The brazing adhesion properties of Ag coated W-Ag electric contact on the Cu substrate have been investigated in therms of microstructure, phase equilibrium and adhesion strength. Precoating of Ag layer ($3{\mu}m$ in thickness) on the $W-40\%Ag$ contact material was done by electro-plating method. Subsequently the brazing treatment was conducted by inserting BCuP-5 filler metal (Ag-Cu-P alloy) layer between Ag coated W-Ag and Cu substrate and annealing at $710^{\circ}C$ in $H_2$ atmosphere. The optimum brazing temperature of $710^{\circ}C$ was semi-empirically calculated on the basis of the Cu atomic diffusion profile in Ag layer of commercial electric contact produced by the same brazing process. As a mechanical test of the electric contact after brazing treatment the adhesion strength between the electric contact and Cu substrate was measured using Instron. The microstructure and phase equilibrium study revealed that the sound interlayer structure was formed by relatively low brazing treatment at $710^{\circ}C$. Thin Ag electro-plated layer precoated on the electric contact ($3{\mu}m$ in thickness) is thought to be enough for high adhesion strength arid sound microstructure in interface layer.

This study investigates Ag coated $Cu_2O$ nanoparticles that are produced with a changing molar ratio of Ag and $Cu_2O$. The results of XRD analysis reveal that each nanoparticle has a diffraction pattern peculiar to Ag and $Cu_2O$ determination, and SEM image analysis confirms that Ag is partially coated on the surface of $Cu_2O$ nanoparticles. The conductive paste with Ag coated $Cu_2O$ nanoparticles approaches the specific resistance of $6.4{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ for silver paste(SP) as $(Ag)/(Cu_2O)$ the molar ratio increases. The paste(containing 70 % content and average a 100 nm particle size for the silver nanoparticles) for commercial use for mounting with a fine line width of $100{\mu}m$ or less has a surface resistance of 5 to $20{\mu}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$, while in this research an Ag coated $Cu_2O$ paste has a larger surface resistance, which is disadvantageous. Its performance deteriorates as a material required for application of a fine line width electrode for a touch panel. A touch panel module that utilizes a nano imprinting technique of $10{\mu}m$ or less is expected to be used as an electrode material for electric and electronic parts where large precision(mounting with fine line width) is not required.

Dendrite 형태의 구리 입자 표면을 은으로 무전해 도금을 하는 과정에서, 치환도금(displacement plating)과 화학 환원도금(reducing electroless plating)을 병용하여 다양한 silver-coated copper (Ag@Cu) 입자들을 제조하였다. Ag@Cu 입자들의 물리화학적 특성은 SEM-EDS, TGA, XPS, XRD 및 BET 등으로 분석하였으며, 환원반응에 의하여 코팅되는 은은 구리 입자 표면에 나노 입자 형태로 형성되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. Ag@Cu 입자들을 에폭시 수지와 복합화하여 도전성 필름을 제조하고 그의 열적 안정성을 평가하였다. 치환 반응과 환원 반응의 차이가 Ag@Cu 필름의 초기 저항 및 열적 안정성에 미치는 영향에 관하여 연구하였다.

서브 미크론 구리-은 코어-쉘 Cu@Ag 입자를 초음파화학과 결합된 금속교환 반응으로 합성하고 인쇄용 전자부품을 위한 저렴한 전도성 페이스트 적용을 평가하였다. 코어-쉘의 합성을 위한 반응에서 코어로 사용된 $Cu_2O/Cu$ 복합체의 $Cu_2O$는 초음파화학 반응으로 Cu로 환원되고 Cu 원자는 Ag의 금속교환 반응의 환원제로 작용하여 코어 표면에 Ag가 코팅된 코어-쉘 구조를 얻었다. TEM-EDS와 TG-DSC를 이용하여 서브 미크론 입자의 코어-쉘 구조를 확인하였다. 70 wt% Cu@Ag를 용매에 분산시킨 전도성 페이스트를 결합제와 습윤제를 사용하여 제조하고, 스크린 인쇄법을 사용하여 폴리아미드 필름상에 코팅하였다. Ag 함량이 8 at%와 16 at%인 Cu@Ag 입자를 함유하는 인쇄된 페이스트 필름은 공기 중의 $180^{\circ}C$에서 소결한 후 각각 96.2와 $38.4{\mu}{\Omega}cm$의 낮은 비저항 값을 나타내었다.

Silver coated copper powders were prepared by a chemical reduction method with controlling the deposition process variables such as the feeding rate of the silver ionic solution and concentration of the reductants at room temperature. The characteristics of the products were evaluated by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AA) and a 4 probe resistivity measurement system. The optimum condition of the preparation of Ag coated Cu powders was at 0.05 M of potassium sodium tartrate and 2 ml/min of the feeding rate of the silver ionic solution. Our method successfully produced dense, uniform, and well-dispersed Ag coated Cu powder of $2{\sim}2.5{\mu}m$ witha silver layer of 100~200 nm. Additionally, we found that thespecific resistivity of the 30 wt.% Ag coated Cu powder was similar to that of pure silver, so that the composite powder could be used as an alternative electromagnetic shielding material for silver.

