In electronic industry, the trend of future electronics will be flexible, bendable, wearable electronics. Until now, there is few study on bonding technology and reliability of bonding joint between chip with micro solder bump and flexible substrate. In this study, we investigated joint properties of Si chip with eutectic Sn-58Bi solder bump on Cu pillar bump bonded on flexible substrate finished with ENIG by flip chip process. After flip chip bonding, we observed microstructure of bump joint by SEM and then evaluated properties of bump joint by die shear test, thermal shock test, and bending test. After thermal shock test, we observed that crack initiated between $Cu_6Sn_5IMC$ and Sn-Bi solder and then propagated within Sn-Bi solder and/or interface between IMC and solder. On the other hands, We observed that fracture propated at interface between Ni3Sn4 IMC and solder and/or in solder matrix after bending test.

환경에 관한 관심이 증대되면서 Sn37Pb 솔더를 대체하기 위한 새로운 무연솔더의 개발이 진행되고 있다1). 또한 연구의 초점이 되고 있는 것이 플럭스의 사용에 관한 것이다. 플럭스는 솔더의 산화막을 제거하는데 필수적이지만, 플럭스 세정제의 독성 문제로 무플럭스 솔더링에 대한 관심이 크게 증대되고 있다2),3). 무플럭스 솔더링의 방법에는 여러 가지가 있으며, 그 중 한가지가 플라즈마를 이용한 방법이다4). 본 연구에서는 솔더표면의 이물질과 산화막을 제거하기 위한 플라즈마 처리가 접합 후, 접합부에 미치는 영향에 대해서 알아보았다. 기판은 Evaporator를 이용하여 Au/Cu/Ni/Al UBM을 증착한 Si-wafer를 사용하였다. 사용된 솔더는 Sn37Pb, Sn3.5Ag와 Sn3.5Ag0.7Cu 솔더볼이며, 열중 및 적외선 겸용 리플로 머신과 Ar＋H$_2$를 이용한 플라즈마 에쳐를 사용하여 범프를 형성하였다. 플라즈마 처리가 계면의 미세조직과 기계적 강도에 끼치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 플라즈마 처리된 시편과 리플로 한 후의 시편을 비교 분석하였다. 전단시험기로 계면의 강도를 측정하였으며, 주사전자현미경으로 범프의 표면과 계면 및 전단파면을 관찰하고 이에 대하여 고찰하였다. 산화막제거를 위한 플라즈마 처리가 저음점인 솔더의 미세조직을 기존의 솔더링 접합부와는 다르게 변화시킴으로써 솔더부의 전체적인 특성에 영향을 끼치는 것을 알 수 있었다.

AI-Mg-합금의 용융산화에 의해 생성되는 AlO$_{2}$O$_{3}$-복합재료의 미세구조에 미치는 합금원소의 영향을 연구하였다. AI-1Mg 합금과 AI-3Mg 합금을 기본으로하여 Si, Zn, Sn, Cu, Ni, Ca, Ce를 1, 3, 5 %를 무게비로 첨가하였다. 각 합금을 1473K에서 20시간 유지하여 산화시킨 후 산화층의 거시적 형상과 미세구조를 광학현미경으로 관찰하였다. 각 미세구조의 상분율을 상분석기로 측정하였다. 산화층의 최첨단면은 SEM과 EDX로 관찰하고 분석하였다. Cu나 Ni를 첨가한 합금으로부터 성장한 산화층의 미세구조가 가장 치밀하였다. Zn이 포함된 합금으로부터 성장한 산화층 최첨단 성장면에는 ZnO가 관찰되었다. Zn이 포함되지 않은 다른 합금의 성장 전면에는 항상 MgAi$_{2}$O$_{4}$상이 관찰되었다.

