In this study, we optimized Pb-free Sn/Ni plating thickness and conditions were optimized to counteract the environmental regulations, such as RoHS and ELV(End-of Life Vehicles). The $B_{10}$ life verification method was also suggested to have been successful when used with the accelerated life test(ALT) for assessing Pb-free solder joint life of piezoelectric (PZT) ceramic resonator. In order to evaluate the solder joint life, a modified Norris-Landzberg equation and a Coffin-Manson equation were utilized. Test vehicles that were composed of 2520 PZT ceramic resonator on FR-4 PCB with Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu for ALT were manufactured as well. Thermal shock test was conducted with 1,500 cycles from $(-40{\pm}2)^{\circ}C$ to $(120{\pm}2)^{\circ}C$, and 30 minutes dwell time at each temperature, respectively. It was discovered that the thermal shock test is a very useful method in introducing the CTE mismatch caused by thermo-mechanical stress at the solder joints. The resonance frequency of test components was measured and observed the microsection views were also observed to confirm the crack generation of the solder joints.

There have been numerous approaches to examine the bonding strengths of solder joints. However, despite the technical and practical limitations, the precedent test methods such as the ball shear and ball pull tests are being used in industrial applications. In this study, the optimum jaw pressure with the modified protrusion jaw was introduced in order to obtain higher successful rate f3r ball pull testing. Furthermore, the pull strengths and fracture modes of Sn-8Zn-3Bi, Sn-4Ag-0.7Cu, and Sn-37Pb eutectic solder after isothermal aging tests ($100^{\circ}C,\;150^{\circ}C$), were evaluated with the protrusion jaw. The pull strength-displacement hysteresis curves and fracture surfaces were carefully investigated to evaluate the correlation between the pull strengths and the fracture modes of each solder. In conclusion, it is verified that Au-Zn IMCs (Intermetallic Compounds) have a detrimental effect on the pull strengths and changed fracture modes of Sn-8Zn-3Bi solder. Meanwhile, the microstructure transformation influences the degradation of pull strengths of Sn-4Ag-0.7Cu and Sn-37Pb solders.

This study was focused on the evaluation of the thermo-mechanical board-level reliability of Pb-bearing and Pb-free surface mount assemblies. The composition of Pb-bearing solder was a typical Sn-37Pb and that of Pb-free solder used in this study was a representative Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu in mass %. Thermal shock test was chosen for the reliability evaluation of the solder joints. Typical $Cu_6Sn_5$ intermetallic compound (IMC) layer was formed between both solders and Cu lead frame at the as-reflowed state, while a layer of $Cu_3Sn$ was additionally formed between the $Cu_6Sn_5$ and Cu lead frame during the thermal shock testing. Thickness of the IMC layers increased with increasing thermal shock cycles, and this is very similar result with that of isothermal aging study of solder joints. Shear test of the multi layer ceramic capacitor(MLCC) joints was also performed to investigate the degradation of mechanical bonding strength of solder joints during the thermal shock testing. Failure mode of the joints after shear testing revealed that the degradation was mainly due to the excessive growth of the IMC layers during the thermal shock testing.

전자 부품에 인체에 유해한 납을 사용하지 않기 위해서 Sn을 주 원소로 한 무연 솔더 합금의 개발이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 무연 솔더 합금의 열역학적, 기계적 특성은 많이 연구되었으나 산화 거동에 대해서는 거의 연구가 되어있지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 Sn 및 Sn-0.7Cu, Sn-3.5Ag, Sn-lZn, Sn-9Zn 합금에 대해 $150^{\circ}C$ 산화 거동을 연구하였다. 전기화학적 환원 분석을 통해 표면에 형성된 산화물의 종류와 양을 분석하여 합금 원소에 따른 산화 거동을 비교하였고 XPS 표면분석을 통하여 환원 실험 결과를 뒷받침하였다. 또한 합금 원소에 따른 산화물 성장 속도를 비교하였다. Sn-0.7Cu 와 Sn-3.5Ag의 경우 Sn의 산화와 비슷한 거동을 보였다. 산화 초기에는 SnO가 형성되고 산화가 진행됨에 따라 SnO 와 $SnO_2$가 같이 존재하되 $SnO_2$가 우세하게 성장하였다. Zn를 포함한 Sn 합금의 경우 ZnO와 $SnO_2$가 형성되었다. Zn의 첨가로 인해 $SnO_2$의 형성이 촉진되었고 SnO는 억제하는 것을 발견하였다.

A packaging technology based on flip-chip bonding and Pb-free solder for silicon pressure sensors on printed circuit board (PCB) is presented. First, the bump formation process was conducted by Pb-free solder. Ag-Sn-Cu solder and the pressed-screen printing method were used to fabricate solder bumps. The fabricated solder bumps had $189-223{\mu}m$ width, $120-160{\mu}m$ thickness, and 5.4-6.9 standard deviation. Also, shear tests was conducted to measure the bump shear strength by a Dage 2400 PC shear tester; the average shear strength was 74 g at 0.125 mm/s of test speed and $5{\mu}m$ shear height. Then, silicon pressure sensor packaging was implemented using the Pb-free solder and bump formation process. The characteristics of the pressure sensor were analogous to the results obtained when the pressure sensor dice are assembled and packaged using the standard wire-bonding technique.

