Sn-9Zn solder balls were bonded to Cu, ENIG (Electroless Nickel/Immersion Gold) and electrolytic Au/Ni pads, and the effect of aging on their joint reliability was investigated. The interfacial products were different from the general reaction layer formed in a Sn-base solder. The intermetallic compounds formed in the solder/Cu joint were $Cu_{5}Zn_{8}$ and $Cu_{6}Sn_{5}$. After aging treatment, voids formed irregularly at the bottom side of the solder because of Sn diffusion into the $Cu_{5}Zn_{8}$ IMC. In the case of the solder/ENIG joint, $AuZn_{3}$ IMCs were formed at the interface. In the case of the Au/Ni/Cu substrate, an $AuZn_{3}$ IMC layer formed at the interface due to the fast reaction between Au and Zn. In addition, the $AuZn_{3}$ IMC layer became detached from the interface after reflow. When the aging time was extended to 100 h, $Ni_{5}Zn_{21}$ IMC was observed on the Ni substrate.

본 연구에서는 Sn-0.7Cu-xZn 무연솔더와 OSP 표면처리 된 솔더접합부의 전단강도를 Zn 함유량에 따라 평가하였다. 다섯 종류의 Sn-0.7Cu-xZn (x=0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 wt.%) 솔더페이스트를 제작한 뒤, OSP(organic solderability preservative) 표면처리 한 PCB(printed circuit board) 기판의 전극에 리플로우 공정으로 180 um 직경의 솔더볼을 형성하였다. 전단강도는 두 가지 조건의 전단속도(0.01, 0.1 m/s)로 고속전단시험(high speed shear test)을 통해 측정하였고, 고속전단시험 시에 측정된 F-x(Force-distance) curve를 통해 파괴에너지(fracture energy)를 계산하였다, SEM(주사전자현미경, scanning electron microscopy)과 EDS(energy dispersive spectroscopy) 분석을 통하여 단면과 파단면을 관찰하였고, 금속간 화합물(intermetallic compound, IMC) 층을 분석하였다. Zn 함유량이 증가함에 따라 금속간 화합물 층의 두께는 감소하였고, Zn 함유량이 0.5 wt.%일 때 가장 높은 전단 강도(shear strength)를 나타내었다. 전체적으로 높은 전단속도 조건의 전단강도 값이 낮은 전단속도 조건의 전단강도보다 높았다.

표면처리에 따른 Sn-1.2Ag-0.7Cu-0.4In 솔더범프의 접합 강도 평가를 위하여 전단 속도 및 열처리 시간에 따른 볼 전단강도 시험을 실시하였다. 전반적으로, 전단속도가 증가함에 따라 전단강도는 증가하였지만 인성은 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 파괴모드 관찰 결과, 전단 속도가 증가함에 따라 파괴모드의 경우, ENIG(electroless nickel immersion gold) 처리는 취성파괴가 대부분 지배적으로 존재하였고, OSP(organic solderability preservative) 처리는 pad open이 주로 발생하였다. 또한, 500 mm/s의 고속전단시험에서는 열처리 시간이 증가함에 따라 표면처리별 전단강도와 인성 값 모두 감소하는 경향을 보였다. ENIG 표면처리가 OSP 표면처리 보다 좋은 접합강도 특성을 보이는 것은 솔더범프 계면의 금속간화합물의 물성 및 두께와 밀접한 연관이 있는 것으로 판단된다.

다양한 무연솔더합금 가운데 Sn-58Bi solder는 저융점이며 상대적으로 높은 인장강도를 갖고 있지만 취성적이라는 단점을 갖고 있다. 이러한 Sn-58Bi 솔더의 기계적 강도를 보완하기 위해 epoxy를 함유한 Sn-58Bi 솔더가 연구되어져왔다. 본 연구는 Sn-58Bi 솔더와 Sn-58Bi 에폭시 복합솔더를 이용하여 PCB 기판에 접합한 후, 시효처리에 따른 솔더/기판 계면 미세구조와 기계적 특성변화를 연구하였다. OSP 표면처리된 PCB 기판에 솔더볼을 형성 한 후 85, 95, 105, $115^{\circ}C$에서 100~1000 시간동안 시효처리하였으며, 기계적 특성평가로 저속전단시험을 진행하였다. 시효 처리 시간 및 온도의 증가에 따라 Cu6Sn5 금속간화합물층은 성장하였으며 Sn-58Bi 솔더 금속간화합물층이 Sn-58Bi 에폭시 복합솔더보다 두꺼웠다. 전단시험 결과, Sn-58Bi 에폭시 복합솔더가 Sn-58Bi 솔더보다 약 2배 높은 전단강도 값을 나타냈으며 시효시간이 증가할수록 전단강도 값은 감소하였다.

The bonding characteristics of MLCCs (multi layer ceramic capacitor, C1608) lead-free solder (SAC305) joints were evaluated through thermal shock test ($-40^{\circ}C{\sim}125^{\circ}C$, total 1,800 cycle). After the test, IMCs( intermetallic compounds) growth and cracks were verified, also shear strengths were measured for degradation of solder joints. In addition, The thermal stress distributions at solder joints were analyzed to compare the solder joints changes before and after according to thermal shock test by FEA (finite elements analysis). We considered the effects of IMCs growth at solder joints. As results, the bonding characteristics degradation was occurred according to initial crack, crack propagations and thermal stress concentration at solder-IMCs interface, when the IMCs grown to solder inside.

