Drop impact reliability assessment of solder joints on the flip chip is one of the critical issues for micro system packaging. Our previous researches have been showing that new solder ball compositions of Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu has better mechanical reliability than Sn-1.0Ag-0.5Cu. In this paper, dynamic reliability analysis using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is carried out to assess the factors affecting flip chip in drop simulation. The design parameters are size and thickness of chip, and size, pitch and array of solder ball with composition of Sn1.0Ag0.5Cu. The board systems by JEDEC standard including 15 chips, solder balls and PCB are modeled with various design parameter combinations, and through these simulations, maximum yield stress and strain at each chip are shown at the solder balls. It is found that larger chip size, smaller chip array, smaller ball diameter, larger pitch, and larger chip thickness have bad effect on maximum yield stress and strain at solder ball of each chip.

The effects of printed circuit board electroless nickel immersion gold (ENIG) and organic solderability preservative (OSP) surface finishes on the electromigration reliability and shear strength of Sn-3.5Ag Pb-free solder bump were systematically investigated. In-situ annealing tests were performed in a scanning electron microscope chamber at 130, 150, and $170^{\circ}C$ in order to investigate the growth kinetics of intermetallic compound (IMC). Electromigration lifetime and failure modes were investigated at $150^{\circ}C$ and $1.5{\times}10^5A/cm^2$, while ball shear tests and failure mode analysis were conducted under the high-speed conditions from 10 mm/s to 3000 mm/s. The activation energy of ENIG and OSP surface finishes during annealing were evaluated as 0.84 eV and 0.94 eV, respectively. The solder bumps with ENIG surface finish showed longer electromigration lifetime than OSP surface finish. Shear strengths between ENIG and OSP were similar, and the shear energies decreased with increasing shear speed. Failure analysis showed that electrical and mechanical reliabilities were very closely related to the interfacial IMC stabilities.

The effect of high shear speed on shear force, shear energy and fracture surface was investigated for the solder joint of a $Sn-_{3.0}Ag-_{0.5}Cu$ ball. For both ENIG and OSP pads, the shear force increased with an increase in shearing speed to 0.3 m/s. However, for an ENEPIG pad, the shear force increased with an increase in shear speed to 0.6 m/s and kept almost constant afterward. The shear energy decreased with an increase in shearing speed for ENIG and OSP pads. For the ENEPIG pad, however, the shear energy almost remained constant in a shearing speed range 0.3-3.0 m/s. The fracture mode analysis revealed that the amount of brittle fracture for the ENIG and the OSP pads increased with shearing speed, and a complete brittle fracture appeared at 1.0 m/s for ENIG and 2.0 m/s for OSP. However, the ENEPIG pad showed only a ductile fracture until 0.25 m/s, and a full brittle fracture didn't occur up to 3.0 m/s. The fracture mode matched well with the shear energy. The results from the high speed shear test of SAC305 were similar to those of SAC105.

저온용 무연 솔더의 대표 조성으로 고려되고 있는 Sn-58Bi(융점: $138^{\circ}C$) 공정(eutectic) 조성은 우수한 강도에도 불구하고 연성(ductility) 측면에서의 문제점이 지속적으로 보고되고 있다. 따라서 이 합금계의 연성을 최대로 개선시킬 수 있으면서도 실제 상용화가 가능한 합금 조성의 개발 연구가 요청된다. 본 연구에서는 Sn-Bi 2원계 조성에서 최대의 연성을 나타내는 것으로 보고된 Sn-40Bi 조성에 미량의 합금원소를 첨가함으로써 최대의 연성을 확보하는 한편, 그 연성 특성이 변형속도에 어느 정도 민감한지를 인장 실험을 통해 결정하고자 하였다. 합금원소로는 0.1~0.5 wt%의 Ag, Mn, In, Cu를 선택하였으며, 인장 시편을 제조하여 $10^{-2}$, $10^{-3}$, $10^{-4}\;s^{-1}$의 3종류로 변형속도를 변형시켜가며 응력-변형 곡선(stress-strain curve)을 측정하였고, 조성별, 변형속도별로 최대인장강도(ultimate tensile stress, UTS) 및 연신율 결과들을 정리하였다. 합금원소를 첨가한 조성의 경우는 모든 시험 조건에서 Sn-40Bi보다 우수한 연신률을 나타내는 것으로 측정되었으나, $10^{-2}\;s^{-1}$의 빠른 변형속도에서는 그 향상 정도가 상대적으로 감소하는 경향이 관찰되었다. 특히 Sn-40Bi-0.5Ag 조성의 경우 느린 변형속도에서 특히 눈에 띄는 연신률 값을 나타내며, 모든 변형속도 조건에서 가장 우수한 연성을 나타내었다. 한편 Sn-40Bi-0.1Cu 조성의 경우 변형속도에 따른 연신률의 변화 정도, 즉, 변형속도에 따른 연신률의 민감도가 매우 커 $10^{-4}\;s^{-1}$ 속도에서는 Sn-40Bi-0.5Ag에 버금가는 연신률 값이 측정되었으나, $10^{-2}\;s^{-1}$ 속도에서는 가장 나쁜 연신률 특성을 보여주었다. Sn-40Bi-0.2Mn 조성은 최고의 연신률 향상 특성을 나타내지는 않았으나, In을 첨가한 경우보다는 대체적으로 우수한 연성을 나타내었다. 이상의 각 합금별 연성 특성은 인장시험 전의 미세조직 관찰 결과와 인장시험 후 파면부의 조직변화 관찰 결과로부터 해석되었다. 그 결과 석출상의 형성 여부, 인장 시험 중 재결정 조직의 형성 여부, 라멜라(lamellar) 조직의 분율과 라멜라 간격(lamellar spacing)의 정도 또는 $\beta$-Sn과 라멜라 조직 사이의 결정립계와 라멜라 조직 내 결정립계에서의 슬라이딩 모드(sliding mode) 변형 정도, 석출상의 크기와 분포 정도 등이 연신률 및 변형속도 민감도와 같은 연성 특성에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 인자인 것으로 분석되었다.

