| Popis: | The effects of surface finishes on the in situ interfacial reaction characteristics of ball grid array (BGA) Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu lead-free solder bumps were investigated under annealing and electromigration (EM) test conditions of 130°C to 175°C with 5.0 × 103 A/cm2. During reflow and annealing, (Cu,Ni)6Sn5 intermetallic compound (IMC) formed at the interface of electroless nickel immersion gold (ENIG) finish. In the case of both immersion Sn and organic solderability preservative (OSP) finishes, Cu6Sn5 and Cu3Sn IMCs formed. Overall, the IMC growth velocity of ENIG was much lower than that of the other finishes. The activation energies of total IMCs were found to be 0.52 eV for ENIG, 0.78 eV for immersion Sn, and 0.72 eV for OSP. The ENIG finish appeared to present an effective diffusion barrier between the Cu substrate and the solder, which leads to better EM reliability in comparison with Cu-based pad systems. The failure mechanisms were explored in detail via in situ EM tests. |
