Sn-Ag-Cu solder is known as most competitive in many kinds of Pb-free solders. In this study, effects of solderability with plated layers such as Cu, Cu/Sn, Cu/Ni and Cu/Ni/Au were investigated. Sn-3.5Ag-0.7Cu solder balls were reflowed in commercial reflow machine (peak temp. : 250℃ and conveyer speed : 0.6m/min). In wetting test, immersion speed was 5mm/sec., immersion time 5sec., immersion depth 4mm and temperature of solder bath was 250℃. Wettability of Sn-3.5Ag-0.7Cu on Cu, Cu/Sn (5㎛), Cu/Ni (5㎛), and Cu/Ni/Au (5㎛/500Å) layers was investigated. Cu/Ni/Au layer had the best wettability as zero cross time and equilibrium force, and the measured values were 0.93 sec and 7mN, respectively. Surface tension of Sn-3.5Ag-0.7Cu solder turmed out to be 0.52N/m. The thickness of IMC is reduced in the order of Cu, Cu/Sn, Cu/Mi and Cu/Ni/Au coated layer. Shear strength of Cu/Ni, Cu/Sn and Cu was around 560gf but Cu/Ni/Au was 370gf.

Sn-3.5Ag-0.7Cu solder balls were reflowed in commercial reflow machine (peak temp.:$250^{\circ}C$and conveyer speed:0.6m/min). In wetting test, immersion speed was 5mm/sec., immersion time 5sec., immersion depth 4mm and temperature of solder bath was $250^{\circ}C$. Wettability of Sn-3.5Ag-0.7Cu on Cu, Cu/Sn ($5\mu\textrm{m}$), Cu/Ni ($5\mu\textrm{m}$), and Cu/Ni/Au ($5\mu\textrm{m}/500{\AA}$) layers was investigated. Cu/Ni/Au layer had the best wettability as zero cross time and equilibrium force, and the measured values were 0.93 sec and 7mN, respectively. Surface tension of Sn-3.5Ag-0.7Cu solder turmed out to be 0.52N/m. The thickness of IMC is reduced in the order of Cu, Cu/Sn, Cu/Mi and Cu/Ni/Au coated layer.

Sn-9Zn solder balls were bonded to Cu and ENIG (Electroless Nickel/Immersion Gold) pads, and the effect of aging on their joint reliability was investigated. The interfacial products were different from the general reaction layer formed in a Sn-base solder. The intermetallic compounds formed in the solder/Cu joint were $Cu_{5}Zn_{8}$ and $Cu_{6}Sn_{5}$. After aging treatment, voids formed irregularly at the bottom side of the solder because of Sn diffusion into the $Cu_{5}Zn_{8}$ IMC. In the case of the solder/ENIG joint, $AuZn_{3}$ IMCs were formed at the interface. In the case of the Sn-9Zn/ENIG, the shear strength remained nearly constant in spite of aging for 1000 hours at $150^{\circ}C$. On the other hand, in the case of the Sn-9Zn/Cu, the shear strength significantly decreased after aging at $150^{\circ}C$ for 100hours and then remained constant by further prolonged aging. Therefore, the protective plating layer such as ENIG must be used to ensure the mechanical reliability of the Sn-9Zn/Cu joint.

Thermo-mechanical and flexural behavior of a wire-bond plastic ball grid array (WB-PBGA) package are characterized by high sensitive moire interferometry. Moire fringe patterns are recorded and analyzed for several bending loads and temperatures. At the temperature higher than $100^{\circ}C$, the inelastic deformation in solder balls become more dominant, so that the bending of the molding compound decreases while temperature increases. The deformation caused by thermally induced bending is compared with that caused by mechanical bending. The strain results show that the solder ball located at the edge of the chip has largest shear strain by the thermal load while the maximum average shear strain by the bending moment occurs in the end solder.

