Abstract: | Ti/Ni(V)/Cu underbump metallization (UBM) is widely used in flip-chip technology today. The advantages of Ti/Ni(V)/Cu UBM
are a low reaction rate with solder and the lack of a magnetic effect during sputtering. Sn atoms diffuse into the Ni(V) layer
to form a Sn-rich phase, the so-called Sn-patch, during reflow and aging. In this study, the relationship between interfacial
reaction and mechanical properties of the solder joints with Ti/Ni(V)/Cu UBM was evaluated. Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder was reflowed
on sputtered Ti/Ni(V)/Cu UBM, and then the reflowed samples were aged at 125°C and 200°C, respectively. (Cu,Ni)6Sn5 was formed and grew gradually at the interface of the solder joints during aging at 125°C. The Sn-patch replaced the Ni(V)
layer, and (Ni,Cu)3Sn4 was thus formed between (Cu,Ni)6Sn5 and the Sn-patch at 200°C. The Sn-patch, composed of Ni and V2Sn3 after reflow, was transformed to V2Sn3 and amorphous Sn during aging. Shear and pull tests were applied to evaluate the solder joints under various heat treatments.
The shear force of the solder joints remained at 421 mN, yet the pull force decreased after aging at 125°C. Both the shear
and pull forces of the solder joints decreased during aging at 200°C. The effects of aging temperature on the mechanical properties
of solder joint were investigated and discussed. |
