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.

In this study, three solders, Sn-37Pb, Sn-3.5Ag, and Sn-3.8Ag-0.7Cu were screen printed on both electroless Ni/Au and OSP metal finished micro-via PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards). The interfacial reaction between PCB metal pad finish materials and solder materials, and its effects on the solder bump joint mechanical reliability were investigated. The lead free solders formed a large amount of intermetallic compounds (IMC) than Sn-37Pb on both electroless Ni/Au and OSP (Organic Solderabilty Preservatives) finished PCBs during solder reflows because of the higher Sn content and higher reflow temperature. For OSP finish, scallop-like $Cu_{6}$ /$Sn_{5}$ and planar $Cu_3$Sn intermetallic compounds (IMC) were formed, and fracture occurred 100% within the solder regardless of reflow numbers and solder materials. Bump shear strength of lead free solders showed higher value than that of Sn-37Pb solder, because lead free solders are usually harder than eutectic Sn-37Pb solder. For Ni/Au finish, polygonal shaped $Ni_3$$Sn_4$ IMC and P-rich Ni layer were formed, and a brittle fracture at the Ni-Sn IMC layer or the interface between Ni-Sn intermetallic and P-rich Ni layer was observed after several reflows. Therefore, bump shear strength values of the Ni/Au finish are relatively lower than those of OSP finish. Especially, spalled IMCs at Sn-3.5Ag interface was observed after several reflow times. And, for the Sn-3.8Ag-0.7Cu solder case, the ternary Sn-Ni-Cu IMCs were observed. As a result, it was found that OSP finished PCB was a better choice for solders on PCB in terms of flip chip mechanical reliability.

전자 부품의 크기가 점점 줄어들고 고집적화됨에 따라 전자 패키지 내부에 사용되는 금속간 간격이 줄어들고 있다. 이에 더하여 고온 고습한 환경에서 금속간에 전압이 인가되면 금속의 이온화가 촉진, 금속으로 이루어진 필라멘트가 형성되어 결국 절연파괴에 이르게 된다. 이러한 현상이 electrochemical migration(ECM)이다. 이에 인쇄회로기판을 사용하여 ECM 특성 평가를 수행하였다. 항온/항습조건($85^{\circ}C,\;85{\%}RH$)에서 PCB의 $300 {\mu}m$의 단자간격을 가진 through-hole via 표면에서 발생하는 ECM 현상은 CAF가 절연파괴의 주된 메커니즘이었다. solder를 구성하는 Sn과 Pb 조성 분석을 통해 Pb 의 이온 이동도가 Sn의 이온 이동도보다 큰 것을 알 수 있었으며 이는 급격한 양극용해 거동을 보이는 pure Pb의 분극거동과 상관관계가 있는 것으로 사료된다. 또한 시간에 따른 절연파괴시간 시험을 통하여 ECM에 의한 절연파괴시간이 인가전압에 의존하며 인가전압 의존성 지수값(n)은 2로 나타났다.

We developed the copper core ball electroplated with Sn-Ag-Cu of the eutectic composition which used mostly as Pb free solder ball with high reliability. In order to search for the practicality of this developed copper core ball, the evaluation was executed by measuring the initial joint strength of the sample mounted on the substrate and reflowed and by measuring the joint strength of the sample after the high temperature leaving test and the constant temperature and the humidity leaving test. This evaluation was compered with those of the usual other copper core balls electroplated with (Sn,Sn-Ag,Sn-Cu,Sn-Bi) and the Sn-Ag-Cu solder ball.

Shear strength of BGA solder joints on Cu pad was studied for Cu-contained Sn n.5 a and 2.5wt.% Cu) and Sn-Pb (o.5wt.% Cu) solders, with emphasis on the roles of the C Cu-Sn intermetallic layer thickness and the roughness of the interface between the i intermetallic layer and solder. The shear strength test was performed both for a as-soldered s이der joints with soldering reaction times of 1, 2, 4 min and for aged s이der j joints at 170 C up to 16 days. The Cu addition to both pure Sn and eutectic Sn-Pb s solders increased the intermetallic layer thickness at both soldering and aging t temperatures. The Cu addition also resulted in changes in the roughness of the interface b between the intermetallic layer and solder at as-soldered states. With increasing Cu c content. the interface roughened for Sn-Cu solders whereas it flattened for Sn-Pb-Cu s solders. The shear fractures in all solder joints investigated were confined in the bulk s solder rather than through the intermetallic layer. Therefore, the effect of Cu content in s solders on the shear strength of the solder joints was primarily attributed to its i influence on the micros$\sigma$ucture of bulk solder, such as the size and spatial distributions of CU6Sn5 precipitates. In addition, the critical intermetallic layer thickness for a m maximum shear strength seemed to depend on the Cu content in bulk solder.older.

Pb-free solder has recently been used in electronics in efforts to meet environmental regulations, and a number of Pb-free solder alloy choices beyond the near-eutectic SnAgCu solder are now available. With increased demand for thin and portable electronics, the high cost of alloys containing significant amounts of silver and their poor mechanical shock performance have spurred the development of low Ag SnAgCu solder, which provides improved mechanical performance at a reasonable cost. Although low Ag SnAgCu solder exhibits significantly higher fracture resistance under high-strain rates, little thermal fatigue data exist for this solder. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate thermal fatigue reliability of low Ag SnAgCu solder under variation of thermal stress in order to allow its implementation in electronic products with high reliability requirements. In this study, the reliability of Sn0.3Ag0.7Cu(SAC0307), a low Ag solder alloy, is discussed and compared with that of Sn3Ag0.5Cu(SAC305). Three sample types and six samples size are evaluated. Mechanical properties and microstructure of the solder joint are investigated under thermal shock cycles. It was observed that the mechanical strength of SAC0307 dropped slightly with thermal cycling relative to that of SAC305. This reveals that the failure mode of SAC0307 is different from that SAC305 under this critical condition.

