Abstract: | During the reflowing of Sn-9Zn solder ball grid array (BGA) packages with Au/Ni/Cu and Ag/Cu pads, the surface-finished Au
and Ag film dissolved rapidly and reacted with the Sn-9Zn solder to form a γ3-AuZn4/γ-Au7Zn18 intermetallic double layer and ε-AgZn6 intermetallic scallops, respectively. The growth of γ3-AuZn4 is prompted by further aging at 100°C through the reaction of γ-Au7Zn18 with the Zn atoms dissolved from the Zn-rich precipitates embedded in the β-Sn matrix of Sn-9Zn solder BGA with Au/Ni/Cu
pads. No intermetallic compounds can be observed at the solder/pad interface of the Sn-9Zn BGA specimens aged at 100°C. However,
after aging at 150°C, a Ni4Zn21 intermetallic layer is formed at the interface between Sn-9Zn solder and Ni/Cu pads. Aging the immersion Ag packages at 100°C
and 150°C caused a γ-Cu5Zn8 intermetallic layer to appear between ε-AgZn6 intermetallics and the Cu pad. The scallop-shaped ε-AgZn6 intermetallics were found to detach from the γ-Cu5Zn8 layer and float into the solder ball. Accompanied with the intermetallic reactions during the aging process of reflowed Sn-9Zn
solder BGA packages with Au/Ni/Cu and Ag/Cu pads, their ball shear strengths degrade from 8.6 N and 4.8 N to about 7.2 N and
2.9 N, respectively. |
