Ag spot-coated Cu nanopowders were synthesized by a hydrothermal-attachment method (HA) using oleic acid capped Ag hydrosol. Cu nano powders were synthesized by pulsed wire exploding method using 0.4 mm in diameter of Cu wire (purity 99.9%). Synthesized Cu nano powders are seen with comparatively spherical shape having range in 50 nm to 150 nm in diameter. The oleic acid capped Ag hydrosol was synthesized by the precipitation-redispersion method. Oleic acid capped Ag nano particles showed the narrow size distribution and their particle size were less than 20 nm in diameter. In the case of nano Ag-spot coated Cu powders, nanosized Ag particles were adhered in the copper surface by HAA method. The components of C, O and Ag were distributed on the surface of copper powder.

$YBa_2Cu_3O_X$ samples were fabricated by MPMG(Melt Powdered Melt Growth). Intitial composition of the mixed powders were prepared as follow ; $YBa_2Cu_3O_X$ : $Y_2BaCuO_5$ = 1:0, 1:0.2, 1:0.3, 1:0.4. After the first melt and cooling, 5wt% to 20wt% fo Ag power was added to the powder. Effects of the different initial $Y_2BaCuO_5$ and Ag addition amount on $J_c$ and magnetization of $YBa_2Cu_3O_X$ fabricated by MPMG method were investigated. The critical current density increased with the amount of $Y_2BaCuO_5$ and Ag. It was also observed that the difference between negative and positive magnetization in the magnetization hysteresis measurement at 77K was larger than the case where $Y_2BaCuO_5$and Ag were not added to the $YBa_2Cu_3O_X$ powders. It is concluded that $Y_2BaCuO_5$ sample with 40wt% amount of $Y_2BaCuO_5$ and 20wt% amount of Ag has not only the largest $J_c$ but also the improved pinning effect.

L-ascorbic acid 환원제를 사용하는 무전해 은도금 공정으로 Ag 코팅 Cu 플레이크를 제조하는 과정에서 전처리 방법 및 L-ascorbic acid의 농도에 따른 Ag 코팅층의 균일도 변화와 대기 중 승온에 따른 내산화 특성을 평가하였다. 전처리 방법에 따른 Cu 플레이크 표면 산화층의 제거 정도가 Ag 코팅층의 균일도에 큰 영향을 미치는 것을 관찰할 수 있었고, 플레이크에서의 홀 결함 발생정도도 Ag 코팅 Cu 플레이크의 내산화 특성에 다소 영향을 미쳤다. 또한 L-ascorbic acid 환원제의 농도는 Ag 코팅층의 생성 균일도 및 두께 등에 큰 영향을 미치는 대표 공정변수임을 확인할 수 있었는데, L-ascorbic acid의 농도가 0.04 M일 경우 가장 우수한 품질의 Ag 코팅 Cu 플레이크가 제조되었나, 농도를 0.06 M로 증가시킬 경우 미세한 순수 Ag 입자들의 생성으로 인해 Ag가 코팅되지 않은 Cu 표면 면적이 증가하면서 시료의 내산화 특성을 크게 감소시켰다.

In this paper, fabrication of Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder bumping having accurate composition and behavior of intermetallic compounds(IMCs) growth at interface between Sn-Ag-Cu bumps and Cu substrate were studied. The ternary alloy of the Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder was made by two binary(Sn-Cu, Sn-Ag) electroplating on Cu pad. For the manufacturing of the micro-bumps, photo-lithography and reflow process were carried out. After reflow process, the micro-bumps were aged at $150^{\circ}C$ during 1 hr to 500 hrs to observe behavior of IMCs growth at interface. As a different of Cu contents(0.5 or 2wt%) at Sn-Cu layer, behavior of IMCs was estimated. The interface were observed by FE-SEM and TEM for estimating of their each IMCs volume ratio and crystallographic-structure, respectively. From the results, it was found that the thickness of $Cu_3Sn$ layer formed at Sn-2.0Cu was thinner than the thickness of that layer be formed Sn-0.5Cu. After aging treatment $Cu_3Sn$ was formed at Sn-0.5Cu layer far thinner.

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.

