In this study, in order to obtain a high reflectivity for the LED lead frame, tin dip coating and tin plating were conducted respectively, and wettability of LED lead frame with tin solder also was tested by wetting balance tester. A Cu sheet was plated in Cu brighten electroplating bath and followed by immersion in a Sn electro-less plating bath [1]. On the other hand, in the dip coating process, a Cu sheet was dipped into molten tin. In the progress of wetting test, besides wetting balance curve, the maximum measured force($F_m$), the maximum withdrawal force($F_w$) and zero-cross time($t_0$) were obtained in various temperatures. With the maximum withdrawal force, the surface tension was calculated at different temperatures. The Cu sheet plated with bright Cu and Sn show a silver bright property while that of Cu dipped with Sn possessed a high reflectance density of 1.34GAM at $270^{\circ}C$.

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.

The wetting property and reflectivity of Sn-3.5Ag solder which was dip coated on a LED lead frame were investigated. The wettability of molten solder on Cu substrate was evaluated by the wetting balance tester, and surface tension was calculated from maximum withdrawal force and withdrawal time. Temperature of the molten solder in a bath was varied in the range of $250-290^{\circ}C$. With increasing temperature, the surface tension decreased a little. The reflectivity of Sn-3.5Ag coated on a substrate became a little lower than the highest current LED lead frame reflectivity.

The wettability of Sn-Xwt%Cu(X=$0{\sim}3wt%$) solder was evaluated with wetting balance tester. And, the intermetallic compounds(IMCs) which were formed at the interface between solders and pads were investigated by using scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS). The wetting force of Sn-0.7wt%Cu solder was higher than that of 100wt%Sn and Sn-3.0wt%Cu solder. The value of $\gamma_{fl}$ and ($\gamma_{fs}-\gamma_{ls}$) had a tendency to increase with increasing the wetting temperature. The activation energy with bare Cu pad and flux with 15% solid content was increased in the following order: Sn-0.7Cu (68.42 kJ/mol) ; Sn-3.0Cu(72.66 kJ/mol) ; Sn solder(94.53 kJ/mol). It was identified that the Cu6Sn5 phase was formed at the interface between Sn-Xwt%Cu solder and Cu pad.

본 연구에서는 LED lead frame을 위한 Sn-3.5Ag 솔더의 젖음 특성과 반사율에 관하여 조사하였다. 금속기판과 액체금속간의 젖음성은 wetting balance tester를 이용하여 평가하였으며, 최대인출력, 최대인출시간 등을 측정하고 표면장력을 계산하였다. Sn-3.5Ag 솔더를 $250{\sim}290^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 젖음성을 측정하였는데 온도가 증가함에 따라 젖음성이 향상되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 솔더가 도금된 Cu-coupon의 반사율을 측정하였는데 $270^{\circ}C$에서 가장 높은 반사율을 나타냈다.
