LGP is a key component of LCD back light unit because it determines brightness and sharpness of the display image. Usually, it has optical patterns fabricated on the bottom surface. These optical patterns convert point or line sources placed in the side of LGP to plane source at the top surface by changing the propagating direction of the incident light. In the present paper the LiGA-reflow method was applied to fabricate the LGP mold. Furthermore, the optical simulation considering the replication ratio of pattern height was applied to the pattern design. The optical simulation through systematic correction scheme was adopted to find the optimum distribution of pattern density. Finally, the stamper fabricated by this method was installed in the mold and LGP was produced by injection molding. As a result of luminance measurement for the final product, the average luminance and luminance uniformity was measured 3,180 nit and 84%, respectively. Consequently, the mold fabrication method using the LiGA-reflow and optical simulation(CAE) can save the expense and time compared with the existing fabrication methods(laser ablation and chemical etching).

솔더/UBM 계면반응에 따른 솔더범프의 기계적 신뢰성을 평가하기 위한 방안으로서 Cu UBM 상에서 리플로우한 Sn-52In 솔더범프의 리플로우 조건에 따른 전단응력과 전단에너지의 변화거동을 비교하였다. 리플로우 조건에 따른 전단에너지의 변화거동이 전단강도에 비해 Sn-52In/Cu 계면반응 및 파괴모드의 변화거동과 훨씬 잘 일치하여 솔더/UBM 계면반응에 따른 기계적 신뢰성을 분석하는데 전단에너지가 전단강도보다 훨씬 효과적인 평가 방안임을 알 수 있었다.

UBM-coated Si-wafer was fluxlessly soldered with glass substrate in $N_2$ atmosphere using plasma cleaning method. The bulk Sn-37wt.%Pb solder was rolled to the sheet of $100\mu\textrm{m}$ thickness in order to bond a solder disk by fluxless 1st reflow process. The oxide layer on the solder surface was analysed by AES(Auger Electron Spectroscopy). Through rolling, the oxide layer on the solder surface became thin, and it was possible to bond a solder disk on the Si-wafer with fluxless process in $N_2$ gas. The Si-wafer with a solder disk was plasma-cleaned in order to remove oxide layer formed during 1st reflow and soldered to glass by 2nd reflow process without flux in $N_2$ atmosphere. The thickness of oxide layer decreased with increasing plasma power and cleaning time. The optimum plasma cleaning condition for soldering was 500W 12min. The joint was sound and the thicknesses of intermetallic compounds were less than $1\mu\textrm{m}$.

The reactions between a Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder alloy and electroless Ni/electroless Pd/immersion Au (ENEPIG) surface finishes with various Pd layer thicknesses (0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, $0.4{\mu}m$) were examined for the effect of the Pd layer on the massive spalling of the $(Cu,Ni)_6Sn_5$ layer during reflow at $235^{\circ}C$. The thin layer deposition of an electroless Pd (EP) between the electroless Ni ($7{\mu}m$) and immersion Au ($0.06{\mu}m$) plating on the Cu substrate significantly retarded the massive spalling of the $(Cu,Ni)_6Sn_5$ layer during reflow. Its retarding effect increased with an increasing EP layer thickness. When the EP layer was thin (${\leq}0.1{\mu}m$), the retardation of the massive spalling was attributed to a reduced growth rate of the $(Cu,Ni)_6Sn_5$ layer and thus to a lowered consumption rate of Cu in the bulk solder during reflow. However, when the EP layer was thick (${\geq}0.2{\mu}m$), the initially dissolved Pd atoms in the molten solder resettled as $(Pd,Ni)Sn_4$ precipitates near the solder/$(Cu,Ni)_6Sn_5$ interface with an increasing reflow time. Since the Pd resettlement requires a continuous Ni supply across the $(Cu,Ni)_6Sn_5$ layer from the Ni(P) substrate, it suppressed the formation of $(Ni,Cu)_3Sn_4$ at the $(Cu,Ni)_6Sn_5/Ni(P)$ interface and retarded the massive spalling of the $(Cu,Ni)_6Sn_5$ layer.

본 연구에서는 $430^{\circ}C$에서 Bi-10Cu-20Sb-0.3Ni 조성의 솔더 합금과 Cu간의 리플로루 솔더링 시 생성되는 계면 반응층을 분석하였고, 솔더링 시간에 따른 계면 반응층의 성장 속도를 측정하였다. 리플로우 솔더링 후 Bi-10Cu-20Sb-0.3Ni/Cu의 계면 반응층을 분석한 결과, $(Cu,Ni)_2Sb$ 및 $Cu_4Sb$ 금속간 화합물층, 그리고 Bi 조성과 $Cu_4Sb$ 상이 주기적으로 존재하는 아지랑이 형상층이 연속적으로 생성되었다. 또한 120 s까지의 솔더링 시간 영역에서는 계면 반응층의 총 두께가 솔더링 시간에 대해 직선적으로 증가하는 경향이 관찰되었다. 합금원소로 첨가된 Ni은 가장 두꺼운 $Cu_4Sb$ 반응층의 형성에 참여하지 않아 계면 금속간 화합물의 성장 속도를 억제시키는 작용을 나타내지 못했다.

