The wettability of newly developed Sn-2.8Ag-0.5Cu-1.0Bi lead-free solder on Cu and Ni substrates was assessed through the
wetting balance tests. The wettability assessment parameters such as contact angle (ϑc) and maximum wetting force (Fw) were documented for three solder bath temperatures with three commercial fluxes, namely, no-clean (NC), nonactivated (R),
and water-soluble organic acid flux (WS). It was found that the lead-free Sn-2.8Ag-0.5Cu-1.0Bi solder exhibited less wetting
force, i.e., poorer wettability, than the conventional Sn-37Pb solder for all flux types and solder bath temperatures. The
wettability of Sn-2.8Ag-0.5Cu-1.0Bi lead-free solder on Cu substrate was much higher than that on Ni substrate. Nonwetting
for Sn-2.8Ag-0.5Cu-1.0Bi and Sn-Pb solders on Ni substrate occurred when R-type flux was used. A model was built and simulations
were performed for the wetting balance test. The simulation results were found very close to the experimental results. It
was also observed that larger values of immersion depth resulted in a decrease of the wetting force and corresponding meniscus
height, whereas the increase in substrate perimeter enhanced the wettability. The wetting reactions between the solder and
Cu/Ni substrates were also investigated, and it was found that Cu atoms diffused into the solder through the intermetallic
compounds (IMCs) much faster than did the Ni atoms. Rapid formation of IMCs inhibited the wettability of Sn-2.8Ag-0.5Cu-1.0Bi
solder compared to the Sn-Pb solder. 相似文献

Comparative study of interfacial reactions of Sn-Ag-Cu and Sn-Ag solders on Cu pads during reflow soldering 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The interfacial reaction in soldering is a crucial subject for the solder-joint integrity and reliability in electronic packaging
technology. However, electronic industries are moving toward lead-free alloys because of environmental concerns. This drive
has highlighted the fact that the industry has not yet arrived at a decision for lead-free solders. Among the lead-free alloys,
Sn-3.5Ag and Sn-3.5Ag-0.5Cu are the two potential candidates. Here, detailed microstructural studies were carried out to compare
the interfacial reaction of Sn-3.5Ag and Sn-3.5Ag-0.5Cu solder with a ball grid array (BGA) Cu substrate for different reflow
times. The Cu dissolution from the substrate was observed for different soldering temperatures ranging from 230°C to 250°C,
and the dissolution was found to increase with time and temperature. Dissolution of Cu in the Sn-3.5Ag solder is so fast that,
at 240°C, 12 μm of the Cu substrate is fully consumed within 5 min. Much less dissolution is observed for the Sn-3.5Ag-0.5Cu
solder. In respect to such high dissolution, there is no significant difference observed in the intermetallic compound (IMC)
thickness at the interface for both solder alloys. A simplistic theoretical approach is carried out to find out the amount
of Cu6Sn5 IMCs in the bulk of the solder by the measurement of the Cu consumption from the substrate and the thickness of the IMCs
that form on the interface. 相似文献

This study compares the high-Ag-content Sn-3Ag-0.5Cu with the low- Ag-content Sn-1Ag-0.5Cu solder alloy and the three quaternary solder alloys Sn-1Ag-0.5Cu-0.1Fe, Sn-1Ag-0.5Cu-0.3Fe, and Sn-1Ag-0.5Cu-0.5Fe to understand the beneficial effects of Fe on the microstructural stability, mechanical properties, and thermal behavior of the low-Ag-content Sn-1Ag-0.5Cu solder alloy. The results indicate that the Sn-3Ag-0.5Cu solder alloy possesses small primary β-Sn dendrites and wide interdendritic regions consisting of a large number of fine Ag3Sn intermetallic compound (IMC) particles. However, the Sn-1Ag-0.5Cu solder alloy possesses large primary β-Sn dendrites and narrow interdendritic regions of sparsely distributed Ag3Sn IMC particles. The Fe-bearing SAC105 solder alloys possess large primary β-Sn dendrites and narrow interdendritic regions of sparsely distributed Ag3Sn IMC particles containing a small amount of Fe. Moreover, the addition of Fe leads to the formation of large circular FeSn2 IMC particles located in the interdendritic regions. On the one hand, tensile tests indicate that the elastic modulus, yield strength, and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) increase with increasing Ag content. On the other hand, increasing the Ag content reduces the total elongation. The addition of Fe decreases the elastic modulus, yield strength, and UTS, while the total elongation is still maintained at the Sn-1Ag-0.5Cu level. The effect of aging on the mechanical behavior was studied. After 720 h and 24 h of aging at 100°C and 180°C, respectively, the Sn-1Ag-0.5Cu solder alloy experienced a large degradation in its mechanical properties after both of the aging conditions, whereas the mechanical properties of the Sn-3Ag-0.5Cu solder alloy degraded more dramatically after 24 h of aging at 180°C. However, the Fe-bearing SAC105 solder alloys exhibited only slight changes in their mechanical properties after both aging procedures. The inclusion of Fe in the Ag3Sn IMC particles suppresses their IMC coarsening, which stabilizes the mechanical properties of the Fe-bearing SAC105 solder alloys after aging. The results from differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) tests indicate that the addition of Fe has a negligible effect on the melting behavior. However, the addition of Fe significantly reduces the solidification onset temperature and consequently increases the degree of undercooling. In addition, fracture surface analysis indicates that the addition of Fe to the Sn-1Ag-0.5Cu alloy does not affect the mode of fracture, and all tested alloys exhibited large ductile dimples on the fracture surface. 相似文献