A flip-chip bonding system using DPSS(Diode Pumped Solid State) Nd:YAG laser(wavelength : 1064nm) which shows a good quality in fine pitch bonding is developed. This laser bonder can transfer beam energy to the solder directly and melt it without any physical contact by scanning a bare chip. By using a laser source to heat up the solder balls directly, it can reduce heat loss and any defects such as bridge with adjacent solder, overheating problems, and chip breakage. Comparing to conventional flip-chip bonders, the bonding time can be shortened drastically. This laser precision micro bonder can be applied to flip-chip bonding with many advantage in comparison with conventional ones.

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.

Automotive today has been transforming to an electronic product by adopting a lot of convenience and safety features, suggesting that joining materials and their mechanical reliabilities are getting more important. In this study, a Sn-Cu-Cr-Ca solder composition having a high melting temperature ($>230^{\circ}C$) was fabricated and its joint properties and reliability was investigated with an aim to evaluate the suitability as a joining material for electronics of engine room. Furthermore, mechanical properties change under complex environment were compared with several existing solder compositions. As a result of contact angle measurement, favorable spreadability of 84% was shown and the average shear strength manufactured with corresponding composition solder paste was $1.9kg/mm^2$. Also, thermo-mechanical reliability by thermal shock and vibration test was compared with that of the representative high temperature solder materials such as Sn-3.5Ag, Sn-0.7Cu, and Sn-5.0Sb. In order to fabricate the test module, solder balls were made in joints with ENIG-finished BGA and then the BGA chip was reflowed on the OPS-finished PCB pattern. During the environmental tests, resistance change was continuously monitored and the joint strength was examined after tests. Sn-3.5Ag alloy exhibited the biggest degradation rate in resistance and shear stress and Sn-0.7Cu resulted in a relatively stable reliability against thermo-mechanical stress coming from thermal shock and vibration.

LIFT(Laser-Induced-Forward-Transfer) 공정은 선택적으로 마이크로 크기의 물질을 이동시키는데 사용할 수 있는 레이저 공정이다. 본 연구에서 이 공정은 전자부품의 마이크로 시스템 패키징을 위한 솔더볼의 적층을 위해 적용되었다. 레이저 펄스에 의해 국부적으로 녹은 솔더 페이스트는 단단한 기저부분에 이동적층되었다. 솔더 크림층을 지닌 박판유리플레이트가 도우너 필름으로 사용되었고 1070nm 파장의 IR 레이저 펄스를 조사하여 리셉터에 마이크로 솔더를 이동적층하였다. 물질 및 에너지 평형 방정식 등이 솔더 페이스 드롭의 모양과 온도 분포를 분석하기 위해 적용되었다. 실제 실험에서 얻어진 이동적층된 솔더 범프는 30~40 ${\mu}m$ 의 직경과 50 ${\mu}m$ 의 두께를 가진 것으로 측정되었다. 본 공정의 한계 및 적용에 대해서도 논의한다.

본 연구에서는 고 융점을 지니는 Sn-3.5Ag, Sn-0.7Cu 솔더의 복합 진동 신뢰성을 고찰하였다. 테스트 샘플은 ENIG (Electroless Nikel Immersion Gold) 표면처리 된 BGA (Ball Grid Array)칩에 Sn-3.5Ag, Sn-0.7Cu 솔더볼을 접합 후, 솔더볼이 장착된 BGA부품을 OSP (Organic Solderability Preservative) 표면처리 된 PCB에 리플로우 공정을 통하여 실장 하였다. 복합 진동 신뢰성 시험 중에 부품의 저항 변화를 측정하기 위하여 BGA칩과 PCB는 데이지 체인을 구성하여 제작하였다. 이를 통한 저항의 변화와 시험 전후의 부품에 대한 전단 강도 시험을 통하여 두 종류의 솔더에 대한 복합환경에서의 신뢰성을 비교, 평가하였다. 120시간 복합 진동 동안 전기저항 증가와 접합강도 저하를 고려할 때 Sn-0.7Cu 솔더가 복합 환경에서 높은 안정성을 나타내었다.
