A novel bumping material, which is composed of a resin and Sn3Ag0.5Cu (SAC305) solder power, has been developed for the maskless solder-on-pad technology of the fine-pitch flip-chip bonding. The functions of the resin are carrying solder powder and deoxidizing the oxide layer on the solder power for the bumping on the pad on the substrate. At the same time, it was designed to have minimal chemical reactions within the resin so that the cleaning process after the bumping on the pad can be achieved. With this material, the solder bump array was successfully formed with pitch of 150 ${\mu}m$ in one direction.

Recently, Pb-free solder ball technology, which is getting more significant in miniaturization of electronic equipment, and resolution of recent environmental problems, is necessary to be developed. A plastic-core solder ball is much promising in those considerations. Plastic-core solder balls have the tendency to replace the usual metal-core solder ball from low material cost and superior mechanical properties. The thermal effects, however, are important in manufacturing process, such as deposing micro-sized metal thin film on the spherical polymer surface. Furthermore plastic-core solder balls are easy to be broken due to CTE and elastic coefficient of material property from heat transfer. We propose technical computational investigations for the manufacturing design and the reliability of plastic-core solder ball from thermal stress analysis.

The bottom-leaded plastic(BLP) packages have attracted substantial attention since its appearance in the electronic industry. Since the solder materials have relatively low creep resistance and are susceptible to low cycle fatigue, the life of the solder joints under the thermal loading is a critical issue for the reliability The represent study established a finite element model for the analysis of the solder joint reliability under thermal cyclic loading. An elasto-plastic constitutive relation was adopted for solder materials in the modeling and analysis. A 28-pin BLP assembly is modeled to investigate the effects of various epoxy molding compound, leadframe materials on solder joint reliability. The fatigue life of solder joint is estimated by the modified Coffin-Hanson equation. The two coefficients in the equation are also determined. A new design for lead is also evaluated by using finite element analysis. Parametric studies have been conducted to investigate the dependence of solder joint fatigue life on various package materials.

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.

Pb의 환경오염 문제를 발생하지 않는 저농도 Pb 솔도합금을 개발하기 위하여, 새로운 Sn-5%Pb-1.5%Ag-x%In계 합금 조성을 설계하고, 이 합금의 융점, 젖음성, 상분석, 경도, 인장강도, 드로스성을 평가하여, Sn-37%Pb 솔더오 대체 가능성을 타진하였다. Sn-37%Pb 솔도 합금의 Pbdldhs 용출농도는 국제규제치인 3ppm보다 훨씬 적은 0.46ppm이었고, 환경문제를 유발하지 않는 것으로 확인되었다. 이 합금계의 융점은 $183-192^{\circ}C$이고, 응고온도범위도 $5^{\circ}C$내외로 매우 좁았다. 젖음성은 In의 첨가양에 따라 큰 차이가 거의 없었으며, Sn-375Pb와 비슷하였다. 융점 및 젖음성 측면에서 Sn-37%Pb와 대체 가능한 것으로 판단되었다. 경도는 Sn-37%Pb의 약 1.5배이고, 인장강도는 Sn-37%Pb의 것보다 높고, In의 첨가량에 따라 증가하였지만, 연신율은 감소하였다. In이 1% 첨가된 합금에서는 수지 상정 경계에 Ag3Sn과 Pb가 정출되고, 3% 이상에서는 $Ag_3Sn$과 $Ag_3In$ 및 Pb가 정출되었다. 드로스 생성속도는 Sn-37%Pb 합금이 Sn-5%Pb-1.5%Ag 합금보다 빠르고, In을 첨가할수록 느리고 2%의 In을 첨가한 합금은 180분에서도 거의 드로스가 발생하지 않았다.

Pb-free solder has recently been used in electronics in efforts to meet environmental regulations, and a number of Pb-free solder alloy choices beyond the near-eutectic SnAgCu solder are now available. With increased demand for thin and portable electronics, the high cost of alloys containing significant amounts of silver and their poor mechanical shock performance have spurred the development of low Ag SnAgCu solder, which provides improved mechanical performance at a reasonable cost. Although low Ag SnAgCu solder exhibits significantly higher fracture resistance under high-strain rates, little thermal fatigue data exist for this solder. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate thermal fatigue reliability of low Ag SnAgCu solder under variation of thermal stress in order to allow its implementation in electronic products with high reliability requirements. In this study, the reliability of Sn0.3Ag0.7Cu(SAC0307), a low Ag solder alloy, is discussed and compared with that of Sn3Ag0.5Cu(SAC305). Three sample types and six samples size are evaluated. Mechanical properties and microstructure of the solder joint are investigated under thermal shock cycles. It was observed that the mechanical strength of SAC0307 dropped slightly with thermal cycling relative to that of SAC305. This reveals that the failure mode of SAC0307 is different from that SAC305 under this critical condition.

