In this paper, the creep characteristics of lead and lead-free solder joint were investigated using the QFP(Quad Flat Package) creep test. Two kind of solder pastes(Sn-3Ag-0.5Cu, Sn-0.2Sb-0.4Ag-37.4Pb) were applied to the QFP solder joints and each specimen was checked the external and internal failures(i.e., wetting failure, void, pin hole, poor-heel fillet) by digital microscope and X-ray inspection. The creep test was conducted at the temperatures of $100^{\circ}C$ and $130^{\circ}C$ under the load of 15$\sim$20% of average pull strength in solder joints. The creep characteristics of each solder joints were compared using the creep strain-time curve and creep strain rate-stress curves. Through the comparison, the Sn-3Ag-0.5Cu solder joints have higher creep resistance than that of Sn-0.3Sb-0.4Ag-37.4Pb. Also, the grain boundary sliding in the fracture surface and the necking of solder joint were observed by FE-SEM.

Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu lead fee solder was generally utilized in electronics assemblies. But it is insufficient to research about activation energy(Q) that is applying to evaluate the solder joint reliability of environmental friendly electronics assemblies. Therefore this study investigated Q values which are needed to IMC formation and growth of Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu/Cu and Sn-40pb/Cu solder joints during aging treatment. We bonded Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu and Sn-40Pb solders on FR-4 PCB with Cu pad$(t=80{\mu}m)$. After reflow soldering, to observe the IMC formation and growth of the solder joints, test specimens were aged at 70, 150 and $170^{\circ}C$ for 1, 2, 5, 20, 60, 240, 960, 15840, 28800 and 43200 min, respectively. SEM and EDS were utilized to analysis the IMCS. From these results, we measured the total IMC$(Cu_6Sn_5+Cu_3Sn)$ thickness of Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu/Cu and Sn-40Pb/Cu interface, and then obtained Q values for the IMC$(Cu_6Sn_5,\;Cu_3Sn)$ growth of the solder joints.

Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu 무연솔더에서 Ag 함량의 감소는 기계적 충격 신뢰성 향상에 도움이 되는 반면 솔더링성을 저하시키는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 저 Ag함유 무연솔더의 솔더링성 향상을 위해 In을 첨가한 Sn-1.2Ag-0.7Cu-0.4In 4원계 조성과 여기에 미량의 Mn 및 Pd을 첨가한 무연솔더 조성에 대하여 솔더 젖음성을 평가하고, 보드 레벨 BGA 패키지의 열싸이클링 및 기계적 충격 신뢰성을 평가하였다. Sn-1.2Ag-0.7Cu 조성에 0.4 wt% In을 첨가한 합금의 젖음성은 Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu에 근접한 수준으로 향상되었으나, 패키지의 열싸이클링 신뢰성은 Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu에 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. Sn-1.2Ag-0.7Cu-0.4In 조성에 0.03 wt% Pd의 첨가는 솔더 젖음성 및 패키지 신뢰성을 저하시킨 반면에 0.1 wt% Mn을 첨가한 합금은 특히 기계적 충격 신뢰성이 Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu는 물론 Sn-1.0Ag-0.5Cu보다도 우수한 수준으로 향상되었는데, 이는 Mn 첨가가 합금의 모듈러스를 감소시킨 데에 기인하는 것으로 생각된다.

PCB와 BGA 패드의 형태가 무연솔더 접합부의 기계적 특성에 미치는 영향을 연구하었다. 현재 BGA/PCB 패드의 형태는 NSMD (Non-Solder Mask Defined)와 SMD (Solder Mask Defined) 두 가지 구조로 형성되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 OSP 도금처리한 무연솔더(Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu, Sn-1.2Ag-0.5Cu)의 패드 형태를 NSMD, SMD로 달리하여 낙하충격시험, 굽힘충격시험, 고속전단시험을 통한 솔더 접합부의 기계적 특성을 연구하였다. 낙하충격과 굽힘충격시험의 경우 패드 구조에 따른 솔더볼 접합부의 특성수명은 동일한 경향을 나타내었으며, 솔더접합부의 기계적 특성은 SMD가 NSMD보다 우수하였다. 이 이유는 SMD의 경우 낙하충격 시험과 고속 전단시험 모두 IMC에서 파단이 일어난 반면에 NSMD의 경우 낙하충격 시험 후의 파단면은 패턴을 감싸고 있는 랜드 상단 모서리 부분에서 파단이 일어났기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 전단시험의 경우에는 NSMD 접합부에서 패드 lift현상이 발생하였다. 따라서 BGA/PCB의 패드구조의 조합은 SMD/SMD > SMD/NSMD > NSMD/SMD > NSMD/NSMD 순으로 기계적 특성 수명이 우수하였다.

