Reflow process conditions were investigated for 0402 electric parts with Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solders. Circle hole shape metal mask with 100 m thickness showed excellent printability. Self alignment abilities were 71% for 1005 chips, 52% for 0603 chips, and 3% for 0402 chips. Average joining strengos were 1990 gf for 1005 chips, 867 gf for 0603 chips, and 525 gf for 0402 chips. As mis-mounting angle increased, joining strength decreased. Considering self-alignment ability, mounting angle had to be under $5^{\circ}$ and contact area of the chips had to be over 40% for Pb-free soldering process for 0402 chips.

Environmentally benign lead-free solder coated ribbon (e. g. SnCu, SnZn, SnBi${\cdots}$) has been intensively studied to interconnect cells without lead mixed ribbon (e. g. SnPb) in the crystalline silicon(c-Si) photovoltaic modules. However, high melting point (> $200^{\circ}C$) of non-lead based solder provokes increased thermo-mechanical stress during its soldering process, which causes early degradation of PV module with it. Hence, we proposed low-temperature conductive paste (CP) based tabbing method for lead-free ribbon. Modules, interconnected by the lead-free solder (SnCu) employing CP approach, exhibits similar output without increased resistivity losses at initial condition, in comparison with traditional high temperature soldering method. Moreover, 400 cycles (2,000 hour) of thermal cycle test reveals that the module integrated by CP approach withstands thermo-mechanical stress. Furthermore, this approach guarantees strong mechanical adhesion (peel strength of ~ 2 N) between cell and lead-free ribbons. Therefore, the CP based tabbing process for lead free ribbons enables to interconnect cells in c-Si PV module, without deteriorating its performance.

A soldering temperature of ($235{\pm}3$) $^{\circ}C$ is described in ISO 9455-15 for the copper corrosion test. However, this temperature is not suitable for performing lead-free solder pastes. We evaluated the compatibility of a lead-free solder paste in the experimental conditions of (Liquidus temperature + ($35{\pm}3$)) $^{\circ}C$. Based on the results after a Cu corrosion test, a proper temperature for Pb-free soldering was (melting point+($35{\pm}3$)) $^{\circ}C$. Criteria used to evaluate corrosion due to discoloration of flux residue is described in ISO 9455-15, but a more quantitative evaluation standard is needed. In this study, experimental error level was estimated by analyzing flux residue after a corrosion test for 72, 500 hours of specimens using EDS analysis with acceleration voltage. It was determined that the copper area at the flux residue boundary is suitable for the EDS analysis area.

This article briefly reviews the results of recently reported research on high-temperature Pb-free solder alloys and the research trend for characterization of the interfacial reaction layer. To improve the product reliability of high-temperature Pb-free solder alloys, thorough research is necessary not only to enhance the alloy properties but also to characterize and understand the interfacial reaction occurring during and after the bonding process. Transmission electron microscopy analysis is expected to play an important role in the development of high-temperature solders by providing accurate and reliable data with a high spatial resolution and facilitating understanding of the interfacial reaction at the solder joint.

The surface mounting technology of 0402 electric chip part is necessary to fabricate a high density and multi-functional module, but there is a limitation of the technology, like as a bridge and self-alignement. This work estimated SMT processing factors of 0402 chip. To obtain optimum SMT process, we evaluated effects of stencil thickness, shape of hole on printability and mountability. Printability shows best results under the thickness of $80{mu}m$ with circle hole shape and 90% square hole shape. In case of chip mounting process, chip mis-alignment and bridge was occurred rarely in same conditions. In more thin stencil thickness, $50{mu}m$, strength of 1005 chip parts was poor, because of amount of printed solder was insufficient.

