合金化对Sn-Zn系无铅焊料抗腐蚀性能的影响

随着人们环保意识的提高,无铅焊料替代传统的锡铅焊料成为电子行业的必然趋势。Sn-Zn系无铅焊料因为熔点接近传统锡铅焊料,且具有优良的力学性能而被广泛关注,有望替代传统焊料。目前Sn-Zn系无铅焊料在润湿性、抗氧化性、抗腐蚀性等方面存在一定的问题。其中,焊料的抗腐蚀性对电子产品的寿命和安全起着决定性作用,因此,具有良好的抗腐蚀性能是开发无铅焊料的关键之一。就当下研究比较成熟的Sn-Zn系焊料的抗腐蚀性能进行研究。指出了元素合金化对Sn-Zn焊料的影响,并对抗腐蚀机理进行阐述。     

无铅电子钎料合金蠕变性能研究

设计制作了一种简单可靠的弯折蠕变测量装置,比较了两种无铅电子钎料合金Sn-9Zn和Sn-3.5Cu-0.7Ag与传统电子钎料合金Sn-40Pb的常温蠕变性能,以及冷却条件对其蠕变强度的影响。结果表明:两种无铅钎料的抗蠕变性能大大优于传统锡铅钎料;Sn-3.5Ag-0.7Cu合金的抗蠕变性能优于Sn-9Zn合金;冷却速率对Sn-9Zn合金和Sn-3.5Ag-0.7Cu合金组织的影响类似,然而对蠕变强度的影响却相反:水冷使两种合金的组织相对于空冷都明显细化,Sn-9Zn合金的蠕变强度因之降低,而Sn-3.5Ag-0.7Cu合金的蠕变强度却因之提高。对可能产生的原因进行了讨论。

在实施无铅焊接工艺前应考虑的几个问题

前言：多年来，锡铅焊料在电子元器件的焊接中起到了重要的作用，然而，近十几年来，由于人们对其赖以生存的环境越来越重视，所以，对锡铅焊料的使用加以限制乃至完全取缔。因此，国际上各有关生产厂家研制出各种不同的锡铅焊料替代产品，即：无铅焊料。在实际的生产应用中这些替代产品还不能够完全与锡铅焊料蓖关，在兼容性和可靠性等方面还需进一步完善。本文主要对实施无铅焊接前应考虑到可能出现的问题，并针对无铅焊料在生产中出现的问题做一些简要的分析，以防止类似缺陷的产生或少出现这样的问题。[编者按]     

无铅焊料的新发展

在铅焊料的标准流程中用无铅元件

随着欧洲的RoHS和WEEE指令已于2006年7月1日开始执行,许多元件供应商面临着使其产品符合无铅环境的挑战。两个指令都要解决将铅从元件中去除的问题。半导体公司必须选择高性价比、与含铅焊料逆向兼容,并与无铅焊料前向兼容的无铅镀层策略。逆向兼容表示无铅元件能够用锡铅（SnPb）焊料回流工艺安放在PCB上。前向兼容表示目前的锡铅工艺能够在面板组装中,与无铅焊料一起使用。

无铅组装中焊点可靠性评估—Steve Dowds．Circuits Assembly

尽管研究在继续，目前最可靠的选择仍然是锡／银／铜合金(尽管铅可能在组装中的任何地方出现)。一旦从电路板面层、元件和紧固件中除去了铅，锡／银/铋合金的低熔点和改进的可润湿性可能证明更可取。作者还发现，整体合金性质，包括疲劳强度和连接强度，对无铅焊料的可靠性不是有意义的指标。而且，在低温和应变范围内，无铅焊料表现出高达锡铅焊料两倍的疲劳寿命，最后，仍没有抗疲劳焊料的迹象。     

Dispersoid additions to a Pb-free solder for suppression of microstructural coarsening

The Bi-43%Sn eutectic solder alloy is a candidate for lead-free replacement of the widely used Pb-Sn solders. The alloy exhibits a microstructural instability at elevated service temperatures causing extensive coarsening and nonuniformity in microstructure and severe creep deformation. The addition of insoluble dispersoid particles using a novel magnetic distribution technique has been found to significantly reduce the coarsening and the onset of tertiary creep. With improved microstuctural stability, the useful service range of the Bi-Sn eutectic solder can be raised to a higher homologous temperature.     