The interfacial reaction and reliability of eutectic Sn-Pb and Pb-free eutectic Sn-Ag ball-grid-array (BGA) solders with an immersion Ag-plated Cu substrate were evaluated following isothermal aging at $150^{\circ}C$. During reflowing, the topmost Ag layer was dissolved completely into the molten solder, leaving the Cu layer exposed to the molten solder for both solder systems. A typical scallop-type Cu-Sn intermetallic compound (IMC) layer was formed at both of the solder/Cu interfaces during reflowing. The thickness of the Cu-Sn IMCs for both solders was found to increase linearly with the square root of isothermal aging time. The growth of the $Cu_3Sn$ layer for the Sn-37Pb solder was faster than that for the Sn-3.5Ag solder, In the case of the Sn-37Pb solder, the formation of the Pb-rich layer on the Cu-Sn IMC layer retarded the growth of the $Cu_6Sn_5$ IMC layer, and thereby increased the growth rate of the $Cu_3Sn$ IMC layer. In the ball shear test conducted on the Sn-37Pb/Ag-plated Cu joint after aging for 500h, fracturing occurred at the solder/$Cu_6Sn_5$ interface. The shear failure was significantly related to the interfacial adhesion strength between the Pb-rich and $Cu_6Sn_5$ IMC layers. On the other hand, all fracturing occurred in the bulk solder for the Sn-3.5Ag/Ag-plated Cu joint, which confirmed its desirable joint reliability.

To develope new lead-free solders with the melting temperature close to that of Sn-37Pb$(183^{\circ}C)$, Sn-0.7Cu-5Pb-1Ga, Sn-0.7Cu-5Pb-1Ag, Sn-0.7Cu-5Pb-5Bi-1Ag, and Sn-0.7Cu-SBi-1Ag alloys were composed by adding low-netting elements such as Ga, Bi, Pb, and Ag to Sn-0.7Cu. Then the melting temperatures, microstructures, wettability, and adhesion properties of these alloys were evaluated. DSC analysis showed that the melting temperature of Sn-0.7Cu-SPb-1Ga was $211^{\circ}C$, and those of other alloys was in the range of $192\~200^{\circ}C$. Microstructures of these alloys after heat-treatment at $150^{\circ}C$ for 24 hrs were basically composed of coarsely- grown $\beta-Sn$ grains, and $Cu_6Sn_5$ and $Ag_3Sn$ intermetallic precipitates. Sn-0.7Cu-5Pb-1Ga and Sn-0.7Cu-5Pb-5Bi-1Ag showed excellent wettability, while Sn-0.7Cu-5Bi-1Ag and Sn-0.7Cu-5Pb-5Bi-1Ag revealed good adhesion strength with the Cu substrates. Among 4 alloys, Sn-0.7Cu-5Pb-5Bi-1Ag with the lowest melting temperature $(192^{\circ}C)$ and relatively excellent wettability and adhesion strength was suggested to be the best candidate solder to replace Sn-37Pb.

본 연구에서는 Ag-Cu합금 코팅에 의한 탄소나노튜브의 전계방출특성 변화를 연구하였다. 화학기상증착 방법을 사용하여 수직 성장시킨 탄소나노튜브에 직류 마그네트론 스퍼터를 이용하여 Ag-Cu합금을 증착하였고, 열처리 전 후의 탄소나노튜브의 표면형상 변화와 전계방출특성에 변화를 연구하였다. 연구결과 Ag-Cu합금 코팅으로 전계방출 문턱전압이 현저히 낮아졌으며 전류밀도는 $6V/{\mu}m$의 인가전압 하에서 약 5배 향상된 것을 확인하였다. 또한 Ag-Cu합금이 코팅된 탄소나노튜브는 산소가 많이 포함된 분위기에서도 안정적인 전계방출 특성을 보였으며, 이는 Ag-Cu합금 코팅이 분위기 진공에 상존하는 산소기체가 탄소나노튜브를 공격하는 것을 막아주는 역할을 하여 열악한 분위기에서도 전계방출이 안정적으로 발생하였기 때문인 것으로 생각된다.

신축성 전자패키징 기술개발을 위한 기초연구로서 Cu/Sn 범프에 CNT-Ag 복합패드를 형성한 칩을 이방성 전도접착제를 사용하여 플립칩 본딩한 후, CNT-Ag 복합패드의 유무 및 본딩압력에 따른 플립칩 접속부의 접속저항을 측정하였다. CNT-Ag 복합패드가 형성된 Cu/Sn 칩 범프를 25MPa과 50MPa의 본딩압력으로 플립칩 본딩한 시편들은 접속저항이 너무 높아 측정이 안되었으며, 100MPa의 본딩압력으로 플립칩 본딩한 시편은 $213m{\Omega}$의 평균 접속저항을 나타내었다. 이에 비해 CNT-Ag 복합패드가 없는 Cu/Sn 칩 범프를 사용하여 25MPa, 50 MPa 및 100 MPa의 본딩압력으로 플립칩 본딩한 시편은 각기 $1370m{\Omega}$, $372m{\Omega}$ 및 $112m{\Omega}$의 평균 접속저항을 나타내었다.