Sn-Ag계 합금은 대표적인 무연 솔더 조성으로 전자제품의 실장 및 접합에 적용되어 왔으며, 태양전지 분야에서도 모듈의 전극과 bus바로 사용되는 등 다양한 분야에서 사용되고 있다. 그러나 최근 Ag 가격의 급격한 상승과 솔더 접합부의 신뢰성을 보다 향상시키고자 Ag의 함량을 줄이고 다원계 합금 조성의 무연 솔더 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 실험에서는 기존의 연구 결과를 바탕으로 Sn-1.0Ag-0.5Cu-0.4In 4원계 무연솔더 조성에 Bi를 첨가하여 최적의 융점과 용융구간을 가지는 5원계 Sn-Ag-Cu-In-Bi 계 솔더 합금을 설계하였다. 이 설계된 합금은 기존의 유연 솔더인 Sn-Pb와 대표적인 무연 솔더인 Sn-3.5Ag와 각각의 특성을 비교 분석하였다. 젖음성을 평가하기 위하여 wetting balance tester를 이용하여 실험을 행하였고 Differential Scanning Calorimetry(DSC)를 분석하여 젖음 정도와 조성 분석 및 고상점과 액상점 등의 녹음 거동을 확인하였다. 또한 각각의 조성별 전단응력에 따른 파괴 거동을 분석하였다.

본 논문에서는 솔더의 온도 변화에 따른 변형 거동을 평가하기 위하여 솔더 재료의 열변형 거동을 파악할 수 있는 전단시편을 고안하여 온도변화에 따르는 열변형 실험과 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 전단시편은 열팽창계수가 다른 두 금속 막대와 그 사이 공간에 접합된 솔더로 구성되어 있으며, 솔더는 유연 솔더 (Sn/36Pb/2Ag)와 무연 솔더 (Sn/3.0Ag/0.5Cu) 두가지를 대상으로 하였다. 실시간 무아레 간섭계를 이용하여 세 온도 사이클 동안의 각 온도단계에서 변 위 분포를 나타내는 간섭무늬를 얻고 그로부터 온도에 따른 유연 솔더와 무연 솔더의 열변형 특성을 비교하였다. 유한요소해석을 통하여 여러 연구자가 제시한 솔더의 점소성 물성치를 평가하였으며 유연 솔더의 경우에는 Darveaux가 제안한 Anand 모델, 무연 솔더의 경우 Chang이 제안한 Anand 모델을 사용한 해석 결과가 실험 결과와 가장 일치한다는 것을 밝혔다. 평가된 재료 모델을 사용하여 무연 솔더와 유연 솔더가 포함된 전단시편을 유한요소 해석하고 솔더의 점소성 거동 을 자세하게 분석하였다.

The ball shea. tests for ball grid array (BGA) and flip chip packages were carried out with different displacement rates to find out the optimum condition of the displacement rate for this test. The BGA packages consisted of two different kinds of solder balls (eutectic Sn-37wt.%Pb and Sn-3.5wt.%Ag) and electroplated Au/Ni/Cu substrate, whereas the flip chip package consisted of electroplated Sn-37Pb solder and Cu UBM. The packages were reflowed up to 10 times, or aged at 443 K up to 21 days. The variation of the displacement rate resulted in the variations of the shear properties such as shear force, displacement rate at break, fracture mode and strain rate sensitivity. The increase in the displacement rate led to the increase of the shear force and brittleness of solder joints.

Due to environmental regulations (RoHS, WEEE and ELV) of the European Union, electronics and automotive electronics have to eliminate toxic substance from their devices and system. Especially, reliability issue of lead-free solder joint is increasing in car electronics due to ELV (End-of-Life Vehicle) banning from 2016. We have prepared engine control unit (ECU) modules soldered with Sn-40Pb and Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu (SAC305) solders, respectively. Degradation characteristics of solder joint strength were compared with various conditions of automobile environment such as cabin and engine room. Thermal cycle test (TC, $-40^{\circ}C$ ~ ($85^{\circ}C$ and $125^{\circ}C$), 1500 cycles) were conducted with automotive company standard. To compare shear strength degradation rate with eutectic and Pb-free solder alloy, we measured shear strength of chip components and its size from cabin and engine ECU modules. Based on the TC test results, finally, we have known the difference of degradation level with solder alloys and use environmental conditions. Solder joints degradation rate of engine room ECU is superior to cabin ECU due to large CTE (coefficient of thermal expansion) mismatch in field condition. Degradation rate of engine room ECU is 50~60% larger than cabin room electronics.

본 연구에서는 electroless nickel / immersion gold (ENIG) 처리된 printed circuit board (PCB)를 무연 솔더인 Sn-3.5(wt%)Ag로 접합하였다. 리플로우 횟수를 1회부터 10회까지 다양하게 하여 리플로우 횟수가 증가함에 따른 솔더 접합부의 기계적, 전기적 특성의 변화에 대해 연구하였다. 접합부의 미세 조직 관찰을 위해 접합부 단면을 폴리싱 하여 금속간 화합물의 두께를 측정하고 종류를 분석하였다. 접합부의 기계적 특성을 평가하기 위해서 die 전단 시험을 하였는데, 리플로우 횟수가 4-5회일 때까지 전단 강도 값이 증가하다가 5회 이후로 감소하였다. 전기적 특성을 알아보기 위해 전기 저항 값을 측정하였는데, 리플로우 횟수가 증가할수록 접합부의 전기 저항 값은 점점 증가하였다.
