Recently as environmental pollution caused by Pb has posed a serious threat to the global environment, the trend to regulate the usage of Pb in electronic industry is one the rise. Currently, the solder alloy with high Pb content, Sn-37%Pb, is utilized in the electronic assembly therefore, the objective of this study is to develop an alternative solder alloy for the existing Sn-37%Pb solder alloy. First thing, this work choosed Sn-5%Pb-1.5%Ag, Sn-5%Pb-1.5%Ag-x%Bi(x=1~5%) for candidate solder alloys, and examined their properties such as melting range, wettability, microhardness, tensile property, oxidation behavior and microstructure. Wettability was on the same level of Sn-37%Pb. Dissolution of Pb ion in Sn-5%Pb solder was 0.46ppm. This solder alloy revealed cellular dendrite microstructure $\beta$-Sn matrix, Pb-rich phase, Ag/Sn, and Cu/Sn Intermetallic compounds. The range of solidification temperature was within 3$0^{\circ}C$. Also these alloy displayed higher tensile strength and lower elongation than Sn-37%Pb. The resistance of oxidation in Sn-5%Pb-1.5%Ag solder alloy was superior to that of Sn-37%Pb solder alloy. But that of Sn-5%Pb-1.5%Ag-5%Bi solder alloy was equal to that of Sn-37%Pb solder alloy.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the tensile strength of solder joint between gold alloy and nickel-chromium alloy. The specimens were made with type III gold alloys and Ni-Cr-Be alloy and Degular Lot 2 solder. Eighteen paired specimens were made, and subdivided into three groups. Group I specimens were gold alloy-gold alloy combination, Group II specimens were gold alloy-Ni-Cr alloy combination, Group III specimens were Ni-Cr alloy-Ni-Cr alloy combination. Solder block were made with solder investment(Degussa A,G, Germany) and stored in room temperature for 24 hours. To reduce the formation of metallic oxide and increase wetting properties, flux was used before preheating and soldering procedure. The specimens were preheated at $650^{\circ}C$ and flux were applied again and gas-oxygen torch was used to solder the specimen. All soldered specimens were subjected to a tensile force in the Instron universal testing machine : the crosshead speed was 1 mm/mim. Tensile strength values of three soldered joint groups were 1. Gold alloy-Gold alloy solder joint : $$48.8kg/mm^2$$ 2. Gold alloy-Ni-Cr alloy solder joint : $$30.9kg/mm^2$$ 3. Ni-Cr alloy-Ni-Cr alloy solder joint : $$31.8kg/mm^2$$ The microscopic examination of fracture site showed cohesive and combination fracture modes in gold alloy specimens, but showed all adhesive fracture modes in Ni-Cr alloy containing specimens.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the solder properties by the change of P mass percentage. Tension test, wetting balance test, spread test, and analysis of intermetallic compound after isothermal aging of Sn-2.5Ag-0.7Cu-0.005P, Sn-2.5Ag-0.7Cu-0.01P, Sn-2.5Ag-0.7Cu-0.02P, Sn-0.7Cu-0.005P were performed. Adding P in the solder alloys resulted in improvement of tensile strength, reduction of intermetallic compound growth, reduction of oxidization in fusible solders under wave soldering. After comparing solder alloy containing P with tin-lead eutectic solder alloy, P contained solders alloys showed much better solder properties than eutectic solder alloy. Furthermore, this solder alloy presented remarkable properties than any other lead-free solder alloy.

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.

Sn-Cu-Ni계 솔더 합금에 소량의 Bi와 In을 첨가하여 새로운 무연솔더 합금 개발을 진행하였다. Sn-0.7%(Cu+Ni)에 2~5% Bi. 2~10% In을 첨가하여 각각의 열적, 전기적, 기계적 특성을 평가하였다. 솔더합금의 융점은 200~$222^{\circ}C$, 응고온도범위는 20~$37^{\circ}C$로 중.고온계 솔더로서 적용이 가능하다. 실험 조성별 솔더 합금중 실용적, 경제적인 면을 고려하여 Sn-0.7%(Cu+Ni)-3.5%Bi-2%In이 최적의 합금 조성으로 판단된다. 이 합금은 융점이 $220^{\circ}C$정도이며 응고범위는 $25^{\circ}C$, 강도 면에서는 타 합금에 비해 상당히 우수한 값을 나타내었으며 연신율은 비교적 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 다른 기계적, 전기적 특성은 타 솔더 합금과 유사하거나 우수한 편이었으며 젖음특성도 양호하였다.

The surface oxidation mechanism of lead-free solder alloys has been investigated with multiple reflow using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was found that the solder surface of Sn-Ag-Cu-In solder alloy is surrounded by a thin $InO_x$ layer after reflow process; this coating protects the metallic surface from thermal oxidation. Based on this result, we have performed a wetting balance test at various temperatures. The Sn-Ag-Cu-In solder alloy shows characteristics of both thermal oxidation and wetting balance better than those of Sn-Ag-Cu solder alloy. Therefore, Sn-Ag-Cu-In solder alloy is a good candidate to solve the two problems of easy oxidation and low wettability, which are the most critical problems of Pb-free solders.