Pb is considered to be eliminated from solder, due to its toxicity. However, melting temperatures of most Pb-free solders are known higher than that of Sn37Pb. Therefore, there is a difficulty to apply Pb-free solders to electronic industry. Since Sn3Ag8Bi5In has relatively lower melting range as $188~200^{\circ}C$, on this study. Wettability and soldering characteristics of Sn3Ag8Bi5In solder in BGA were investigated to solve for what kind of problem. Zero cross time, wetting time, and equilibrium force of Sn3Ag8Bi5In solder for Cu and plated Cu such as Sn, Ni, and Au/Ni-plated on Cu were estimated. Plated Sn on Cu showed best wettability for zero cross time, wetting time and equilibrium farce. Shear strength of the reflowed joint with Sn3Ag8Bi5In ball in BGA was investigated. Diameter of the ball was 0.5mm, UBM(under bump metallurgy) was $Au(0.5\mu\textrm{m})Ni(5\mu\textrm{m})/Cu(18\mu\textrm{m})$ and flux was RMA type. For the reflow soldering, the peak reflow temperature was changed in the range of $220~250^{\circ}C$, and conveyor speed was 0.6m/min.. The shear strength of Sn3Ag8Bi5In ball showed similar level as those of Sn37Pb. The soldered balls are aged at $110^{\circ}C$ for 36days and their shear strengths were evaluated. The shear strength of Sn3Ag8Bi5In ball was increased from 480gf to 580gf by aging for 5 days.

Recently, there is a growing tendency that fine-pitch electronic devices are increased due to higher density and very large scale integration. Finer pitch printed circuit board(PCB) is to be decrease insulation resistance between circuit patterns and electrical components, which will induce to electrical short in electronic circuit by electrochemical migration when it exposes to long term in high temperature and high humidity. In this research, the effect of soldering flux acting as an electrical carrier between conductors on electrochemical migration was investigated. The PCB pad was coated with OSP finish. Sn3.0Ag0.5Cu solder paste was printed on the PCB circuit and then the coupon was treated by reflow process. Thereby, specimen for ion migration test was fabricated. Electrochemical migration test was conducted under the condition of DC 48 V, $85^{\circ}C$, and 85 % relative humidity. Their life time could be increased about 22% by means of removal of flux. The fundamentals and mechanism of electrochemical migration was discussed depending on the existence of flux residues after reflow process.

Package reliability test was conducted to investigate the effect of solder paste composition at BGA Package. It was found that the shape and size of the phase form are affected by the processing parameters. The material have used to fill in the via was Sn/36Pb/2Ag and Sn/0.75Cu type solder paste. Sn/36Pb/2Ag and Sn/0.75Cu paste were fabricated on Tape-BGA substrates by screen printing process, and via ball mount data were characterized with variations of dwell time of 85 seconds at reflow peak temperature at 22$0^{\circ}C$ or 24$0^{\circ}C$. The test condition was MRT 30 $^{\circ}C$/60 %RH/96 HR. Failures formed of a ball-off in solder paste process were observed by using a Optical Microscope and SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope). It was concluded that intermetallic layer growth played important roles in increasing solder fatigue strength for addition of Ag composition. The degradation of shear strength of solder composition is discussed.

Ball grid array (BGA) substrate 상의 0.5 $\mu\textrm{m}$Au/5 $\mu\textrm{m}$Ni/Cu 층으로 구성된 접촉 패드(pad)와 In-15(wt.%)Pb-5Ag 솔더 볼 사이에서 리플로우 및 고상 시효동안 일어나는 금속학적 반응 특성이 조사되었다. 1-5 분의 리플로우 시간에 따라 솔더/패드 계면에서 $AuIn_2$ 또는 Ni-In 금속간 화합물층이 형성됨이 관찰되었다. 리플로우 동안 용융 In-l5Pb-5Ag 솔더 내로의 Au 층의 용해 속도는 $2\times 10^{-3}$ $\mu\textrm{m}$/sec 정도로 측정되어 공정 Sn-37Pb와 비교하여 매우 느린 것으로 관찰되었다. $130^{\circ}C$에서 500시간의 고상 시효 후에는 초기 리플로우 시간에 관계없이 $Ni_{28}In_{72}$ 금속간 화합물층이 약 3 $\mu\textrm{m}$까지 성장하였다. 이를 통하여 솔더 합금에서의 In 원자들은 아래의 Ni 층과 반응하기 위하여 리플로우 동안 형성된 $AuIn_2$상을 통하여 확산하는 것으로 관찰되었다. 미세구조 관찰과 전단 시험을 통하여 In-l5Pb-5Ag합금의 경우는 Sn-37Pb 조성과는 달리 Au/Ni surface finish 상에 사용시에도 솔더 접합부에서의 Au-embrittlement를 야기 시키지 않는 것으로 분석되었다.