The present study analyzed standard samples of three types of aluminum matrix certified reference materials (CRM) using GD-MS. Calibration curves were constructed for 13 elements (Mg, Si, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, Sn, and Pb), with the slope representing the relative sensitivity factor (RSF). The x- and y-axes of the calibration curve represented ion beam ratio (IBR) and the authenticated value of the standard sample, respectively. In order to evaluate precision and linearity of the calibration curve, RSD and the coefficient of determination were calculated. Curve RSD for every element reflected high precision (within 10 %). For most elements, the coefficient of determination was ${\geq}0.99$, indicating excellent linearity. However, vanadium, nickel, and gallium curves exhibited relatively low linearity (0.90~0.95), likely due to their narrow concentration ranges. Standard RSF was calculated using the slope of the curve generated for three types of CRM. Despite vanadium, nickel, and gallium exhibiting low coefficients of determination, their standard RSF resembled that of the three types of CRM. Therefore, the RSF method may be used for element quantitation. Standard iron matrix samples were analyzed to verify the applicability of the aluminum matrix standard RSF, as well as to calculate the RSD-estimated error of the measured value relative to the actual standard value. Six elements (Al, Si, V, Cr, Mn, and Ni) exhibited an RSD of approximately 30 %, while the RSD of Cu was 77 %. In general, Cu isotopes are subject to interference: $^{63}Cu$ to $^{54}Fe^{2+}-^{36}Ar$ and $^{65}Cu$ to $^{56}Fe-Al^{3+}$ interference. Thus, the influence of these impurities may have contributed to the high RSD value observed for Cu. To reliably identify copper, the resolution should be set at ${\geq}8000$. However, high resolutions are inappropriate for analyzing trace elements, as it lowers ion permeability. In conclusion, quantitation of even relatively low amounts of six elements (Al, Si, V, Cr, Mn, and Ni) is possible using this method.

Bulk amorphous materials have been intensively studied to apply for various advanced industry fields due to their high mechanical, chemical and electrical properties. These materials have been produced by several techniques such as mechanical alloying, melt spinning and gas atomization, etc. Among them, the atomization is the most potential technique for commercialization due to high cooling rate during solidification of the melt and mass productivity. However, the amorphous powders still have some limitations because of their low ductility and toughness. Therefore, intensive efforts have to be carried out to increase the ductility and toughness. In this study, the Ni-based amorphous powder was produced by the gas atomization process. And in order to increase the ductile toughness, ductile Cu phase was coated on the Ni amorphous powder by spray drying process. The characteristics of the as-synthesis powders have been examined and briefly mentioned. The master alloy with $Ni_{57}Zr_{20}Ti_{16}Si_2Sn_3$ was prepared by vacuum induction melting furnace with graphite crucible and mold. The atomization was conducted at $1450^{\circ}C$ under the vacuum of $10^{-2}$ torr. The gas pressure during atomization was varied from 35 to 50 bars. After making the Ni amorphous powders, the spray drying was processed to produce the Cu -coated Ni amorphous composite powder. The amorphous powder and Cu nitrate solution were mixed together with a small amount of binder and then it was sprayed at temperature of $130^{\circ}C$ and rotating speed of 15,000 R.P.M.

We investigated the effects of doping elements on the Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O ceramics. The doping elements can be classified into four groups depending on their supeconducting characteristics in the Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O structure. The first group of doping elements(Co, Fe, Ni and Zn) substitute into the copper site and can reduce the critical temperatures of the 2223 and 2212 phases. The second group of doping elements(Y and La) substitute into the Ca site and cause the disappearance of the 2223 phase and increase the critical temperatures in the 2212 phase. The third group of doping elements(P and K) have a tendency to decompose the superconducting phase and reduce the optimal sintering temperature. The fourth group of doping elements(B, Si, Sn and Ba) almost unaffected the superconductivity of the 2223 and 2212 phase.

Liquid formability of bulk amorphous alloys is known to be very poor due to their high viscosity comparing with conventional metallic materials. It is important to have the fabricating technology of bulk amorphous alloys in order to make the components with complicated shape. Liquid formability includes the mold cavity filling ability and the hot tear(crack) resistance during solidification. A mold made of a commercial tool steel for the formability test was designed. Melting was performed by the arc melting furnace with melting capacity of 200 g in an argon atmosphere. Liquid formability and glass forming ability of Cu base and Ni base bulk amorphous alloys were measured and evaluated. Mold filling ability of Ni-Zr-Ti-Si-Sn alloy was better than that of Cu-Ni-Zr-Ti alloy, however the reverse is the hot tear resistance. Bulk amorphous alloy is very susceptible to crack if partial crystallization occurs during solidification. Crack resistance was thought to be closely related with the glass forming ability.

Some minor elements(Al, B, Ba, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Gd, Mg, Mn, Mo, Nd, Ni, P, Pb, Si, Sn, Sr, Ti, V, Yb, Zn and Zr) in iron compounds such as the S/G sludge of a power plant were separated from iron by anionic and cationic exchange methods. If a ICP-AES or AAS determination follows this method, minor elements of more than 2 or 20 ppm of Fe can be determined with an error less than 20% except Sn and Mo. Alkaline elements were excluded from this study since they can be easily recovered from an anionic exchange. Application to real sludge samples is ongoing.