Sn-Pb솔더는 그동안 자동차 전장품에서 많이 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 최근에 환경과 인체에 대한 유해성 때문에 end-of-life vehicle (ELV)과 같은 국제 환경 규제로 인하여 Pb의 사용이 금지되었다. 이러한 이유로 자동차 전장품을 위한 Pb-free 솔더링에 관한 많은 연구들이 보고 되어 왔다. 한편, 자동차의 연료 효율성과 공간 활용을 위하여 유연성과 경량의 특성을 가지는 플렉시블 기판이 자동차 전장품에 사용되고 있다. 자동차 전장품에 대한 Pb-free 솔더 접합부 특성에 관한 연구들이 많이 진행되었음에도 불구하고 자동차의 사용 환경을 고려한 플렉시블 기판 솔더 접합부에 대한 신뢰성 특성에 관한 연구는 아직 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 organic solderability preservative (OSP) 및 electroless nickel immersion gold (ENIG) 표면처리 된 플렉시블 기판 위 Sn3.0Ag0.5Cu, Sn0.7Cu, Sn0.5Cu0.01Al(Si) 세 가지 Pb-free 솔더 접합부에 대한 특성을 보고 하였다. 솔더 조성과 기판 표면처리에 따른 접합부의 특성 및 신뢰성을 비교 평가 하기 위하여 인장 강도 시험, 열 충격 시험과 반복 굽힘 시험을 진행 하고 그 결과를 분석하였다. OSP 표면처리 된 기판 접합부에 대한 반복 굽힘 시험 결과 세 종류의 솔더 접합부 모두 파괴는 솔더 내부에서 일어 났으며 Sn3.0Ag0.5Cu 솔더의 접합부에서 반복 굽힘 수명이 가장 길게 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 Cu 기판 위에 그래핀(graphene)을 전사하고 Cu 기판 위에 Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu 무연(Pb-free) 솔더페이스트를 도포한 후에, 리플로우 솔더링 공정 및 다양한 온도(125, 150, 175 ℃)에서 등온 시효 1000 h 동안 Cu 기판과 솔더 계면에서 발생하는 금속간화합물(intermetallic compound, IMC)의 형성과 성장 거동에 전사된 graphene의 미치는 영향에 대하여 보고하였다. Graphene이 계면에 존재하는 경우 graphene이 존재하지 않은 경우와 비교할 때, 솔더링 공정 및 시효 동안 형성되어 성장하는 Cu₆Sn₅과 Cu₃Sn IMC의 두께가 감소하는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 또한, 계면에 존재하는 전사된 graphene 층(layer)은 시효 온도와 시간에 따라 IMC들의 성장 거동과 관계된 Cu₆Sn₅과 Cu₃Sn IMC의 성장 속도 상수와 성장 속도 상수 제곱 값들도 크게 감소시킬 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Reflow soldering process is essential in electronic package. Reflow process for a long time results from the decrease of reliability because IMC is formed excessively. Solder alloys of Sn-37Pb and Sn-Ag with different kinds of Cu contents (0, 0.5 and 1 wt.%) as compared with Ni and Cu plate joints are investigated according to varying reflow time. The interfaces of solder joints are observed to analyze IMC (intermetallic compound) growth rate by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Shear test is also performed by using SP (Share-Punch) tester. The test results are compared with the solder joints of two different plates (Ni and Cu plate). $Cu_6Sn_5$ IMCs are formed on Cu plate interfaces after reflows in all samples. Ni3Sn4 and $(Cu,Ni)_6Sn_5$ IMCs are also formed on Ni plate interfaces. The IMC layer forms are affected by reflow time and contents of solder alloy. These results show that mechanical strength of solder joints strongly depends on thickness and shape of IMC.

The longitudinal thermosonic bonding method is investigated in this work for its application to the soldering process for electronic packaging. The effect of the ultrasonic is analyzed through lumped modeling, and the material properties of a viscoelastic model are measured experimentally. The thermosonic bonding method is verified by inserting the Cu pin and Au bump into solder block. As the solder thickness decreases, temperature of the solder is calculated to increase rapidly because of larger strain. Localized heating due to ultrasonic vibration is observed to melt the solder near the pin, which is adequate to the high density electronic package and Pb-free solder having high melting temperature.