Three kinds of Sn-Ag-based lead-free solders, Sn-3.5Ag-0.7Cu, Sn-3.5Ag-0.5Cu-0.07Ni-0.01Ge, and Sn-3.5Ag-0.07Ni (in wt.%),
were selected to explore the effect of microelements (Ni and Ge) on the interfacial reaction between the solder and the Cu
substrate. The thickness of the interfacial intermetallics formed with the Sn-3.5Ag-0.5Cu-0.07Ni-0.01Ge and Sn-3.5Ag-0.07Ni
solders is several times that of the Sn-3.5Ag-0.7Cu solder. The added microelements converted the feature of interfacial intermetallics
from pebble shape to worm shape. However, the results of x-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis suggest that the interfacial intermetallics
formed with both solders have the same crystal structure. The results of energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analysis show
that the major interfacial intermetallic formed with the Sn-3.5Ag-0.7Cu solder is Cu6Sn5, while it is (Cux,Ni1−x)6Sn5 with Sn-3.5Ag-0.5Cu-0.07Ni-0.01Ge. Ni influences the interfacial intermetallics and plays the influential role on the difference
of interfacial reaction rate between liquid solder and solid Cu and the morphology of interfacial intermetallics. Additionally,
the growth kinetics of the interfacial intermetallic compounds (IMCs) formed in the systems of Cu/Sn-3.5Ag-0.7Cu and Cu/Sn-3.5Ag-0.07Ni
at high-temperature storage was also explored. 相似文献

The Sn-3.5Ag and Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu ball-grid-array solder balls bonded onto Ni/Au metallization exhibited different interfacial
morphology after both wetting and solid-state reactions. In contrast to the eutectic-SnPb solder system, both Pb-free systems
showed higher solder-ball shear strength after annealing. Reprecipitation of Au as (Au,Ni)Sn4 at the interface, as shown in the eutectic-SnPb solder system, was not observed in both Pb-free solder systems. Instead,
Ni3Sn4 and Cu-Sn-Ni-Au intermetallic compounds (IMCs) were found in the SnAg and SnAgCu systems, respectively. In the SnAgCu system,
a thick, acicular-Cu-Sn-Ni IMC formed after wetting, but a faceted-Cu-Sn-Ni-Au phase was found with longer annealing. The
growth of this interfacial phase in the Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder system was also slightly inhibited by the addition of Cu, with
a formation energy of about 200 kJ/mol. 相似文献

Dissolution behavior of Cu and Ag substrates in molten solders 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This study investigated the dissolution behavior of Cu and Ag substrates in molten Sn, Sn-3.5Ag, Sn-4.0Ag-0.5Cu, Sn-8.6Zn
and Sn-8.55Zn-0.5Ag-0.1Al-0.5Ga lead-free solders as well as in Sn-37Pb solder for comparison at 300, 350, and 400°C. Results
show that Sn-Zn alloys have a substantially lower dissolution rate of both Cu and Ag substrates than the other solders. Differences
in interfacial intermetallic compounds formed during reaction and the morphology of these compounds strongly affected the
substrate dissolution behavior. Soldering temperature and the corresponding solubility limit of the substrate elements in
the liquid solder also played important roles in the interfacial morphology and dissolution rate of substrate. 相似文献

