A novel, maskless, low-volume bumping material, called solder bump maker, which is composed of a resin and low-melting-point solder powder, has been developed. The resin features no distinct chemical reactions preventing the rheological coalescence of the solder, a deoxidation of the oxide layer on the solder powder for wetting on the pad at the solder melting point, and no major weight loss caused by out-gassing. With these characteristics, the solder was successfully wetted onto a metal pad and formed a uniform solder bump array with pitches of 120 ${\mu}m$ and 150 ${\mu}m$.

A novel bumping process using solder bump maker is developed for the maskless low-volume solder on pad (SoP) technology of fine-pitch flip chip bonding. The process includes two main steps: one is the aggregation of powdered solder on the metal pads on a substrate via an increase in temperature, and the other is the reflow of the deposited powder to form a low-volume SoP. Since the surface tension that exists when the solder is below its melting point is the major driving force of the solder deposit, only a small quantity of powdered solder adjacent to the pads can join the aggregation process to obtain a uniform, low-volume SoP array on the substrate, regardless of the pad configurations. Through this process, an SoP array on an organic substrate with a pitch of $130{\mu}m$ is successfully formed.

Recently, flip chip interconnection has been increasingly used in microelectronic assemblies. The common Flip chip interconnection is formed by reflow of the solder bumps. Lead-Tin solders and Tin-based solders are most widely used for the solder bump materials. However, the flip chip interconnection using these solder materials cannot be applied to temperature-sensitive components since solder reflow is performed at relatively high temperature. Therefore the development of low temperature bonding technologies is required in these applications. A few bonding techniques at low temperature of $150^{\circ}C$ or below have been reported. They include the reflow soldering using low melting point solder bumps, the transient liquid phase bonding by inter-diffusion between two solders, and the bonding using low temperature curable adhesive. This paper reviews various low temperature bonding methods.

The fluxless wetting properties of UBM-coated Si-wafer to the binary lead-free solders(Sn-Ag, Sn-Sb, Sjn-In, Sn0Bi) were estimated by wetting balance method. With the new wettability indices from the wetting curves of one side coated specimen, the wetting property estimation of UBM-coated Si-wafer was possible. For UBM of Si-chip, Au/Cu/Cr UBm was better than au/Ni/TI in the point of wetting time/ At general reflow process temperature, the wettability of high melting point solders(Sn-Sb, Sn-Ag) was better than that of low melting point one(Sn-Bi, Sn-In). The contact angle of the one side coated Si-plate to the solder could be calculated from the force balance equation by measuring the static state force and the tilt angle.

고 신뢰도와 높은 물성을 갖는 이방성 전도성접착제(anisotropic conductive adhesive, ACA)용 레진 개발을 위하여, 환원특성을 갖는 카르복실산을 포함한 bisphenol F계열의 에폭시 레진에 저융점 솔더입자(low melting point alloys, LMPA)를 분산시켜 제조하였다. LMPA의 융점에서의 에폭시 레진의 경화특성 및 온도에 따른 유변학 특성을 동적 시차 주사 열량계(differential scanning calorimeter, DSC)와 레오미터(rheometer)로 측정하여 최적화된 ACA 접합 공정을 설계하였다. 접합 공정시 LMPA 표면에 생성되는 산화막을 제거하여 높은 전기전도도와 안정적인 전기적 특성을 얻을 수 있도록 세가지 종류의 카르복실산을 환원제로 사용하여 각각의 젖음(wetting) 특성을 확인하였다. 부틸 카르복실산은 $28^{\circ}$의 낮은 젖음각을 나타내었으나, 경화반응 중 다량의 기포가 발생하는 문제가 있었다. 그러나, 이관능성 카르복실산(1,3-bis(2-carboxypropyl)tetramethyl disaoxane(2-CTMS)) 및 1,3-bis(3-carboxypropyl)tetramethyl disiloxane(3-CTMS))의 경우, 기포의 발생 없이 각각 $18^{\circ}$와 $20.3^{\circ}$의 매우 우수한 젖음 특성을 보였다.

Electrically Conductive Adhesives(ECAs) with solderable particles have been developed as an alternative to Pb-free solders. Our previous study proved that good wettability of solder particle is a prerequisite for the establishment of conduction paths. In this paper, two types of ECAs were formulated and the wetting characteristic low-melting-point Sn-In solder on Cu and Ni/Au pads was investigated. It was found that Sn-In solder in the developed resin material with reduction capability shows good wettability, especially on Cu pad.

This paper reviews our recent research works on the interconnection technologies in electronic packaging and assembly. At the aspect of advanced joining methods, laser-ultrasonic fluxless soldering technology was proposed. The characteristic of this technology is that the oxide film was removed through the vibration excitated by high frequency laser change in the molten solder droplet. Application researches of laser soldering technology on solder bumping of BGA packages were carried out. Furthermore, interfacial reaction between SnPb eutectic solder and Au/Ni/Cu pad during laser reflow was analyzed. At the aspect of soldered joints' reliability, the system for predicting and analyzing SMT solder joint shape and reliability(PSAR) has been designed. Optimization design method of soldered joints' structure was brought forward after the investigation of fatigue failure of RC chip devices and BGA packages under temperature cyclic conditions with FEM analysis and experimental study. At the aspect of solder alloy design, alloy design method based on quantum was proposed. The macroproperties such as melting point, wettability and strength were described by the electron parameters. In this way, a great deal of the experimental investigations was replaced, so as to realize the design and research of any kinds of solder alloys with low cost and high efficiency.

The conventional SnPb solders were widely used for several decades in the electronic packing system due to the superior mechanical properties such as low melting point, better wettavility and good mechanical fatigue. However, in recent years, owing to adverse effect on the human health and environment, conventional SnPb solders have been replaced by Lead-free solders. In this research, the shear punch(SP) test of Sn-4Ag-(Cu)/Ni pad was performed. Pb-free solder alloys which are the environmentally friendly of the electronic components were performed at $150^{\circ}C$ for 100hr~1000hr to artificial aging processing. In order to evaluate the mechanical properties of solder joints, the SP test was conducted at $30^{\circ}C$ and $50^{\circ}C$. As a result, the maximum shear strength of almost the whole specimens was decreased with the increase in aging time and temperature of SP test. The mechanical properties of Sn-4Ag-0.5Cu solder were most excellent in all Pb-free solder which were produced by the SP test at $30^{\circ}C$.

In the soldering industry, a variety of lead-free solders have been developed as a part of restricting lead in electronic packaging. Sn-Ag-Cu (SAC) lead-free solder is regarded as one of the most superior candidates, owing to its low melting point and high solderability as well as the mechanical property. On the other hand, the mechanical property of SAC solder is directly influenced by intermetallic compounds (IMCs) in the solder joint. Although IMCs in SAC solder play an important role in bonding solder joints and impart strength to the surrounding solder matrix, a large amount of IMCs may cause poor strength, due to their brittle nature. In other words, the mechanical properties of SAC solder are of some concern because of the formation of large and brittle IMCs. As the IMCs grow, they may cause poor device performance, resulting in the failure of the electronic device. Therefore, new solder technologies which can control the IMC growth are necessary to address these issues satisfactorily. There are an advanced nanotechnology for microstructural refinement that lead to improve mechanical properties of solder alloys with nanoparticle additions, which are defined as nano-reinforced solders. These nano-reinforced solders increase the mechanical strength of the solder due to the dispersion hardening as well as solderability of the solder. This paper introduces the nano-reinforced solders, including its principles, types, and various properties.
