- The Sn-3.5Ag and Sn-4.0Ag-0.5Cu solders on Au/electroless Ni(P) metallization exhibited different interfacial morphologies after high temperature storage (HTS) at 150 °C. Ni 3 Sn 4 intermetallic compounds (IMCs) were found in the Sn-Ag system, while for the Sn-Ag-Cu system the IMCs consisted of two kinds of interfacial reactions. For the Sn-3.5Ag solder, the Ni 3 Sn 4 IMC particles lost adhesion/contact to the electroless Ni(P) layer and clear gap was observed in the samples after high temperature storage (HTS) aging for 1000 h. In the Sn-4.0Ag-0.5Cu solder joint, both (Cu,Ni) 6 Sn 5 and (Ni,Cu) 3 Sn 4 compounds were observed after HTS aging. Since the difference in nucleation site and growth rate for kinds of IMCs, (Cu,Ni) 6 Sn 5 was observed at top and (Ni,Cu) 3 Sn 4 at bottom when the interfacial compound layer became thicker as a function of thermal aging. Some voids were found between the electroless Ni(P) interface and the Sn-Ag solder after 168 and 500 h of thermal aging, while the clear gap between the solder and the Ni layer existed after 1000 h aging. The formation mechanism for this gap could be the interconnection and growth of the voids. In the Sn-Ag-Cu system, voids were found inside the Sn-Ni-Cu ternary interfacial compounds after 500 and 1000 h. The formation mechanism for these voids was thought to be Kirkendall effect or etching process. The interfacial layer of Sn-Ag-Cu solder on electroless Ni(P) coating showed the better thermal stable than eutectic Sn-Ag solder. © 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

- Purpose To determine the Coffin-Manson (CM) equation constants for fatigue life estimation of Sn-8Zn-3Bi solder joints, since Sn-8Zn-3Bi solder has a melting temperature of around 199°C which is close to that of the conventional Sn-Pb solder which has previously been used in the electronics assembly industry. Design/methodology/approach Three dimensional finite element (FE) simulation analysis was used for comparison with the experimentally measured data and to determine the CM constants. Low cycle fatigue tests and FE simulations were carried out for these lead-free solder joints, and eutectic Sn-37Pb solder was used as a reference. Findings The CM equation for Sn-8Zn-3Bi solder joints was fitted to the lifetimes measured and the shear strains simulated. The constants were determined to be 0.0294 for C, the proportional constant, and for the fatigue exponent, β, −2.833. Originality/value The CM equation can now be used to predict the reliability of Sn-8Zn-3Bi solder joints in electronics assembly and the knowledge base for the properties of the Sn-Zn solder system has been increased.

Reliability Investigation for Encapsulated Isotropic Conductive Adhesives Flip Chip Interconnection

- Isotropic conductive adhesives (ICA) are gaining more and more application interests in electronic manufacturing, however, their failure mechanism is not been fully understood. In this paper we present reliability investigations on an encapsulated ICA flip chip interconnection. Experimental work included product lifetime measurement, cross section observation, and whole module warpage scanning. Results revealed that the chip-size effect on the ICA lifetime was obvious. A theoretical analysis was conducted with Finite Element Method (FEM) simulation. Viscoelastic models for adhesives and underfill materials were employed, and the comparison with an elastic model was made. Calculated equivalent stresses S eqv and shear stress σ xy fitted well with the experimental lifetime measurement, thus a lifetime relationship similar to the Coffin-Manson formula was established to predict the thermal fatigue life of an encapsulated ICA flip chip. Furthermore, the influences of underfill properties on the ICA reliability were discussed. Copyright © 2006 by ASME.
