Popis: In this study, we investigated the brittle fracture behavior of Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu (SAC305) solder joints with a Direct Electroless Gold (DEG) surface finish, formed using laser-assisted bonding (LAB) and mass reflow (MR) techniques. Commercial SAC305 solder balls were used to ensure consistency. LAB increases void fractions and coarsens the primary β-Sn phase with higher laser power, resulting in a larger eutectic network area fraction. In contrast, MR produces solder joints with minimal voids and a thicker intermetallic compound (IMC) layer. LAB-formed joints exhibit higher high-speed shear strength and lower brittle fracture rates compared to MR. The key factor in the reduced brittle fracture in LAB joints is the thinner IMC layer at the joint interface. This study highlights the potential of LAB in enhancing the mechanical reliability of solder joints in advanced electronic packaging applications.