We developed a new lead-free solder alloy, an Sn-Ag-Cu base to which a small amount of Ni and Ge is added, to improve the
mechanical properties of solder alloys. We examined creep deformation in bulk and through-hole (TH)␣form for two lead-free
solder alloys, Sn-3.5Ag-0.5Cu-Ni-Ge and Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu, at elevated temperatures, finding that the creep rupture life of the
Sn-3.5Ag-0.5Cu-Ni-Ge solder alloy was over three times better than that of the Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder at 398 K. Adding Ni to
the solder appears to make microstructural development finer and more uniform. The Ni added to the solder readily combined
with Cu to form stable intermetallic compounds of (Cu, Ni)6Sn5 capable of improving the creep behavior of solder alloys. Moreover, microstructural characterization based on transmission
electron microscopy analyses observing creep behavior in detail showed that such particles in the Sn-3.5Ag-0.5Cu-Ni-Ge solder
alloy prevent dislocation and movement. 相似文献

The intermetallic compounds (IMCs) formed at the interface between the Sn-9Zn-1.5Ag-0.5Bi lead-free solder alloy and unfluxed
Cu substrate have been investigated by x-ray diffraction, optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive
spectrometry (EDS). The melting point and melting range of the Sn-9Zn-1.5Ag-0.5Bi solder alloy are determined as 195.9°C and
10°C, respectively, by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Cu6Sn5 and Cu5Zn8 IMCs are formed between the Sn-9Zn-1.5Ag-0.5Bi/unfluxed Cu substrate wetted at 250°C for 10 sec. The interfacial adhesion
strength changes from 10.27±0.68 MPa to 8.58±0.59 MPa when soldering time varies from 10 sec to 30 sec at 250°C. 相似文献

In this work, we present ball impact test (BIT) responses and fractographies obtained at an impact velocity of 500 mm/s on
Sn-4Ag-0.5Cu, Sn-1Ag-0.5Cu, Sn-1Ag-0.5Cu-0.05Ni, Sn-1.2Ag-0.5Cu-0.05Ni, and Sn-1Ag-0.5Cu-0.05Ge package-level solder joints.
The solder joints are bonded on substrate pads of either immersion tin (IT) or direct solder on pad (DSOP) surface finishes.
Differences of BIT results with respect to multi-reflow are also reported. Taking the impact energy as an indication of board-level
drop reliability of the solder joints, the BIT results indicate that better reliability can be achieved by adopting Sn-Ag-Cu
solder alloys with low Ag weight contents as well as IT substrate pad finish rather than DSOP. Moreover, the addition of Ni
or Ge to the solder alloy provides a large improvement; Ni alters the interfacial intermetallic compound (IMC) structure while
Ge enhances the mechanical behavior of the bulk solder. 相似文献

The Sn-3.5Ag-0.5Cu (wt.%) is the most promising replacement for the eutectic tin-lead solder alloy. Here, an investigation
has been carried out to compare the interfacial reactions of the Cu pad of a ball grid array (BGA) substrate with molten eutectic
Sn-3.5% Ag-0.5% Cu solder having different volumes. Two different sizes of BGA solder balls were used: 760-μm and 500-μm diameter.
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to measure the consumed thickness of the Cu and also the thickness of the intermetallic
compound (IMC). The soldering reaction was carried out at 230°C, 240°C, and 250°C for 1 min, 5 min, 10 min, and 20 min. The
Cu consumption was much higher for the Sn-Ag-Cu solder with higher volume. On the other hand, the mean thickness of the intermetallics
for solder with smaller volume was thicker than that of the bigger solder balls. The Cu3Sn compound was also observed at the interface between the Cu6Sn5 IMCs and Cu substrate for longer reflow for the both solder balls. Larger Cu6Sn5 IMCs were observed in the bulk of the solder with bigger volume. A simplistic theoretical approach is carried out to find
out the amount of Cu6Sn5 IMCs in the bulk of the solder by measurement of the Cu consumption from the substrate and the thickness of the IMCs that
form on the interface. 相似文献

Microstructure, solderability, and growth of intermetallic compounds of Sn-Ag-Cu-RE lead-free solder alloys 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

