We investigated interconnection processes using Cu vias for MEMS sensor packages. Ag paste layer was formed on a glass substrate and used as a seed layer for electrodeposition of Cu vias after bonding a Si substrate with through-via holes. With applying electrodeposition current densities of $20mA/cm^2\;and\;30mA/cm^2$ at direct current mode to the Ag paste seed-layer, Cu vias of $200{\mu}m$ diameter and $350{\mu}m$ depth were formed successfully without electrodeposition defects. Interconnection processes for MEMS sensor packages could be accomplished with Ti/Cu/Ti line formation, Au pad electrodeposition, Sn solder electrodeposition and reflow process on the Si substrate where Cu vias were formed by Cu electrodeposition into through-via holes.

In this study, after transferring graphene on a Cu substrate and printing a Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu Pb-free solder paste on the Cu substrate, effects of the transferred graphene on formations and growths of intermetallic compound (IMC) at the interface between the Cu substrate and the solder were reported during processes of reflow soldering and isothermal aging for 1000 h with various temperatures (125, 150, and 175 ℃). Thicknesses of Cu₆Sn₅ and Cu₃Sn IMCs at the interfaces with graphene were decreased during the reflow soldering and isothermal aging processes compared to those without graphene. The transferred graphene layers also showed that the growth rate constant and square of growth rate constant which related to the growth mechanisms of Cu₆Sn₅ and Cu₃Sn IMCs with t he t emperature a nd t ime of t he i sothermal aging c ould dramatically decreased.

In this study, interfacial properties and mechanical properties of joints were reported after Cu pads finished with organic solderability preservative (OSP) on flame retardant-4 (FR-4) printed circuit board (PCB) and electronic components were joined with a Sn-57Bi-1Ag solder paste by using a laser bonding process. The laser bonding process was performed under various bonding conditions with changing a laser power and a bonding time and effects of bonding conditions on interfacial and mechanical properties of joints were analyzed. In order to apply for industry, properties of bonding joints using a reflow bonding process which are widely used were compared. When the laser bonding process were performed, we observed that Cu₆Sn₅ intermetallic compounds (IMCs) were fully formed at the interface although the bonding times were very short about 2 and 3 s. Furthermore, void formations of the joints by using the laser bonding process were suppressed at the joints with comparing to the reflow bonding process and shear strengths of bonding joints were higher than that by using the reflow bonding process. Therefore, in spite of a very short bonding time, it is expected that joints will be stably formed and have a high mechanical strength by using the laser bonding process.

Recently, the micro bonding technology comes into the spotlight as the miniaturization of the electronic product. The micro bonding technique can classify by way of laser welding and ultrasonic bonding and etc. However, the research on the micro bonding is much lacks. In this paper, carried out the cooling analysis of the 60 [kHz] ultrasonic bonding equipment to know heat effect of the piezoelectric element when the ultrasonic bonding equipment was operated. The ultrasonic horn having the natural frequency with 60 [kHz] for the dissimilar material bonding of the glass and solder tried to be designed. The parameters and response was set through the basic experiment. The dissimilar material bonding strength analysis using the 60 [kHz] ultrasonic bonding equipment was done. We carried out the bonding for improving bonding strength to using the silver paste. air thightness of bonding surface was confirmed by analysis of bonding interfaces.

Properties of Ag thick films fabricated by using low temperature curable silver pastes were investigated. Ag pastes were consisted of polymer resins and silver powders. Ag pastes were used for conductive or fixing materials between board and various electrical and electronic devices. Low temperature curable Ag pastes have some advantages over high temperature curable types. In cases of chip mounting, soldering properties were required for screen printed Ag thick films. In this study, four types of Ag pastes were fabricated with different compositions. Screen printed Ag thick films on alumina substrates were fabricated at various curing temperatures and times. Thickness, resistivity, adhesive strength and solderability of fabricated Ag thick films were characterized. Finally, Ag thick films produced using Ag pastes, sample A and B, cured at $150^{\circ}C$ for longer than 6 h and $180^{\circ}C$ for longer than 2 h, and $150^{\circ}C$ for longer than 1 h and $180^{\circ}C$ for 1 h, respectively, showed low resistivities of $10^{-4}$ $∼10^{-5}$ Ωcm and good adhesive strength of 1∼5 Mpa. Soldering properties of those Ag thick films with curing temperatures at solder of 62Sn/36Pb/3Ag were also investigated.

Glass base sealant is required as a ceramic-ceramic joining material between α-alumina insulation cap and β-alumina electrolyte tube in the development of NaS battery cell package for electrical energy storage system. The fabrication of glass frit by thermal quenching method, phase analysis, particle size analysis, coefficient of thermal expansion and surface roughness according to the glass compositions were analyzed for the fabrication of glass sealing paste for ceramic-ceramic joining. Also, a new evaluation method of the adhesion strength of glass sealant at the small area in ceramic-ceramic joining component was proposed using conventional Dage bond tester that was used to measure the adhesion of solder ball joint.
