도 이상으로 첨가된 Cu에 의해 솔더 내부에 조대한 형상의 $Cu_6Sn_5$가 존재함을 SEM 및 EDS분석을 통하여 발견 하였다.

The soldering property of Pb-containing solder(Sn-Pb) and Pb-free solders(Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu and Sn-1.0Ag-0.7Cu-1.6Bi-0.2In) for solar combiner box module was compared. The solar combiner box module was composed of voltage and current detecting modules, diode modules, and other modules. In this study, solder paste printability, printing shape inspection, solder joint property, X-ray inspection, and shear force measurements were conducted. For optimization of Pb-free soldering process, step 1 and 2 were divided. In the step 1 process, the printability of Pb-containing and Pb-free solder alloys were estimated by using printing inspector. Then, the relationship between void percentages and shear force has been estimated. Overall, the property of Pb-containing solder was better than two Pb-free solders. In the step 2 process, the property of reflow soldering for the Pb-free solders was evaluated with different reflow peak temperatures. As the peak temperature of the reflow process gradually increased, the void percentage decreased by 2 to 4%, but the shear force did not significantly depend on the reflow peak temperature by a deviation of about 0.5 kgf. Among different surface finishes on PCB, ENIG surface finish was better than OSP and Pb-free solder surface finishes in terms of shear force. In the thermal shock reliability test of the solar combiner box module with a Pb-free solder and OSP surface finish, the change rate of electrical property of the module was almost unchanged within a 0.3% range and the module had a relatively good electrical property after 500 thermal shock cycles.

Ultrasonic soldering using of Si-wafer to FR-4 PCB atroom temperature was investigated. Sn3.5Ag foil rolled $100{\mu}m$ was used for solder. The UBM of Si-die was Cu/ Ni/ Al from top to bottom and its thickness was $0.4{\mu}m$, $0.4{\mu}m$, $0.3{\mu}m$ respectively. Pad on FR-4 PCB comprised of Au/ Ni/ Cu from top to bottom and its thickness was $0.05{\mu}m$, $5{\mu}m$, $18{\mu}m$ respectively. The ultrasonic soldering time was changed from 0.5sec to 3.0sec and its power 1400W. As experimental result, reliable bond joint by ultrasonic at room temperature was obtained. The shear strength increased with soldering time up to 2.5 sec. That means at 2.5sec, the shear strength showed maximum rate of 65.23N. The strength decreased to 33.90N at 3.0 sec because the cracks generated along the intermetallic compound between Si-wafer and Sn-3.5mass%Ag solder. intermetallic compound produced by ultrasonic between the solder and the Si-die was $(Cu, Ni)_{6}Sn_{5}$ and the intermetallic compound between solder and pad on FR-4 was $(Ni, Cu)_{3}Sn_{4}$.

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.

The behavior of brittle fracture of electroless nickel immersion gold (ENIG) /Sn-3.0wt.%Ag-0.5wt.%Cu (SAC305) solder joints was evaluated. The pH of the electroless nickel plating solution for ENIG surface treatment was changed from 4.0 to 5.5. As the pH of the Ni plating solution increased, pin hole in the Ni-P layer increased. The thickness of the interfacial intermetallic compound (IMC) of the solder joint increased with pH of Ni plating solution. The high speed shear strength of the SAC305 solder joint on ENIG surface finish decreased with the pH of the Ni plating solution. In addition, the brittle fracture rate of the solder joint was the highest when the pH of the Ni plating solution was 5.

기존의 전자산업에서는 Sn-37Pb 공정솔더를 사용하였으나, 최근 납의 환경적인 문제로 인하여 무연 솔더에 관한 연구와 적용이 세계적으로 진행되고 있다. 무연 솔더의 실용화와 관련하여 Sn-37Pb 솔더와 같은 만능의 솔더는 없지만, 그 중 도입이 가장 유력시 되는 것으로 Sn-Ag-Cu계 솔더가 있다. (중략)

The reliability of insert mounted components has been considered as their life time was getting increased. The spread of crack and the growth of IMC(intermetallic compound) were observed by SEM(scanning electron microscope) and EDS(energy dispersive spectroscope). The cracks in Sn-37wt%Pb under thermal shock test were found earlier than other solders(Sn-3.0wt%Ag-0.5wt%Cu and Sn-0.7wt%Cu-0.01wt%P). The IMC thickness was increased with increasing number of thermal shock cycles in the following order : Sn-0.7Cu-0.01P; Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu; Sn-37Pb

Three different kinds of substrate used in this study : bare Cu, electroless Ni/Cu substrate with a Nilayer thickness of $5\mu\textrm{m}$, immersion Au/electroless Ni/Cu substrate with the Au and Ni layer of $0.15\mu\textrm{m}$ and $5\mu\textrm{m}$ thickness, respectively. The wettability and interfacial tension between various substrate and Sn-3.5Ag solder were examined as a function of soldering temperature, types of flux. The wettability of Sn-3.5Ag solder increased with soldering temperature and solid content of flux. The wettability of Sn-3.5Ag solder was affected by the substrate metal finish used, i.e., nickel, gold and copper. Intermetallic compound formation between liquid solder and substrate reduced the interfacial energy and decreased wettability.