가격적 경쟁력을 가지는 Ag 코팅 Cu 플레이크 함유 도전성 페이스트를 제조하여 경화조건에 따른 열전도도 및 전기전도도 값의 변화를 측정하였다. 대기 중에서 경화시킨 시편의 경우 경화시간이 30분에서 60분으로 증가됨에 따라 열전도도가 증가하는 경향이 관찰되었다. 60분의 동일한 경화시간 조건에서는 질소 중 경화 시편이 대기 중 경화 시편보다 향상된 열전도도 값을 나타내었다. 그 결과 질소 중에서 60분간 경화시킨 Ag 코팅 Cu 플레이크 페이스트는 순수 Ag 플레이크가 함유된 페이스트가 나타내는 열전도도에 근접하는 열특성을 나타내었다. 한편 대기 중 경화 시편의 경우 경화시간이 30분에서 60분으로 증가됨에 따라 비저항 값이 더욱 증가하는 경향이 관찰되었나, 60분의 동일한 경화시간 조건에서 질소 중 경화 시편은 대기 중 경화 시편에 비할 수 없을 만큼 개선된 비저항 값($7.59{\times}10^{-5}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$)을 나타내었다.

내산화 특성을 가지는 저가격 도전성 필러 소재로의 적용을 위해 Ag 코팅 Cu 플레이크의 제조를 수행하면서 Cu 플레이크 표면의 산화층 제거를 위한 암모니아수 기반 전처리 용액의 적용법에 따른 영향을 분석해 보았다. 1회 전처리법 적용 시 전처리 시간이 2분을 초과하면서 플레이크 표면에서 홀 형태의 결함들이 생성되었으며, 유지시간에 비례하면서 그 개수와 크기가 점차 증가하였다. 또한 2분간의 전처리 후 Ag 도금 용액을 투입한 결과 도금 반응 중에 결함 발생이 다시 진행되어 플레이크 입자의 손상을 막을 수 없었다. 이에 비해 2분간의 1차 전처리 후 전처리 용액을 제거하고 저농도의 전처리 용액을 투입하여 2차 전처리를 실시하면서 Ag 도금 용액을 투입한 공정법에서는 상기 결함의 발생 빈도를 크게 줄일 수 있었다. 그 결과 1회 전처리법으로 제조된 15 wt% Ag 코팅 Cu 시료의 경우 약 $166^{\circ}C$의 온도부터 산화가 시작되었지만, 2회 전처리법으로 제조된 시료는 약 $224^{\circ}C$에서 산화가 시작되어 월등히 향상된 내산화 특성을 나타내었다.

Sn-Ag-Cu solder is known as most competitive in many kinds of Pb-free solders. In this study, effects of solderability with plated layers such as Cu, Cu/Sn, Cu/Ni and Cu/Ni/Au were investigated. Sn-3.5Ag-0.7Cu solder balls were reflowed in commercial reflow machine (peak temp. : 250℃ and conveyer speed : 0.6m/min). In wetting test, immersion speed was 5mm/sec., immersion time 5sec., immersion depth 4mm and temperature of solder bath was 250℃. Wettability of Sn-3.5Ag-0.7Cu on Cu, Cu/Sn (5㎛), Cu/Ni (5㎛), and Cu/Ni/Au (5㎛/500Å) layers was investigated. Cu/Ni/Au layer had the best wettability as zero cross time and equilibrium force, and the measured values were 0.93 sec and 7mN, respectively. Surface tension of Sn-3.5Ag-0.7Cu solder turmed out to be 0.52N/m. The thickness of IMC is reduced in the order of Cu, Cu/Sn, Cu/Mi and Cu/Ni/Au coated layer. Shear strength of Cu/Ni, Cu/Sn and Cu was around 560gf but Cu/Ni/Au was 370gf.

Cu-cored Sn-Ag solder balls were fabricated by coating pure Sn and Ag on Cu balls. The melting behavior and the solderability of the BGA joint with the Ni/Au coated Cu pad were investigated and were compared with those of the commercial Sn-Ag and Sn-Ag-Cu balls. DSC analyses clarified the melting of Cu-cored solders to start at a rather low temperature, the eutectic temperature of Sn-Ag-Cu. It was ascribed to the diffusion of Cu and Ag into Sn plating during the heating process. After reflow soldering the microstructures of the solder and of the interfacial layer between the solder and the Cu pad were analyzed with SEM and EPMA. By EDX analysis, formation of a eutectic microstructure composing of $\beta$-Sn, Ag$_3$Sn, ad Cu$_{6}$Sn$_{5}$ phases was confirmed in the solder, and the η'-(Au, Co, Cu, Ni)$_{6}$Sn$_{5}$ reaction layer was found to form at the interface between the solder and the Cu pad. By conducting shear tests, it was found that the BGA joint using Cu-cored solder ball could prevent the degradation of joint strength during aging at 423K because of the slower growth me of η'-(Au, Co, Cu, Ni)$_{6}$Sn$_{5}$ reaction layer formed at the solder, pad interface. Furthermore, Cu-cored multi-component Sn-Ag-Bi balls were fabricated by sequentially coating the binary Sn-Ag and Sn-Bi solders on Cu balls. The reflow property of these solder balls was investigated. Melting of these solder balls was clarified to start at the almost same temperature as that of Sn-2Ag-0.75Cu-3Bi solder. A microstructure composing of (Sn), Ag$_3$Sn, Bi and Cu$_{6}$Sn$_{5}$ phases was found to form in the solder ball, and a reaction layer containing primarily η'-(Au, Co, Cu, Ni)$_{6}$Sn$_{5}$ was found at the interface with Ni/Au coated Cu pad after reflow soldering. By conducting shear test, it was found that the BGA joints using this Cu-core solder balls hardly degraded their joint shear strength during aging at 423K due to the slower growth rate of the η'-(Au, Cu, Ni)$_{6}$Sn$_{5}$ reaction layer at the solder/pad interface.he solder/pad interface.