In this study, shear punch-creep (SP-Creep) at Sn-4Ag/Cu pad the joint was tested by using environment-friendly Pb-free solder alloy Sn-4Ag of electronic components. Pb eutectic alloy (Sn-37Pb) joints limited to environmental issues with reflow time (10sec, 30sec, 100sec, 300sec) according to two types of solder alloy joints are compared and evaluated by creep strain rate, rupture time and IMC (Intermetallic Compound) behavior. As the results, reflow time increases with increasing thickness of IMC can be seen at overall 100sec later in case of two solder joints on the IMC thickness of Sn-4Ag solder joints thicker than Sn-37Pb solder joints. In addition, when considering creep evaluation factors, lead-free solder alloy Sn-4Ag has excellent creep resistance more than Pb eutectic alloy. For this reason, the two solder joints, such as in the IMC (Cu6Sn5) was formed. However, the creep resistance of Sn-4Ag solder joints was largely increased in the precipitation strengthening effect of dispersed Ag3Sn with interface more than Sn-37Pb solder joints.

본 연구에서는 Au 와 Sn을 rf-magnetron sputter를 이용하여 다층막(multilayer)과 동시증착(Co-sputter)방법으로 스퍼터링하여 기판위에 AuSn 솔더를 형성하였고, 솔더의 조성제어와 특성 분석을 통해 Sn rich AuSn 솔더의 형성 기술에 대하여 연구하였다. AuSn 솔더를 형성하기 앞서 Au와 Sn에 대하여 단일 금속 증착을 하였다. 이를 토대로 AuSn솔더를 증착하기 위한 실험 조건을 확보하였다. 증착변수로는 기판의 온도, rf 전력과 두께 비를 이용하였다. 다층막의 경우, 고온의 기판에서 솔더 합금의 표면거칠기와 조성이 보다 정확하게 제어되었다. 이에 비해 동시증착 솔더는 기판의 온도에 의한 조성의 변화가 거의 없었으나, rf전력에 의해서 조성이 보다 쉽게 제어할 수 있었다. 여기에 더해, 동시 증착 솔더 박막의 대부분은 증착동안에 금속간 화합물로 변화한 것을 알 수 있었다. 화합물의 종류는 XRD로 분석하였다. 형성된 솔더 박막을 플럭스를 이용하지 않고 리드프레임에 접합하여 접합강도를 측정하였다. 다층형의 경우 Au 10wt%의 조건에서 최대 $33(N/mm^2)$ 전단응력을 나타내었으며, 동시증착형은 Au 5wt%에서 $460(N/mm^2)$ 전단응력을 나타내었다.

Sn-3.5Ag 무연합금을 Cu 및 Alloy42 리드프레임에 납땜접합(solder joint)하고 미세조직, 젖 음성, 전단강도, 시효효과를 측정하여 비교하였다. CU의 경우, 납땜의 Sn기지상안에 Ag$_3$Sn$_{5}$상이, 그리고 땜납/리드프레임의 경계면에는 1~2$\mu\textrm{m}$ 두께의 Cu$_{6}$Sn$_{5}$상이 형성되었다. Alloy42의 경우, 기지상내에는 낮은 밀도의 Ag$_3$Sn상만이, 그리고 계면에는 0.5~1.5$\mu\textrm{m}$ 두께의 FeSn$_2$이 형성되었다. 한편. Cu에 비해 Alloy42 리드프레임에서 전단강도는 낮았으며, 시효 시간에 따라 전단강도는 모두 감소하였다. 18$0^{\circ}C$에서 1주일간 시효처리 후, Cu 리드프레임에는 계면에 η-Cu$_{6}$Sn$_{5}$ 층이 15-20$\mu\textrm{m}$ 성장하였고, A11oy42 리드프레임에는 기지상내에 AgSn$_3$이 조대하게 성장하였으며, 계면에는 FeSn$_2$층만이 약 $1.5\mu\textrm{m}$로 성장하였다.성장하였다.

This paper reviews our recent research works on the interconnection technologies in electronic packaging and assembly. At the aspect of advanced joining methods, laser-ultrasonic fluxless soldering technology was proposed. The characteristic of this technology is that the oxide film was removed through the vibration excitated by high frequency laser change in the molten solder droplet. Application researches of laser soldering technology on solder bumping of BGA packages were carried out. Furthermore, interfacial reaction between SnPb eutectic solder and Au/Ni/Cu pad during laser reflow was analyzed. At the aspect of soldered joints' reliability, the system for predicting and analyzing SMT solder joint shape and reliability(PSAR) has been designed. Optimization design method of soldered joints' structure was brought forward after the investigation of fatigue failure of RC chip devices and BGA packages under temperature cyclic conditions with FEM analysis and experimental study. At the aspect of solder alloy design, alloy design method based on quantum was proposed. The macroproperties such as melting point, wettability and strength were described by the electron parameters. In this way, a great deal of the experimental investigations was replaced, so as to realize the design and research of any kinds of solder alloys with low cost and high efficiency.