The long-term reliability of Sn-0.3wt%Ag-0.7wt%Cu solder joints was evaluated and compared with Sn-3.0wt%Ag-0.5wt%Cu under thermal shock conditions. Test vehicles were prepared to use Sn-0.3Ag-0.7Cu and Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder alloys. To compare the shear strength of the solder joints, 0603, 1005, 1608, 2012, 3216 and 4232 multi-layer ceramic chip capacitors were used. A reflow soldering process was utilized in the preparation of the test vehicles involving a FR-4 material-based printed circuit board (PCB). To compare the shear strength degradation following the thermal shock cycles, a thermal shock test was conducted up to 2,000 cycles at temperatures ranging from $-40^{\circ}C$ to $85^{\circ}C$, with a dwell time of 30 min at each temperature. The shear strength of the solder joints of the chip capacitors was measured at every 500 cycles in each case. The intermetallic compounds (IMCs) of the solder joint interfaces werealso analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The results showed that the reliability of Sn-0.3Ag-0.7Cu solder joints was very close to that of Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu. Consequently, it was confirmed that Sn-0.3Ag-0.7Cu solder alloy with a low silver content can be replaced with Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu.

솔더 범프를 사용하는 플립 칩 접속기술에서 범프와 칩 사이에 위치하는 금속 충들의 조합을 UBM(Under Bump Metallurgy)라고 부르며 이 UBM을 어떤 조합으로 사용하는 가에 따라 접속의 안정성이 크게 좌우된다. 본 연구에서는 UBM중에서 솔더 접착 층으로 사용되는 구리 층의 두께를 $1\mu\textrm{m}와 5\mu\textrm{m}$로 하는 한편 barrier 층으로 사용되는 금속 층을 Ti, Ni, Pd으로 변화시키면서 이들 UBM과 공정 납-주석 사이의 계면반응을 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 $100\mu\textrm{m}$ 크기의 솔더 범프를 전해도금법을 사용하여 제작하고 리플로 횟수와 시효시간에 따른 각 UBM에서의 금속간 화합물의 성장을 관찰하였다. $Cu_6Sn_5 \eta'$-상 금속간 화합물이 모든 조건에서 형성되었고 Cu층의 두께가 $5\mu\textrm{m}$로 두꺼운 경우에는 $Cu_3Sn \varepsilon$-상도 관찰되었다. Pd을 사용한 UBM 구조에서는 시효 처리시에 $Cu_6Sn_5$ 상 아래쪽에 $PdSn_4$상이 형성되었다. 또한 이들 계면에서의 금속간 화합물의 성장은 솔더 범프의 접속강도 값과 밀접한 관계를 가진다.

An investigation has been conducted to describe solidification characteristics in Sn-Zn binary system and Sn-Zn-Ag ternary system added by Ag produced by the continuous casting process using heated mold as a basic study for developing Pb-free solder materials. To obtain the continuous casting rods with mirror surface and near net shape at higher casting speed, water flow rates must be increased and mold temperature must be lowered. However, surface tearing in the casting rods occured at lower continuous casting speed while break out occured at higher continuous casting speed even if optimum conditions such as water flow rate and heated mold temperature are determined. Primary ${\alpha}Sn$ and eutectic structure in unidirectioally solidified Sn-Zn alloys were finer with increased casting speed. But, directionality may not be expected for primary Zn in hypereutectic Sn-Zn alloy. It was found that the addition of $0.2{\sim}0.8%$ Ag promoted the growth of primary ${\alpha}Sn$ dendrites. The changes of tensile strength and elongation in Sn-Zn binary alloys were not observed while the increase of tensile strength and the decrease of elongation in Sn-Zn-Ag ternary alloys were observed with increased casting speed.

지금 까지 전자패키지 접합에 사용되어온 Sn/37Pb 솔더는 낮은 용융온도와 우수한 물리적 특성, 그리고 저렴한 가격 등으로 널리 사용되었다. 그러나 납의 독성으로 인한 환경문제와 인체 유해성이 문제화되면서 이를 대체할 무연솔더의 요구가 시급한 실정이다. 또한 제품의 소형화에 따른 접합부의 미세화로 인한 접합부신뢰성이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 현재 Sn/37Pb 솔더를 사용하여 제품에 사용되고 있는 48 $\mu$BGA 패키지를 사용하여 Sn/Ag 계열 의 두 무연솔더인 Sn/3.5Ag/0.75Cu와 Sn/2.0Ag/0.5Cu/2.0Bi를 접합하여 장기신뢰성을 시효처리를 통하여 제시하였다. 시효처리는 $130^{\circ}C$, $150^{\circ}C$, $170^{\circ}C$ 온도에서 각각 300, 600, 900 시간동안 하였으며, 시효처리에 따른 전단강도와 각 솔더의 활성화에너지를 구하여 Sn/37Pb 솔더와 비교하였다. 두 무연솔더의 시효강도는 Sn/37Pb 솔더 보다 우수하였으며, 시효처리에 따라 형성된 솔더내부의 금속간화합물의 형상으로부터 균열의 성장과 형성에 대하여 논하였다. 이런 실험결과들로부터 두 무연솔더의 장기신뢰성 측면에서 대체가능성을 제시하였다.
