Smaller size and higher integration of electronic systems make narrower interconnect pitch not only in chip-level but also in package-level. Moreover electronic systems are required to operate in harsher conditions, that is, higher current / voltage, elevated temperature / humidity, and complex chemical contaminants. Under these severe circumstances, electronic components respond to applied voltages by electrochemically ionization of metals and conducting filament forms between anode and cathode across a nonmetallic medium. This phenomenon is called as the electrochemical migration. Many kinds of metal (Cu, Ag, SnPb, Sn etc) using in electronic packages are failed by ECM. Eutectic SnPb which is used in various electronic packaging structures, that is, printed circuit boards, plastic-encapsulated packages, organic display panels, and tape chip carriers, chip-on-films etc. And the material for soldering (eutectic SnPb) using in electronic package easily makes insulation failure by ECM. In real PCB system, not only metals but also many chemical species are included. And these chemical species act as resources of contamination. Model test systems were developed to characterize the migration phenomena without contamination effect. The serpentine-shape pattern was developed for analyzing relationship of applied voltage bias and failure lifetime by the temperature / humidity biased(THB) test.

The electroplating process for a solder bump which can be applied for a flip chip was studied. Si-wafer was used for an experimental substrate, and the substrate were coated with UBM (Under Bump Metallization) of Al(400 nm)/Cu(300 nm)Ni(400 nm)/Au(20 nm) subsequently. The compositions of the bump were Sn-Cu and eutectic Sn-Pb, and characteristics of two bumps were compared. Experimental results showed that the electroplated thickness of the solders were increased with time, and the increasing rates were TEX>$0.45 <\mu\textrm{m}$/min for the Sn-Cu and $ 0.35\mu\textrm{m}$/min for the Sn-Pb. In the case of Sn-Cu, electroplating rate increased from 0.25 to $2.7\mu\textrm{m}$/min with increasing current density from 1 to 8.5 $A/dm^2$. In the case of Sn-Pb the rate increased until the current density became $4 A/dm^2$, and after that current density the rate maintains constant value of $0.62\mu\textrm{m}$/min. The electro plated bumps were air reflowed to form spherical bumps, and their bonded shear strengths were evaluated. The shear strength reached at the reflow time of 10 sec, and the strength was of 113 gf for Sn-Cu and 120 gf for Sn-Pb.

본 연구에서는 융점 이상에서의 유지시간에 따른 Sn-3.5Ag 및 Sn-37Pb 공정솔더볼과 Au/Ni/Cu 기판 사이의 야금학적 특성을 고찰하였다. 현재 상용되는 리플로 솔더링 장비를 사용하여, 최고 솔더링 온도와 Conveyor 속도를 변화시킴으로써 융점이상에서의 유지시간을 측정하였다. 결과로서 접합부 계면에서 스캘럽 형태의 $Ni_3Sn_4$금속간화합물이 형성되었고, Cu-Sn계 화합물은 관찰되지 않았다. Ni층이 Cu의 확산 장벽으로 작용하였다. 최고 솔더링 온도가 증가함에 따라 금속간화합물 층의 두께가 최고 2.2$\mu\textrm{m}$까지 성장하였다. 스캘럽의 형상은 반구형에서 지름이 더 작은 볼록한 형상으로 변하게 된다. 접합부의 미세경도값은 Sn-3.5Ag와 Sn-37Pb의 공정조직이 성장함에 따라 감소하였다.

BGA(ball grid array) package에서 솔더볼의 피로강도에 대한 솔더 조성에 대한 영향을 조사하기 위하여 패키지 신뢰성 시험을 실시하였다. 공정조성 솔더 63Sn/37Pb, 62Sn/36Pb/2Ag, 63Sn/34.4Pb/2Ag/0.5Sb 솔더를 이용하여 제조된 시편을 MRT Lv3 (moisture resistance test level) 조건에서 전처리 후 T/C(temperature cycle test) 실험을 수행하였다. 각각의 신뢰성 시험에 대하여 전단강도를 측정하였으며, 미세 조직 사진을 얻었다. 또한, SEM (scanning electron microscope)과 EDX (energy dispersive X-ray)를 이용하여 파괴 기구에 대한 분석을 실시하였다. Sn63Pb34.5Ag2Sb0.5 솔더에서 Au-Sn 성장비는 63Sn/37Pb, 62Sn/36Pb/2Ag 솔더에 비해 느리다 솔더 조성에 따른 솔더볼의 전단응력 저하에 대하여 논의하였다.

As environmental concerns increasing, the electronics industry is focusing more attention on lead free solder alternatives. In this research, we have researched wettability of intermediate solder of Sn3Ag9Bi5In, which include In and Bi and has similar melting temperature to Sn37Pb eutectic solder. We investigated the wetting property of Sn3Ag9Bi5In. To estimate wettability of Sn3Ag9Bi5In solder on various substrates, the wettability of Sn3Ag9Bi5In solder on high-pure Cu-coupon was measured. Cu-coupon that plated Sn, Ni and Au/Ni and Si-wafer adsorbed Ni/Cu under bump metallurgy on one side. As a result, the wetting property of Sn3Ag9Bi5In solder is a little better than that of Sn37Pb and Sn3.5Ag.

The Sn-Pb eutectic solder bump formation ($150\mu\textrm{m}$ diameter, $250\mu\textrm{m}$ pitch) by electroplating was studied for flip chip package fabrication. The effect of current density and plating time on Sn-Pb deposit was investigated. The morphology and composition of plated solder surface was examined by scanning electron microscopy. The plating thickness increased wish increasing time. The plating rate became constant at limiting current density. After the characteristics of Sn-Pb plating were investigated, Sn-Pb solder bumps were fabricated in optimal condition of $7A/dm^$. 4hr. Ball shear test after reflow was performed to measure adhesion strength between solder bump and UBM (Under Bump Metallurgy). The shear strength of Sn-Pb bump after reflow was higher than that of before reflow.

This paper introduces the partial melting process for solder application and characterization of its possibility using off-eutectic Pb-Sn alloy. In order to show that the liquid phase in the semi-liquid state maintains the wettability as the single-phase liquid, the wetting balance test are conducted with varying temperatures and compositions. The results are then compared with the surface tension of liquid, both measured and calculated, to examine the correlation. The results from this investigation indicate that the partial melting can yield satisfactory solder joints as long as the liquid phase acquires sufficient chemical activity. At a condition where the partial melting is effective, a direct correlation between the wettability and the surface tension is found to exist. All alloys are found to show a reasonable wettability in semi-liquid state.
