Solder paste is widely used as a conductive adhesive in the electronics industry. In this paper, nano and microsized mixed lead-free solder powder (Sn-Ag-Cu) is used to manufacture solder paste. The purpose of this paper is to improve the storage stability using different types of solvents that are used in fabricating the solder paste. If a solvent of sole acetate is used, the nano sized solder powder and organic acid react and form a Sn-Ag-Cu malonate. These formed malonates create fatty acid soaps. The fatty acid soaps absorb the solvents and while the viscosity of the solder paste rises, the storage stability and reliability decrease. When ethylene glycol, a dihydric alcohol, is used the fatty acid soaps and ethylene glycol react, preventing the further creation of the fatty acid soaps. The prevention of gelation results in an improvement in the solder paste storage ability.

Kirkendall void는 전해도금 Cu/Sn-Ag 솔더 접합부에서 형성되었으며 Cu 도금욕에 함유되는 첨가제에 의존한다. 첨가제로 사용된 SPS의 함량의 증가와 함께 $150^{\circ}C$에서 열처리 후 많은 양의 Kirkendall void가 $Cu/Cu_3Sn$ 계면에 존재하였다. AES 분석은 void 표면에 S가 편석되어 있음을 보여주었다. $Cu/Cu_3Sn$ 계면을 따라 파괴된 시편에서 Cu, Sn, S peak만 검출되었고 AES 깊이 프로파일에서 S는 급격하게 감소하였다. $Cu/Cu_3Sn$ 계면에서 S 편석은 계면에너지를 낮추고 Kirkendall void 핵생성을 위한 에너지장벽을 감소시킨다. 낙하충격시험은 SPS를 사용하여 도금된 Cu의 경우 Kirkendall void가 형성된 $Cu/Cu_3Sn$ 계면에서 파괴가 진행되고 급격하게 신뢰성이 감소됨을 보였다.

European Union Member States shall ensure that, from 1 July 2006, new electrical and electronic equipment put on the market does not contain mercury, cadmium, lead, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls(PBB) or polybrominated diphenyl ethers(PBDE) (by Directive 2002/95/EC of The European Parliament and the Council of 27 january, 2003 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment ). So, It is important to develop lead free solder and to assure the reliability of appliance. But lead free solder(i.e. Sn-3Ag-0.5Cu) have some problems such as lift off, whisker, migration and crack, etc. In this paper we discuss the reliability assurance method in lead free solder and appliance.

In this study, the characteristic of fractured portion and shape on solder joints were investigated according to the thermal shock test for Automotive Application Component using Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder, which has a outstanding property as Lead-free solder. The value of pull and shear strength was decreased in principle after 432 cycles thermal shock test. In addition, fracture mode was verified by using EDS and SEM to observe fractured shape on the solder joints before and after thermal shock. In before thermal shock test, the fracture mode revealed typically solder layer's fracture mode. In after thermal shock test, we identified multiple fracture mode of the ductile and brittle fracture. Even though same composition of solder was used to experimental for estimating. the fracture mode varied on the fracture portion's height and the directional angles of shear strength. In conclusion, we identified that mechanical strength was affected on the solder layer's fracture mode.

Many researches related to the reliability of Pb-free solder joints with PCB (printed circuit board) surface finish under thermal or vibration stresses are in progress, because the electronics is operating in hash environment. Therefore, it is necessary to assess Pb-free solder joints life with PCB surface finish under thermal and mechanical stresses. We have investigated 4-points bending fatigue lifetime of Pb-free solder joints with OSP (organic solderability preservative) and ENIG (electroless nickel and immersion gold) surface finish. To predict the bending fatigue life of Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder joints, we use the test coupons mounted 192 BGA (ball grid array) package to be added the thermal stress by conducting thermal shock test, 500, 1,000, 1,500 and 2,000 cycles, respectively. An 4-point bending test is performed in force controlling mode. It is considered that as a failure when the resistance of daisy-chain circuit of test coupons reaches more than $1,000{\Omega}$. Finally, we obtained the solder joints fatigue life with OSP and ENIG surface finish using by Weibull probability distribution.

