A soldering process with longitudinal ultrasonic is conducted in this work using the Au bump and substrate. Localized heating of the solder is achieved and the stirring action due to the ultrasonic is found to influence the bond strength and microstructure of the eutectic solder The acceptable bonding condition is determined from the tensile strength. Since the multiple bonds can be formed simultaneously with localized heating, the proposed ultrasonic soldering method appears to be applicable to the high-density electronic package.

An efficient soldering process using the longitudinal ultrasonic vibration is introduced in this work for electronic packaging. The effects of the process parameters such as the ultrasonic frequency, amplitude, dimension of the metal bump and solder are analyzed through a viscoelastic lumped model. The viscoelastic properties of the eutectic solder were measured for calculation and evaluation of heat generation capability of the solder. Experiments were conducted to verify the possibility of the proposed ultrasonic soldering method by inserting the Cu and Au bumps into the solder block. Localized heating due to ultrasonic vibration melts the solder near the metal bump, which demonstrates the applicability of the ultrasonic soldering method to the high-density electronic packaging.

The longitudinal thermosonic bonding method is investigated in this work for its application to the soldering process for electronic packaging. The effect of the ultrasonic is analyzed through lumped modeling, and the material properties of a viscoelastic model are measured experimentally. The thermosonic bonding method is verified by inserting the Cu pin and Au bump into solder block. As the solder thickness decreases, temperature of the solder is calculated to increase rapidly because of larger strain. Localized heating due to ultrasonic vibration is observed to melt the solder near the pin, which is adequate to the high density electronic package and Pb-free solder having high melting temperature.

Solder bumps have been used to interconnect the chip and substrate, and the size of the solder bump decreases below $100{\mu}m$ to accommodate higher packaging density. In order to fabricate solder bumps, a mold to chip transfer process is suggested in this work. Since the thin stainless steel mold is not wet by the solder, the molten solder is forced to fill the mold cavities with ultrasonic vibration. The solders within the mold cavities are transferred to the Cu pads on the polyimide film through reflow soldering.

This study presents a comprehensive procedure for the low cycle fatigue test of ultrasonically welded (UW) coated conductor (CC) lap-joints. The entire process is examined in detail, from the robust fabrication of the UW REBCO CC joints to the reliability testing under a low number of repeated cycle fatigue conditions. A continuous I_c measurement system enables real-time monitoring of I_c variations throughout the fatigue tests. The study aims to provide a step-by-step procedure that involves joint fabrication, electromechanical property (EMP) tests under uniaxial tension for stress level determination, and subsequent low-cycle fatigue tests. The joints are fabricated using a hybrid method that combines UW with adding In-Sn soldering, achieving a flux-free hybrid welding approach (UW-HW flux-free). The selected conditions for the low cycle fatigue tests include a stress ratio of R=0.1 and a frequency of 0.02 Hz. The results reveal some insights into the fatigue behavior, irreversible changes, and cumulative damage in the CC joints.