Cu-cored Sn-Ag solder balls were fabricated by coating pure Sn and Ag on Cu balls. The melting behavior and the solderability of the BGA joint with the Ni/Au coated Cu pad were investigated and were compared with those of the commercial Sn-Ag and Sn-Ag-Cu balls. DSC analyses clarified the melting of Cu-cored solders to start at a rather low temperature, the eutectic temperature of Sn-Ag-Cu. It was ascribed to the diffusion of Cu and Ag into Sn plating during the heating process. After reflow soldering the microstructures of the solder and of the interfacial layer between the solder and the Cu pad were analyzed with SEM and EPMA. By EDX analysis, formation of a eutectic microstructure composing of $\beta$-Sn, Ag$_3$Sn, ad Cu$_{6}$Sn$_{5}$ phases was confirmed in the solder, and the η'-(Au, Co, Cu, Ni)$_{6}$Sn$_{5}$ reaction layer was found to form at the interface between the solder and the Cu pad. By conducting shear tests, it was found that the BGA joint using Cu-cored solder ball could prevent the degradation of joint strength during aging at 423K because of the slower growth me of η'-(Au, Co, Cu, Ni)$_{6}$Sn$_{5}$ reaction layer formed at the solder, pad interface. Furthermore, Cu-cored multi-component Sn-Ag-Bi balls were fabricated by sequentially coating the binary Sn-Ag and Sn-Bi solders on Cu balls. The reflow property of these solder balls was investigated. Melting of these solder balls was clarified to start at the almost same temperature as that of Sn-2Ag-0.75Cu-3Bi solder. A microstructure composing of (Sn), Ag$_3$Sn, Bi and Cu$_{6}$Sn$_{5}$ phases was found to form in the solder ball, and a reaction layer containing primarily η'-(Au, Co, Cu, Ni)$_{6}$Sn$_{5}$ was found at the interface with Ni/Au coated Cu pad after reflow soldering. By conducting shear test, it was found that the BGA joints using this Cu-core solder balls hardly degraded their joint shear strength during aging at 423K due to the slower growth rate of the η'-(Au, Cu, Ni)$_{6}$Sn$_{5}$ reaction layer at the solder/pad interface.he solder/pad interface.

첨단 전자기기에 사용되는 전자부품의 크기와 접속피치가 감소하면서 리플로우 공정 후 플럭스 잔사의 세정이 어려워짐에 따라 무세정 솔더 페이스트에 대한 요구가 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 SAC305 솔더분말과 에폭시 레진을 주성분으로 하는 경화성 플럭스를 혼합하여 제조한 에폭시 경화형 솔더 페이스트에 대하여 리플로우 공정성, 플럭스 잔사의 부식성, 솔더볼 및 보드레벨 BGA 패키지 솔더 접합부의 기계적 거동을 기존 로진계 솔더 페이스트와 비교하여 평가하였다. 에폭시 경화형 솔더 페이스트는 솔더 접합부 주변에 경화물 필렛을 형성한 것으로 보아 플럭싱 작용에 의해 솔더 접합부가 형성된 이후에 경화반응이 진행되는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 동판에 대한 젖음성 시험을 통해 기존상용 솔더 페이스트 정도의 납퍼짐성을 갖는 것을 알 수 있었다. 리플로우 후 동판에 대한 고온 고습 시험을 통해 에폭시 경화형 솔더 페이스트는 동판 부식을 전혀 발생시키지 않는 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 FT-IR 분석결과 에폭시 경화반응을 통해 단단히 고정된 결과로 생각되었다. 볼전단, 볼당김 및 다이전단 시험 결과, 솔더 접합부 주변에 형성된 경화물 필렛은 솔더 표면과 접착본딩을 형성하며, 다이전단강도를 15~40% 정도 향상시키는 것으로 보아 에폭시 경화형 솔더 페이스트는 플럭스 잔사 세정공정의 생략과 함께 솔더 접합부 보강효과를 통해 패키지 신뢰성 향상에도 기여할 수 있을 것으로 생각되었다.