The effect of shearing speed on the shear force and energy of Sn-0Ag-0.5Cu solder ball was investigated. Various UBM (under bump metallurgy)'s on Cu pads were used such as ENEPIG (Electroless Nickel, Electroless Palladium, Immersion Gold; Ni/Pd/Au), ENIG (Electroless Nickel, Immersion Gold; Ni/Au), OSP (Organic Solderability Preservative). To fabricate a shear test specimen, a solder ball, $300{\mu}m$ in diameter, was soldered on a pad of FR4 PCB (printed circuit board) by a reflow soldering machine at $245^{\circ}C$. The solder bump on the PCB was shear tested by changing the shearing speed from 0.01 m/s to 3.0 m/s. As experimental results, the shear force increased with a shearing speed of up to 0.6 m/s for the ENIG and the OSP pads, and up to 0 m/s for the ENEPIG pad. The shear energy increased with a shearing speed up to 0.3 m/s for the ENIG and the OSP pads, and up to 0.6 m/s for the ENEPIG pad. With a high shear speed of over 0 m/s, the ENEPIG showed a higher shear force and energy than those of the ENIG and OSP. The fracture surfaces of the shear tested specimens were analyzed, and the fracture modes were found to have closer relationship with the shear energy than the shear force.

The effects of shear speed and tip height on the high speed shear test of Sn-3.0wt.%Ag-0.5wt.%Cu ball joints were investigated. Solder balls of $450{\mu}m$ in diameter were reflowed at $245^{\circ}C$ on a FR4 PCB (Printed Circuit Board) in order to obtain a sample for the high-speed shear test. The UBM was comprised of Cu/Ni/Au, and the shear speed and tip height varied from 0.5 to 3.0 m/s, and from 10 to $135{\mu}m$, respectively. According to the experimental results, faster shear speed enhanced the shear strength of the solder joints, regardless of the tip height. The fraction of ductile (solder) fracture decreased when the shearing speed was raised from 0.5 to 3.0 m/s. With an increasing tip height from 10 to 50 and $135{\mu}m$, the fracture mode changed from pad lift to mixed (ductile and brittle) and ductile fracture, respectively, while the shearing energy also increased in the same order. The shear energy had a proportional relationship with the fraction of the solder fracture.

눈부신 전자산업의 발달로 대부분의 전자제품이 다기능/경박단소화 되고 있어, 고밀도 실장 기술인 양면 표면실장과 고집적 패키징 기술인 패키지 적층 공정의 적용이 점차 확대되고 있다. 따라서 양면 표면실장 및 패키지 적층 공정에 사용되는 저온 접합용 무연 솔더 즉, $183^{\circ}C$(Sn-37Pb 공정 솔더 융점) 이하의 융점을 가지는 저온 무연 솔더에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 한편, 미세피치 적용 분야에 있어 ACF/P를 이용한 COG 접속 분야 외에도 최근 저온 접합용 무연 솔더를 이용한 접속 분야가 각광을 받고 있다. 따라서, 접속피치 미세화에 대응하기 위해 스크린 인쇄성을 향상시킬 수 있는 저온 무연 솔더 paste 제조 및 공정 기술의 개발이 필요한 실정이다. 현재 대표적인 저온 무연 솔더 조성은 Sn-Bi계($138^{\circ}C$ 융점)와 Sn-In계($120^{\circ}C$ 융점)이다. 하지만, 이들 조성의 신뢰성 등에 있어 개선의 여지가 있으므로 이를 해결하기 위한 무연솔더 조성의 개발이 필요하다. 이와 같은 관점에서, 본 연구는 $137^{\circ}C$의 융점을 갖는 Sn-57.6Ag-0.4Ag 저온 무연 솔더 paste를 $217^{\circ}C$의 융점을 갖는 Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu 솔더 paste와 비교하여 인쇄성, reflow 특성, void inspection, 미세조직 관찰 및 underfill 적용 등의 실험을 실시하였다.

This study investigated the characteristics of fracture behavior and mode on solder joints before and after thermal shock test for automotive application component using Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder, which has a outstanding property as lead-free solder. The shear strength was decreased with thermal cycle number, after 432 cycles of thermal shock test. In addition, fracture mode was verified to ductile, brittle fracture and base materials fracture such as different kind fractured mode using SEM and EDS. Before the thermal shock, the fractured mode was found to typical ductile fracture in solder layer. After thermal shock test, especially, Ag was found on fractured portion as roughest surface. Moreover, it occurred delamination between a PCB and a Cu land. Before thermal shock test, most of fractured mode in solder layer has dimples by ductile fracture. However, after thermal shock test, the fractured mode became a combination of ductile and brittle fracture, and it also could find that the fracture behavior varied including delamination between substrate and Cu land.
