Recently, mechanical reliabilities including a drop test have been a hot issue. In this paper, solder balls with new components which are Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu and Sn-1.0Ag-0.5Cu-0.05N are introduced, and board level drop test for them are conducted under JEDEC standard in which the board with 15 flip chips is dropped as 1,500g acceleration during 0.5ms. The drop simulations are studied by using a implicit method in the ANSYS LS-DYNA, and modal analysis is made. Through both analyses, the solder balls with new components are evaluated under the drop. It is found that the maximum stress of each chip is occurred between the solder ball and the PCB, and the highest value among the maximum stresses in the chips is occurred on the chip nearest to fixed holes on the board in the drop tests and simulations.

To study the effects of tempering on microstructure and mechanical property of Cu-22 wt.%Sn alloy, tempering was carried out for 30 sec, 1 min, 5 min, 30 min, 3 h, 5 h, and 10 h at 325, 370, 500, and 570℃, which are in the (α+ε), lower (α+δ), higher (α+δ), and (α+γ) region of Cu-Sn phase diagram, respectively. Overall, the hardness value increased and decreased over time at all tempering temperatures, and the time to reach the maximum hardness value beccame shorter as the tempering temperature increases. At the beginning of tempering at each temperature, a portion of the β' phase was decomposed into a fine (α+δ) phase or (α+γ) phase, so that the Cu-22Sn alloy had a high hardness value. However, as the tempering time increases, the hardness value of the alloy decreased due to the growth of the decomposed phases.

The kesterite $Cu_2ZnSnSe_4$ (CZTSe) thin film solar cells were synthesized by selenization of sputtered Cu/Sn/Zn metallic precursors on Mo coated soda lime glass substrate in Ar atmosphere. Cu/Sn/Zn metallic precursors were deposited by DC magnetron sputtering process with 30 W power at room temperature. As-deposited metallic precursors were placed in a graphite box with Se pellets and selenized using rapid thermal processing furnace at various temperature ($480^{\circ}C{\sim}560^{\circ}C$) without using a toxic $H_2Se$ gas. Effects of Selenization temperature on the morphological, crystallinity, electrical properties and cell efficiency were investigated by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), J-V measurement system and solar simulator. Further details about effects of selenization temperature on CZTSe thin films will be discussed.

In this study, ZnO nanorods and $SnO_2$-CuO heterogeneous oxide were grown on membrane-type gas sensor platforms and the sensing characteristics for carbon monoxide (CO) were studied. Diaphragm-type gas sensor platforms with built-in Pt micro-heaters were made using a conventional bulk micromachining method. ZnO nanorods were grown from ZnO seed layers using the hydrothermal method, and the average diameter and length of the nanorods were adjusted by changing the concentration of the precursor. Thereafter, $SnO_2$-CuO heterogeneous oxide thin films were grown from evaporated Sn and Cu thin films. The average diameters of the ZnO nanorods obtained by changing the concentration of the precursor were between 30 and 200 nm and the ZnO nanorods showed a sensitivity value of 21% at a working temperature of $350^{\circ}C$ and a carbon monoxide concentration of 100 ppm. The $SnO_2$-CuO heterogeneous oxide thin films showed a sensitivity value of 18% at a working temperature of $200^{\circ}C$ and a carbon monoxide concentration of 100 ppm.

For the development of a low-melting point filler metal for brazing aluminum alloy, we analyzed change of melting point and wettability with addition of Sn into Al-20Cu-10Si filler metal. DSC results showed that the addition of 5 wt% Sn into the Al-20Cu-10Si filler metal caused its liquidus temperature to decrease by about 30 oC. In the wettability test, spread area of melted Al-Cu-Si-Sn alloy is increased through the addition of Sn from 1 to 5 wt%. For the measuring of the mechanical properties of the joint region, Al 3003 plate is brazed by Al-20Cu-10Si-5Sn filler metal and the mechanical property is measured by tensile test. The results showed that the tensile strength of the joint region is higher than the tensile strength of Al 3003. Thus, failure occurred in the Al 3003 plate.

$Cu_2ZnSnS_4$ (CZTS) thin films were fabricated by successive electrodeposition of layers of precursor elements followed by sulfurization of an electrodeposited Cu-Zn-Sn precursor. In order to improve quality of the CZTS films, we tried to optimize the deposition condition of absorber layers. In particular, I have conducted optimization experiments by changing the Cu-layer deposition time. The CZTS absorber layers were synthesized by different Cu-layer conditions ranging from 10 to 16 minutes. The sulfurization of Cu/Sn/Zn stacked metallic precursor thin films has been conducted in a graphite box using rapid thermal annealing (RTA). The structural, morphological, compositional, and optical properties of CZTS thin films were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray Flourescenece Spectrometry (XRF). Especially, the CZTS TFSCs exhibits the best power conversion efficiency of 4.62% with $V_{oc}$ of 570 mV, $J_{sc}$ of $18.15mA/cm^2$ and FF of 45%. As the time of deposition of the Cu-layer to increasing, the properties were confirmed to be systematically changed. And we have been discussed in detail below.

$H_2S$ micro-gas sensors have been developed employing $SnO_2$:CuO composite thin films. The films were prepared by e-beam evaporation of Sn and Cu metals on silicon substrates, followed by oxidation at high temperatures. Results of various studies, such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) reveal that $SnO_2$ and CuO are mutually non-reactive. The CuO grains, which in turn reside in the inter-granular regions of $SnO_2$, inhibit grain growth of $SnO_2$ as well as forming a network of p-n junctions. The film showed more than a 90% relative resistance change when exposed to $H_2S$ gas at 1 ppm in air at an operating temperature of $350^{\circ}C$ and had a short response time of 8 sec.

Au 층의 두께를 $0.1{\~}0.7{\mu}m$로 변화시킨 $0.1{\mu}m$ Ti/3 ${\mu}m$ Cu/Au UBM 상에서 48Sn-52In 솔더를 $150-250^{\circ}C$의 온도 범위에서 리플로우시 UBM/솔더 반응에 의한 금속간화합물의 형성거동을 분석하였다. 또한 Ti/Cu/Au UBM의 Au 두께 및 리플로우 온도에 따른 볼 전단강도와 전단에너지를 분석하였다. $150^{\circ}C$와 $200^{\circ}C$에서 리플로우 시에는 UBM/솔더 계면에 $Cu_6(Sn,In)_5$와 $AuIn_2$ 금속간 화합물이 형성되어 있으나, $250^{\circ}C$에서 리플로우 시에는 솔더 반응이 크게 증가하여 UBM이 대부분 소모되었다. 볼 전단강도는 UBM/솔더 반응과 일치하지 않는 결과를 나타내었으나, 전단 에너지는 UBM/솔더 반응과 잘 일치하는 변화 거동을 나타내었다.

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.
