Effects of solder volume on formation and redeposition of Au- containing intermetallics in Au/Ni-SnAgCu-Ni(P) solder joints

چکیده
SnAgCu is one of the most promising candidates for lead-free solders to replace conventional eutectic SnPb solders. The effects of solder volume on interfacial reactions and microstructure evolution in Au/Ni-SnAgCu-Ni(P) solder joints have been investigated under soldering and thermal aging conditions. The results show that solder volume has a strong effect on the formation of Au-containing intermetallic compounds (IMCs) and their redeposition at the interfaces. The size and volume fraction of Aucontaining IMCs dispersed in the solder bulk increased with decreasing the solder joint dimensions. For the small solder joint with 300 μm solder ball, the (Au,Ni)Sn4 IMCs redeposited to the interfaces after thermal aging at 150°C for 9 days, but this was not observed for the other two solder joints with large solder volume. This results also

متن کاملCross-interaction of Interfacial Reactions in Ni (au/ni/cu)-snag-cu Solder Joints during Reflow Soldering and Thermal Aging
The coupling effect of interfacial reactions between two pads in Ni-SnAg-Cu and Au/Ni/Cu-SnAg-Cu solder joints was investigated in this paper. After reflow soldering, a large amount of Cu can diffuse across the solder joint to the opposite pad to form (Cu,Ni)6Sn5 IMC on the Ni pad in Ni-SnAg-Cu solder joint. A little Ni can also be detected in Cu6Sn5 layer, which contains some trapped solder, o...
متن کاملEffects of process conditions on reliability, microstructure evolution and failure modes of SnAgCu solder joints
In this study, microstructure evolution at intermetallic interfaces in SnAgCu solder joints of an area array component was investigated at various stages of a thermal cycling test. Failure modes of solder joints were analyzed to determine the effects of process conditions on crack propagation. Lead-free printed-circuit-board (PCB) assemblies were carried out using different foot print designs o...

متن کاملThe Morphology Evolution and Voiding of Solder Joints on QFN Central Pads with a Ni/Au Finish
In this paper, we report on a comprehensive study regarding the morphology evolution and voiding of SnAgCu solder joints on the central pad of two different packages – QFN and an Agilent package called TOPS – on PCBs with a Ni/Au surface finish. Samples were isothermally aged at the equivalent of 0, 2, 7 and 14 years service life. Representative solder joints were cross-sectioned and analyzed u...
