The performance and fracture mechanism of solder joints under mechanical reliability test

چکیده
The drop resistance and fracture behavior of Sn–37Pb, Sn–3.0Ag–0.5Cu (SAC305), Sn–1.0Ag–0.5Cu (SAC105), and Sn–8.5Zn–0.5Ag–0.01Al–0.1 Ga (SnZn-5e) solder ball joints under the board-level drop test (BLDT) and the ball impact test (BIT) were studied. The results show that the drop reliabilities in terms of the characteristic life ratio from theWeibul plot are SnZn-5e : Sn–37Pb:SAC105:SAC305 = 3.1:2.9:2.1:1. It was observed that failure of Sn–37Pb occurred at the eutectic tin–lead phase whereas it took place at the brittle interface between the (Cu,Ni)6Sn5 inter-metallic compound and Ni layer in SAC305. The failure of SAC105 was found to be located within the solder matrix as well as at the interface of the inter-metallic compound. The failure of SnZn-5e depends on the morphology of the interfacial inter-metallic compound. The failure modes of Sn–37Pb and SAC305 after the BIT were similar to those after the BLDT. The maximum impact force (Fmax) and the initial fracture energy (E) from the BIT can be used to evaluate the drop reliability of solder joints. 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

متن کاملBoard Level Reliability Evaluation of Low Silver (ag) Content Lead-free Solder Joints at Low Strain Rates
To improve the durability of lead free solder joints under high strain rates, such as drop and shock loading, some area array manufacturers have converted to low silver (Ag) content tin silver copper (SAC) solder spheres instead of the commonly accepted SAC305 solder. While the lower silver content SAC solder joints may address high strain rate shock loads, the durability of these joints under ...