The characteristics of vibration fracture of Pb-Sn and lead-free Sn-Zn eutectic solders

This work investigated the fatigue fracture characteristics of Sn-7∼11wt.%Zn and Sn-30∼50wt.%PPb solder alloys under resonant vibration. For the alloys containing proeutectic Sn-rich grains, the results show stratum appearance on the deformation of coarse proeutectic grains. This stratum-type deformation will reduce the vibration resistance of Pb-Sn solder by inducing cracks. For the Sn-Zn system, fine eutectic structure will cause cracks to form and coalesce easily in the regions concentrated with small fibrous deformation grains, whereas hypereutectic structure shows coarse proeutectic Zn-rich particles as the crack initiation sites. Sn-t-Zn solders have better damping capacity than Pb-Sn solders. With hypoeutectic composition to induce stratum-type deformation and under lower vibration strain, these lead-free solders tend to exhibit superior crack propagation resistance, and, in that respect, are possible to replace Pb-Sn solders.

Wetting Kinetics of Eutectic Lead and Lead-Free Solders: Spreading over the Cu Surface

Wetting kinetics of Sn, eutectic Sn-Ag, eutectic Sn-Cu, and eutectic Pb-Sn was studied using real-time in situ monitoring of the triple-line movement, facilitated by a hot-stage microscopy system under a controlled atmosphere. Significantly different kinetics of lead versus lead-free solders is documented. In case of the eutectic lead solder, four characteristic spreading stages were identified. Spreading of lead-free solders features two stages with a sharp change of the spreading rate at the early stages of rather insignificant spreading. Scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy analysis of the resolidified solder surface within a halo region is discussed.     

Analysis of ring and plug shear strengths for comparison of lead-free solders

The drive to replace the use of toxic lead metal and its alloys has spurred the development of many new lead-free solder alloys. Moreover, current leaded solders lack shear strength, resistance to creep and to thermal-mechanical fatigue. Solder that exhibits enhancements of these properties and retains solderability is crucial in applications where the solder joints are subjected to thermal cycling, severe vibrations, and temperatures of up to 125°C. Modified ring and plug joints were made with 18 selected lead-free solders and three well characterized lead-containing solders. Analysis of the results provides a guide for the design of additional testing.

Enhancing the microstructure and tensile creep resistance of Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder alloy by reinforcing nano-sized ZnO particles

Sn-Ag-Cu lead-free solders are regarded as a potential substitute for Pb-Sn solder alloys. In the current study, the non-reacting, non-coarsening ZnO nano-particles (ZnO NPs) were successfully incorporated into Sn–3.0Ag–0.5Cu (SAC305) lead-free solder by mechanical mixing of ZnO powders and melting at 900 °C for 2 h. Tensile creep testing was performed for plain SAC305 solder and SAC305-0.7 wt% ZnO NPs composite solders and a Garofalo hyperbolic sine power-law relationship was created from the experimental data to predict the creep mechanism as a function of tensile stress and temperature. Based on the tensile creep results, the creep resistance of SAC305 solder alloy was improved considerably with ZnO NPs addition, although the creep lifetime was increased. From microstructure observation, reinforcing ZnO NPs into SAC305 solder substantially suppressed the enlargement of Ag₃Sn and Cu₆Sn₅ intermetallic compound (IMC) particles and decreased the spacing of the inter-particles between them, reduced the grain size of β-Sn and increased the eutectic area in the alloy matrix. The modification of microstructure, which leaded to a strong adsorption effect and high surface-free energy of ZnO NPs, could result in hindering the dislocation slipping, and thus provides standard dispersion strengthening mechanism. Moreover, the average activation energy (Q) for SAC305 and SAC305-0.7ZnO alloys were 50.5 and 53.1 kJ/mol, respectively, close to that of pipe diffusion mechanism in matrix Sn.     

Investigation of Gold Nanoparticle Inks for Low-Temperature Lead-Free Packaging Technology

Gold nanoparticle inks were investigated as a potential candidate for lead-free packaging applications. Inks consisted of surfactant-passivated nanoparticles dissolved in a solvent. Optimized gold inks are able to sinter at temperatures as low as 120°C and achieve conductivities of up to 70% of bulk. Once sintered, the metallic structure reverts to bulk-like properties and approaches bulk reliability and performance. Thus nanoparticle-based solders would operate at much lower homologous temperatures as compared with alloy-based solders. Nanoparticle inks under investigation were sintered at 180°C. The resulting material exhibited a resistivity of 5 μΩ cm, which is significantly lower than those of Pb-Sn and Sn-Ag-Cu. Electromigration studies were carried out and time to failure was investigated as a function of temperature. Electromigration activation energy was calculated through Black’s equation to be 0.52 eV, which is consistent with surface/grain boundary diffusion. These studies suggest that nanoparticle-ink-based films show excellent robustness, due to their irreversible conversion to bulk-like materials. Nanoparticle inks are thus promising candidates for next-generation lead-free solders.