The near-eutectic Sn-3.5 wt.% Ag-0.7 wt.% Cu (Sn-3.5Ag-0.7Cu) alloy was doped with rare earth (RE) elements of primarily Ce
and La of 0.05–0.25 wt.% to form Sn-3.5Ag-0.7Cu-xRE solder alloys. The aim of this research was to investigate the effect
of the addition of RE elements on the microstructure and solderability of this alloy. Sn-3.5Ag-0.7Cu-xRE solders were soldered
on copper coupons. The thickness of the intermetallic layer (IML) formed between the solder and Cu substrate just after soldering,
as well as after thermal aging at 170°C up to 1000 h, was investigated. It was found that, due to the addition of the RE elements,
the size of the Sn grains was reduced. In particular, the addition of 0.1wt.%RE to the Sn-3.5Ag-0.7Cu solder improved the
wetting behavior. Besides, the IML growth during thermal aging was inhibited. 相似文献

The comparison study of Sn-10Bi and Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder alloys and joints was conducted. The results showed that the liquidus of Sn-10Bi solder alloy was lower than that of Sn-Ag-Cu slightly. The interfacial IMCs layer growth of Sn-10Bi/Cu was slower than that of Sn-Ag-Cu/Cu during liquid/solid reaction. The higher strength and lower creep strain rate of Sn-10Bi comparing with that of Sn-Ag-Cu were contributed by the solid solution strengthening effect of Bi atom in β-Sn phase. The ultimate bending load of Sn-10Bi joint was higher than that of Sn-Ag-Cu joint as the high strength of Sn-10Bi solder alloy. Moreover, the thinner and more flat IMCs layer also ensured the stable maximum bending displacement of Sn-10Bi joint at a loading speed of 1 mm/s compared with that of Sn-Ag-Cu joint. 相似文献

The formation and growth of intermetallic compounds (IMCs) in lead-free solder joints, during soldering or subsequent aging,
have a significant effect on the thermal and mechanical behavior of solder joints. In this study, the effects of a 0.2wt.%Zn
addition into Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu (SAC) lead-free solder alloys on the growth of IMCs with Cu substrates during soldering and subsequent
isothermal aging were investigated. During soldering, it was found that a 0.2wt.%Zn addition did not contribute to forming
the IMC, which was verified as the same phase structure as the IMC for Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu/Cu. However, during solid-state isothermal
aging, the IMC growth was remarkably depressed by the 0.2 wt.% Zn addition in the SAC solder matrix, and this effect tended
to be more prominent at higher aging temperature. The activation energy for the overall IMC growth was determined as 61.460
and 106.903 kJ/mol for Sn-Ag-Cu/Cu and Sn-Ag-Cu-0.2Zn/Cu, respectively. The reduced diffusion coefficient was confirmed for
the 0.2Zn-containing solder/Cu system. Also, thermodynamic analysis showed the reduced driving force for the Cu6Sn5 IMC with the addition of Zn. These may provide the evidence to demonstrate the depressing effect of IMC growth due to the
0.2wt.%Zn addition in the Sn-Ag-Cu solder matrix. 相似文献

Morphology and Growth of Intermetallics at the Interface
of Sn-based Solders and Cu with Different Surface Finishes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Ruihong Zhang Fu Guo Jianping Liu Hao Shen Feng Tai 《Journal of Electronic Materials》2009,38(2):241-251
Several types of surface finishes have been applied on Cu substrates in an effort to facilitate bonding and improve the reliability
of lead-free solder joints. In the current research, the effects of printed circuit board surface finishes on the reliability
of the solder joints were investigated by examining the morphology and growth behavior of the intermetallic compounds (IMCs)
between Sn-based solders and different surface finishes on Cu. Three types of Cu substrates with different surface finishes
were fabricated in this study: organic solderability preservative (OSP)/Cu, Ni/Cu, and electroless nickel immersion gold (ENIG)/Cu.
Sn-3.5Ag and Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu were used as the solders. In the experiment, the solder joint specimens were aged isothermally
at 150°C for up to 1000 h. Experimental results revealed that the OSP surface finish promoted the interdiffusion between Cu
and Sn during soldering. The composition and morphology of the IMC layer at the solder/Ni/Cu interface were sensitive to the
Cu concentration in the solder. Meanwhile, the solder joints with different morphological features of the IMCs exhibited significant
differences in shear strengths. The Au-containing ENIG surface finish affected the shear strength of the solder joint significantly
at the initial stage of isothermal aging. 相似文献

