Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has been used as a surface measurement instrument and a tool for lithography in semiconductor process due to its high density localized beam. For those purposes, however, the maximum current of SEM Is less than 100pA, which is not enough fo material processing. In this paper SEM was modified to increase the amount of current reaching a specimen from gun part where current is generated, the possibility of applying SEM to material processing, especially microjoining, was investigated. The maximum current of SEM after modifications was measured up to 10$\mu$A, which is about 10$^{5}$ times greater than before modifications. Through experiments such as eutectic solder wetting on thin 304 stainless steel foil and microjoining of 10$\mu$m thick 304 stainless steel, the intensity of electron beam of SEM proved to be great enough fur material processing as heat source. And a tight jig system was found necessary to hold materials close enough fur successful microloining.

Automotive today has been transforming to an electronic product by adopting a lot of convenience and safety features, suggesting that joining materials and their mechanical reliabilities are getting more important. In this study, a Sn-Cu-Cr-Ca solder composition having a high melting temperature ($>230^{\circ}C$) was fabricated and its joint properties and reliability was investigated with an aim to evaluate the suitability as a joining material for electronics of engine room. Furthermore, mechanical properties change under complex environment were compared with several existing solder compositions. As a result of contact angle measurement, favorable spreadability of 84% was shown and the average shear strength manufactured with corresponding composition solder paste was $1.9kg/mm^2$. Also, thermo-mechanical reliability by thermal shock and vibration test was compared with that of the representative high temperature solder materials such as Sn-3.5Ag, Sn-0.7Cu, and Sn-5.0Sb. In order to fabricate the test module, solder balls were made in joints with ENIG-finished BGA and then the BGA chip was reflowed on the OPS-finished PCB pattern. During the environmental tests, resistance change was continuously monitored and the joint strength was examined after tests. Sn-3.5Ag alloy exhibited the biggest degradation rate in resistance and shear stress and Sn-0.7Cu resulted in a relatively stable reliability against thermo-mechanical stress coming from thermal shock and vibration.

The trend of the microjoining technology by the laser-soldering process has been reviewed. Among the production technologies, joining technology plays an important role in the fabrication of electronic components. This has led to an increasing attention towards the use of modern microjoining technology such as micro-resistance spot joining, micro-soldering, micro-friction stir joining and laser-soldering, etc. This review covers the recent technical trends of laser-soldering collected from the COMPENDEX DB analysis of published papers, research subject and research institutes.

In this paper, we have studied the evolution of morphology and brazing behavior of Ag-28Cu alloy filler processed by high energy ball milling. The milling of the powder mixture was carried out for 40 h. The structural and morphological analyses were performed by the X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The melting temperature of the braze filler was determined by differential thermal analysis. The filler wetting properties were assessed from the spread area ratio measurements on various Ti substrates. The results indicate that the ball milling can effectively depress the filler melting point and enhance the brazeability. The milled powder mixture showed Ag(Cu) solid solution with a crystallite size of 174-68 nm after 40 h. It was shown that the high energy ball milling can be a potential method to develop low temperature brazing fillers for advanced microjoining applications.

Isotropic conductive adhesives (ICAs) have been used or considered as an interconnect material for radio frequency identification (RFID) inlays or other flip chip assemblies due to the advantages of having a low temperature and high-speed bonding. In this work, the curing properties of commercial ICAs for the RFID tag application and the signal transmission in conductive lines that contained the ICA joints were evaluated as a function of the degree of cure at 900 MHz frequency range. The ICAs showed adequate signal transmission only after the curing process passed over the critical time. It was also found that the insertion loss of signal was more dependent on the contact states of Ag fillers in the bondline in preference to the electrical resistance of the ICA itself.

무연솔더 재료를 자동차 전장품에 적용하기 위해서는 고온환경에 대한 내구성 및 진동 인자에 대한 영향을 고려해야한다. 특히, ELV(End of Life Vehicles) 지침이 개정됨에 따라 고온용 무연솔더 재료에 대한 재평가가 반드시 필요한 시점이다. 이에 대해 본연구에서는 현재 상용화 된 Pb-free솔더의 재료들 중 총 4종의 Solder을 선정하여 자동차 환경에 부합하는 진동조건하에서 시험해보았다. 그리고 미세조직의 특성, 접합부 형성시의 기계적 강도 및 접합부의 신뢰성을 평가하여 보았다. 각각의 조성에 대한 CHIP type과 QFP type의 실장부품을 준비하였으며, 각각의 조성별로 솔더 페이스트로 Daisy Chain PCB에 접합하여 조성에 따른 비교 데이터를 구축할 수 있었다. 리플로우 공정후 초기의 미세조직 및 전당강도, 저항값을 측정하여 진동시험에 따른 데이터와 비교하였다. 주파수는 10Hz~1,000Hz였으며, 진동가속도는 $29.4m/s^2$, 20시간의 랜덤진동이 적용되는 동안 챔버내의 온도는 상온으로 유지되었다. 진동시험과 이에 따른 저항측정을 통하여 진동 주파수와 시간에 따른 실장 부품이 받는 진동 영향과 실시간 저항값을 측정하였으며, 이때의 미세조직 비교를 통해 진동특성을 평가하였다. 진동 주파수에 따른 저항값의 변화가 있었으며, 진동전후 전단강도에도 영향을 주었다. QFP type에서는 SAC105가 진동에 가장 취약하였으며, CHIP type에서는 SACX0307이 진동에 가장 취약하였다.

The effect of high temperature-moisture on corrosion and mechanical properties for Sn-0.7Cu, Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu (SAC305) solders on flexible substrate was studied using Highly Accelerated Temperature/Humidity Stress Test (HAST) followed by three-point bending test. Both Sn-0.7Cu and SAC305 solders produced the internal $SnO_2$ oxides. Corrosion occurred between the solder and water film near flexible circuit board/copper component. For the SAC305 solder with Ag content, furthermore, octahedral corrosion products were formed near Ag3Sn. For the SAC305 and Sn-0.7Cu solders, the amount of internal oxide increased with the HAST time and the amount of internal oxides was mostly constant regardless of Ag content. The size of the internal oxide was larger for the Sn-0.7Cu solder. Despite of different size of the internal oxide, the fracture time during three-point bending test was not significantly changed. It was because the bending crack was always initiated from the three-point corner of the chip. However, the crack propagation depended on the oxides between the flexible circuit board and the Cu chip. The fracture time of the three-point bending test was dependent more on the crack initiation than on the crack propagation.