Sn-3.5g 무연합금을 Cu 및 Alloy42 리드프레임에 납땜접합 (solder joint)하고 미세조직, 젖음성, 전단강도, 시효 효과를 측정하여 비교하였다. Cu의 경우, 땜납의 Sn기지상안에 Ag(sub)3Sn과 Cu(sub)6Sn(sub)5상이, 그리고 땜납/리드프레임의 경계면에는 $1~2\mu\textrm{m}$ 두께의 Cu(sub)6Sn(sub)5 상이 형성되었다. Alloy42의 경우, 기지상내에 낮은 밀도의 $Ag_3Sn$상만이, 그리고 계면에는 $0.5~1.5\mu\textrm{m}$ 두께의 $FeSn_2$이 형성되었다. 한편, Cu에 비해 Alloy42 리드프레임에서 퍼짐면적은 크고 접촉각은 작아 더 우수한 젖음성을 나타내었으나, 전단강도는 35%, 연산율은 75%로 낮았다. $180^{\circ}C$에서 1주일간 시효처리 후, Cu 리드프레임에는 계면 $\eta-Cu_6Sn_5$ 층외에 $\xi-Cu_3Sn$층이 성장하였고, Alloy42 리드프레임에는 기지상내에 $Ag_3Sn$이 구형으로 조대하게 성장하였고, 계면에는$FeSn_2$층만이 약 $1.5\mu\textrm{m}$로 성장하였다.

The repeated-bending properties of Sn-0.7Cu, Sn-0.3Ag-0.7Cu (SAC0307), and Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu (SAC305) solders mounted on flexible substrates were studied using highly accelerated stress testing (HAST), followed by repeated-bending testing. In the Sn-0.7Cu joints, the $Cu_6Sn_5$ intermetallic compound (IMC) coarsened as the HAST time increased. For the SAC0307 and SAC305 joints, the $Ag_3Sn$ and $Cu_6Sn_5$ IMCs coarsened mainly along the grain boundary as the HAST time increased. The Sn-0.7Cu solder had a high contact angle, compared to the SAC0307 and SAC305 solders; consequently, the SAC0307 and SAC305 solder joints displayed smoother fillet shapes than the Sn-0.7Cu solder joint. The repeated-bending for the Sn-0.7Cu solder produced the crack initiated from the interface between the Cu lead wire and the solder, and that for the SAC solders indicated the cracks initiated at the surface, but away from the interface between the Cu lead wire and the solder. Furthermore, the oxide layer was thickest for Sn-0.7Cu and thinnest for SAC305, regardless of the HAST time. For the SAC solders, the crack initiation rate increased as the oxide layer thickened and roughened. $Cu_6Sn_5$ precipitated and grew along the grain and subgrain boundaries as the HAST time increased, embrittling the grain boundary at the crack propagation site.

본 연구에서는 무전해 니켈 도금액 pH 변화에 따른 electroless nickel immersion gold (ENIG)/Sn-3.0wt.%Ag-0.5wt.%Cu(SAC305) 솔더 접합부 취성 파괴 거동에 대하여 평가하였다. ENIG 표면처리를 위한 무전해 니켈 도금액의 pH는 4.0에서 5.5로 변화 시켰다. 무전해 니켈 도금 후 Ni-P 표면 관찰 결과, 도금액의 pH가 낮아질수록 Ni-P 층 nodule 표면에 핀홀이 증가하였다. 솔더링 후 접합부 계면에서는 (Cu,Ni)6Sn5 금속간화합물이 형성되었으며, 무전해 니켈 도금액의 pH가 증가할수록 솔더접합부의 계면 금속간화합물의 두께는 증가하였다. 고속전단 시험을 통하여 ENIG/SAC305 솔더 접합부의 취성파괴 거동을 확인하였으며, 무전해 니켈 도금액의 pH가 증가할수록 솔더접합부의 전단강도는 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 또한, 솔더 접합부의 취성 파괴율은 pH가 5일 때 가장 높은 값을 보였다.

In this study, the numerical prediction of the thermal fatigue lie? of a $\mu$BGA (Micro Ball Grid Array) solder joint was focused. Numerical method was performed using the three-dimensional finite element analysis for various solder alloys such as Sn-37%Pb, Sn-3.5%Ag, Sn-3.5%Ag-0.7%Cu and Sn-3.5%Ag-3%In-0.5%Bi during a given thermal cycling. Strain values obtained by the result of mechanical fatigue tests for solder alloys, were used to predict the solder joint fatigue life using the Coffin-Manson equation. The numerical results showed that Sn-3.5%Ag with the 50-degree ball shape geometry had the longest thermal fatigue life in low cycle fatigue. A practical correlation for the prediction of the thermal fatigue life was also suggested by using the dimensionless variable γ. Additionally Sn-3.5Ag-0.75Cu and Sn-2.0Ag-0.5Cu-2.0Bi were applied to 6$\times$8$\mu$BGA obtained from the 63Sn-37Pb Solder. This 6$\times$8$\mu$BGA were tested at different aging conditions at 130$\^{C}$, 150$\^{C}$, 170$\^{C}$ for 300, 600 and 900 hours. Thickness of the intermetallic compound layer was measured thor each condition and the activation energy thor their growth was computed. The fracture surfaces were analyzed using SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) with EDS ( Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy).

Solderability, interfacial reaction and mechanical properties of joint between Sn-Bi-Ag base solder and Cu-substrate were studied. Solders were subjected to aging treatments to see the change of mechanical properties for up to 30 days at $100^{\circ}C$, and then also examined the changes of microstructure and morphology of interfacial compound. Sn-Bi-Ag base solder showed about double tensile strength comparing to Pb-Sn eutectic solder. Addition of 0.7wt%Al in the Sn-Bi-Ag alloy increase spread area on Cu substrate under R-flux and helps to reduce the growth of intermetallic compound during heat-treatment. According to the aging experiments of Cu/solder joint, interfacial intermetallic compound layer was exhibited a parabolic growth to aging time. The result of EDS, it is supposed that the soldered interfacial zone was composed of $Cu_6Sn_5$.