In this study, the contact angles of four lead-free solders, namely, Sn-3.5Ag, Sn-3.5Ag-4.8Bi, Sn-3.8Ag-0.7Cu, and Sn-0.7Cu
(wt.%), were measured on copper substrates at different temperatures. Measurements were performed using the sessile-drop method.
Contact angles ranging from 30° to 40° after wetting under vacuum with no fluxes and between 10° and 30° with rosin mildly
activated (RMA) and rosin activated (RA) fluxes were obtained. The Sn-3.5Ag-4.8Bi exhibited the lowest contact angles, indicating
improved wettability with the addition of bismuth. For all soldering alloys, lower contact angles were observed using RMA
flux. Intermetallics formed at the solder/Cu interface were identified as Cu6Sn5 adjacent to the solder and Cu3Sn adjacent to the copper substrate. The Cu3Sn intermetallic phase was generally not observed when RMA flux was used. The effect of temperature on contact angle was dependent
on the type of flux used. 相似文献

This study was focused on the formation and reliability evaluation of solder joints with different diameters and pitches for flip chip applications. We investigated the interfacial reaction and shear strength between two different solders (Sn-37Pb and Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu, in wt.%) and ENIG (Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold) UBM (Under Bump Metallurgy) during multiple reflow. Firstly, we formed the flip chip solder bumps on the Ti/Cu/ENIG metallized Si wafer using a stencil printing method. After reflow, the average solder bump diameters were about 130, 160 and 190 μm, respectively. After multiple reflows, Ni3Sn4 intermetallic compound (IMC) layer formed at the Sn-37Pb solder/ENIG UBM interface. On the other hand, in the case of Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder, (Cu,Ni)6Sn5 and (Ni,Cu)3Sn4 IMCs were formed at the interface. The shear force of the Pb-free Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu flip chip solder bump was higher than that of the conventional Sn-37Pb flip chip solder bump. 相似文献

Sn-Cu、Sn-Ag-Cu系无铅钎料的钎焊特性研究 总被引:17,自引:5,他引:12
制备了Sn-0.7Cu、Sn-3.5Ag-0.6Cu钎料,用润湿平衡法测量了钎料对铜的润湿曲线,研究了温度、钎剂活性、钎焊时间对润湿行为的影响,并与Sn-37Pb钎料进行了比较。结果表明:升高温度能显著改善无铅钎料对铜的钎焊性。当温度<270℃时,Sn-0.7Cu的钎焊性明显低于Sn-3.5Ag-0.6Cu钎料;而当温度≥270℃时,两种钎料对铜都会显示较好的润湿性,而Sn-0.7Cu略优于Sn-3.5Ag-0.6Cu钎料。提高钎剂活性能显著增强钎料对铜的润湿性,其卤素离子的最佳质量分数均为0.4%左右。随着浸渍时间的延长,熔融钎料与铜的界面间产生失润现象。无铅钎料的熔点和表面张力较高,是钎焊性较差的根本原因。 相似文献

A comparative study of solid/solid interfacial reactions of electroless Ni-P (15 at.% P) with lead-free solders, Sn-0.7Cu,
Sn-3.5Ag, Sn-3.8Ag-0.7Cu, and pure Sn, was carried out by performing thermal aging at 150°C up to 1000 h. For pure Sn and
Sn-3.5Ag solder, three distinctive layers, Ni3Sn4, SnNiP, and Ni3P, were observed in between the solder and electroless Ni-P; while for Sn-0.7Cu and Sn-3.8Ag-0.7Cu solders, two distinctive
layers, (CuNi)6Sn5 and Ni3P, were observed. The differences in morphology and growth kinetics of the intermetallic compounds (IMCs) at the interfaces
between electroless Ni-P and lead-free solders were investigated, as well as the growth kinetics of the P-enriched layers
underneath the interfacial IMC layers. With increasing aging time, the coarsening of interfacial Ni3Sn4 IMC grains for pure Sn and Sn-3.5Ag solder was significantly greater than that of the interfacial (CuNi)6Sn5 IMC grains for Sn-0.7Cu and Sn-3.8Ag-0.7Cu solders. Furthermore, the Ni content in interfacial (CuNi)6Sn5 phase slightly increased during aging. A small addition of Cu (0.7 wt.%) resulted in differences in the type, morphology,
and growth kinetics of interfacial IMCs. By comparing the metallurgical aspects and growth kinetics of the interfacial IMCs
and the underneath P-enriched layers, the role of initial Cu and Ag in lead-free solders is better understood. 相似文献