Characteristics of Sn-1.7%Bi-0.7%Cu-0.6%In (hereafter, SBIC) lead-free solder was investigated in this study. The results from SBIC were compared to other lead-free solders such as Sn-3.5%Ag-0.7%Cu (hereafter, SAC), Sn-0.7%Cu (hereafter, SC), and lead-bearing Sn-37%Pb (hereafter, SP) alloy. Tensile properties of bulk solder, wettability, spreading index, bridge and dross were evaluated. As experimental results, tensile strength and elongation of SBIC was 62.5MPa and 21.5%, respectively. The tensile strength was comparable to that of SP solder. The wetting time of SBIC was 1.2 sec at $250^{\circ}C$, and its wetting properties including wetting force were as good as the SAC alloy. However, wettability of the SC was not so good as the SBIC and SAC. The spreading index of SBIC at $250^{\circ}C$ was 71 %, and it was similar level to those of SAC and SC solders. Bridging was not found for all solders of SBIC, SAC and SC in the range from 240 to $260^{\circ}C$. In dross test at $250^{\circ}C$ for an hour, the amount of dross produced from SBIC was about 57% compared to that from SAC.

The fluxless wetting properties of UBM-coated Si-wafer to the binary lead-free solders(Sn-Ag, Sn-Sb, Sjn-In, Sn0Bi) were estimated by wetting balance method. With the new wettability indices from the wetting curves of one side coated specimen, the wetting property estimation of UBM-coated Si-wafer was possible. For UBM of Si-chip, Au/Cu/Cr UBm was better than au/Ni/TI in the point of wetting time/ At general reflow process temperature, the wettability of high melting point solders(Sn-Sb, Sn-Ag) was better than that of low melting point one(Sn-Bi, Sn-In). The contact angle of the one side coated Si-plate to the solder could be calculated from the force balance equation by measuring the static state force and the tilt angle.

저 Ag 함유 Sn-Ag-Cu계 무연솔더 조성, 즉, Sn-0.3Ag-0.7Cu 조성의 젖음 특성과 반응 특성을 Sn-1.0Ag-0.5Cu 및 Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu 합금 조성의 결과와 비교, 분석하였다. 또한 Sn-0.3Ag-0.7Cu 조성의 용융 특성을 시차주사열량계(differential scanning calorimeter, DSC)로 측정하고, 인장시험을 통한 응력-변형률 곡선을 관찰하였다. 아울러 Sn-0.3Ag-0.7Cu 조성의 젖음 특성을 향상시키기 위해 halide의 함유량이 많은 플럭스(flux)를 적용하거나 Sn-0.3Ag-0.7Cu 조성에 0.2wt.%의 In을 첨가하여 그 젖음 특성의 개선 정도를 분석해 보았다. 그 결과 halide 함유량이 높은 플럭스를 사용한 경우보다 미량의 In을 첨가한 경우가 $230{\sim}240^{\circ}C$의 저온 영역에서 wettability의 향상에 보다 효과적임을 관찰할 수 있었다.

The mechanical and electrical properties of ball grid array (BGA) solder joints were measured, consisting of Sn-3.5Ag, with organic solderability preservative (OSP)-finished Cu pads and Electroless Nickel/Immersion Gold (ENIG) surface finishes. The mechanical properties were measured by die shear test. When ENIG PCB was upper joint and OSP PCB was lower joint, the highest shear force showed at the third reflow. When OSP PCB was upper joint and ENIG PCB was lower joint, the highest shear force showed at the forth reflow. For both joints, after the die shear results reached the highest shear force, shear force decreased as a function of increasing reflow number. Electrical property of the solder joint decreased with the function of increasing reflow number. The scanning electron microscope results show that the IMC thickness at the bonding interface gets thicker while the number of reflow increases.
