Popis: The influence of oxidation of an Al-Cr-Ni-Ag multilayer metallization on the adhesion of Sn-5wt%Sb solder was investigated. Oxidation of the multilayer metallization prevents the solder from wetting the multilayer metallization uniformly. The nonuniform wetting of the solder caused localization of thermal stress on the wetted regions and promoted differential degradation of the regions. The interface between Ni and Ag was oxidized when exposed to air without cooling to a low temperature. The nickel oxide at the interface prevented the formation of metallurgical bonds between the multilayer metallization and the molten solder. In some interface regions where the molten solder eliminated the nickel oxide either chemically or physically, the solder wetted the multilayer metallization but did not wet in the regions where the nickel oxide was not eliminated.