Due to environmental regulations (RoHS, WEEE and ELV) of the European Union, electronics and automotive electronics have to eliminate toxic substance from electronic devices and system. Specifically, reliability issue of lead-free solder joint have an increasing demand for the car electronics caused by ELV banning. The authors prepared engine control unit and cabin electronics soldered with Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu (SAC305). To compare with the degradation characteristics of solder joint strength, thermal cycling test (TC), power-thermal cycling test (PTC) and series tests were conducted. Series tests were conducted for TC and PTC combined stress test using the same sample in sequence and continuously. TC test was performed at $-40{\sim}125^{\circ}C$ and soak time 10 min for 1000 cycles. PTC test was applied by pulse power and full function conditions during 100 cycles. Combined stress test was tested in accordance with automotive company standard. Solder joint degradation was observed by optical microscopy and environment scanning electron microscopy (ESEM). In addition, to compare with deterioration of bond strength of quad flat package (QFP) and chip components, we have measured lead pull and shear strength. Based on the series test results, consequently, we have validated of series test method for lifetime and reliability of Pb-free solder joint in automotive electronics.

The effects of printed circuit board electroless nickel immersion gold (ENIG) and organic solderability preservative (OSP) surface finishes on the electromigration reliability and shear strength of Sn-3.5Ag Pb-free solder bump were systematically investigated. In-situ annealing tests were performed in a scanning electron microscope chamber at 130, 150, and $170^{\circ}C$ in order to investigate the growth kinetics of intermetallic compound (IMC). Electromigration lifetime and failure modes were investigated at $150^{\circ}C$ and $1.5{\times}10^5A/cm^2$, while ball shear tests and failure mode analysis were conducted under the high-speed conditions from 10 mm/s to 3000 mm/s. The activation energy of ENIG and OSP surface finishes during annealing were evaluated as 0.84 eV and 0.94 eV, respectively. The solder bumps with ENIG surface finish showed longer electromigration lifetime than OSP surface finish. Shear strengths between ENIG and OSP were similar, and the shear energies decreased with increasing shear speed. Failure analysis showed that electrical and mechanical reliabilities were very closely related to the interfacial IMC stabilities.

The long-term reliability of Sn-0.3wt%Ag-0.7wt%Cu solder joints was evaluated and compared with Sn-3.0wt%Ag-0.5wt%Cu under thermal shock conditions. Test vehicles were prepared to use Sn-0.3Ag-0.7Cu and Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder alloys. To compare the shear strength of the solder joints, 0603, 1005, 1608, 2012, 3216 and 4232 multi-layer ceramic chip capacitors were used. A reflow soldering process was utilized in the preparation of the test vehicles involving a FR-4 material-based printed circuit board (PCB). To compare the shear strength degradation following the thermal shock cycles, a thermal shock test was conducted up to 2,000 cycles at temperatures ranging from $-40^{\circ}C$ to $85^{\circ}C$, with a dwell time of 30 min at each temperature. The shear strength of the solder joints of the chip capacitors was measured at every 500 cycles in each case. The intermetallic compounds (IMCs) of the solder joint interfaces werealso analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The results showed that the reliability of Sn-0.3Ag-0.7Cu solder joints was very close to that of Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu. Consequently, it was confirmed that Sn-0.3Ag-0.7Cu solder alloy with a low silver content can be replaced with Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu.

This study was focused on the evaluation of the thermo-mechanical board-level reliability of Pb-bearing and Pb-free surface mount assemblies. The composition of Pb-bearing solder was a typical Sn-37Pb and that of Pb-free solder used in this study was a representative Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu in mass %. Thermal shock test was chosen for the reliability evaluation of the solder joints. Typical $Cu_6Sn_5$ intermetallic compound (IMC) layer was formed between both solders and Cu lead frame at the as-reflowed state, while a layer of $Cu_3Sn$ was additionally formed between the $Cu_6Sn_5$ and Cu lead frame during the thermal shock testing. Thickness of the IMC layers increased with increasing thermal shock cycles, and this is very similar result with that of isothermal aging study of solder joints. Shear test of the multi layer ceramic capacitor(MLCC) joints was also performed to investigate the degradation of mechanical bonding strength of solder joints during the thermal shock testing. Failure mode of the joints after shear testing revealed that the degradation was mainly due to the excessive growth of the IMC layers during the thermal shock testing.

휴대폰 및 휴대기기의 낙하 충격에 대한 관심이 증가되고 있는 상황에서 솔더 볼 접합부의 낙하 충격특성은 패드의 종류와 리플로우 횟수에 영향을 받게 되어 이에 따른 신뢰성 평가가 요구된다. 이와 관련한 평 가법으로 일반적으로는 JEDEC에서 제정한 낙하충격 시험법을 사용하고 있으나 이 방법은 고 비용과 장시간이 소모되는 문제가 있어 본 연구에서는 낙하충격 특성을 간접적으로 평가하는 시험항목인 고속 전단시험을 실시하여 리플로우 횟수에 의해 성장하는 금속간 화합물 층과 OSP(Organic Solderability Preservative), ENIG(Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold) 및 ENEPIG(Electroless Nickel Electroless Palladium Immersion Gold) 등 표면처리에 따른 고속 전단특성을 비교, 분석하였다. 그 결과 리플로우 횟수가 증가함에 따라 IMC 층의 성장으로 고속 전단강도와 충격 에너지 값은 점차 감소하였다. 리플로우 횟수가 1회일 때는 ENEPIG, ENIG, OSP 순으로 고속 전단강도와 충격 에너지 값이 높았고 8회일 때는 ENEPIG, OSP, ENIG 순으로 충격 에너지 값이 높게 측정되었다.
