Influence of Thermomigration on Lead-Free Solder Joint Mechanical Properties

چکیده
Thermomigration experiments were conducted to study the change in mechanical properties of 95.5Sn–4Ag–0.5Cu (SAC405) lead-free solder joint under high temperature gradients. This paper presents some observations on samples that were subjected to 1000°C /cm thermal gradient (TG) for 286 h, 712 h, and 1156 h. It was observed that samples subjected to thermal gradient did not develop a Cu3Sn intermetallic compound (IMC) layer, and we observed disintegration of Cu6Sn5 IMC. On the other hand, samples subjected to isothermal annealing exhibited IMC growth. In samples subjected to thermomigration, near the cold side the Cu concentration is significantly higher compared with hot side. Extensive surface hardness testing showed an increase in hardness from the hot to cold sides, which possibly indicates that Sn grain coarsening is in the same direction. DOI: 10.1115/1.3068296

Mechanical Properties and Solder Joint Reliability of Low-Melting Sn-Bi-Cu Lead Free Solder Alloy
The influence of alloy composition of lowmelting Sn-Bi-Cu lead-free solder alloys on mechanical properties and solder joint reliabilities were investigated. The mechanically optimum alloy composition is Sn-40Bi-0.1Cu (mass%). The addition of 40mass%Bi improves the ductility and restrains the fillet-lifting, which are problems of lead-free solders with Bi. The addition of copper improves both th...
متن کاملPb phase coarsening in eutectic Pb/Sn flip chip solder joints under electric current stressing
Experimental research on the Pb phase coarsening of eutectic Pb/Sn flip chip solder joint under current stressing is reported. Phase growth is observed under different current densities and temperatures. Higher current density leads to faster grain coarsening. Based on the test results, a grain coarsening equation including the influence of current density is proposed, dn dn 0 1⁄4 Kjmt. The cur...
متن کاملJoints under Electric Current Stresses Experimental Damage Mechanics of Micro / Power Electronics Solder
Experimental damage mechanics of flip chip solder joints under current stressing is studied using 20 test vehicle flip chip modules. Three different failure modes are observed. The dominant damage mechanism is caused by the combined effect of electromigration and thermomigration, where void nucleation and growth lead to the ultimate failure of the module. It is observed that thermomigration dri...
