- Abstract
- The growth of interfacial intermetallic compound and the brittle fracture behavior of Sn-3.0Ag-0.5-Cu solder (SAC305) joints on electroless nickel immersion gold (ENIG) surface finish have been investigated using Ni-P plating solution at temperatures from 75A degrees C to 85A degrees C and fixed pH of 4.5. SAC305 solder balls with diameter of 450 mu m were mounted on the prepared ENIG-finished Cu pads and reflowed with peak temperature of 250A degrees C. The interfacial intermetallic compound (IMC) thickness after reflow decreased with increasing Ni-P plating temperature. After 800 h of thermal aging, the IMC thickness of the sample prepared at 85A degrees C was higher than for that prepared at 75A degrees C. Scanning electron microscopy of the Ni-P surface after removal of the Au layer revealed a nodular structure on the Ni-P surface. The nodule size of the Ni-P decreased with increasing Ni-P plating temperature. The Cu content near the IMC layer increased to 0.6 wt.%, higher than the original Cu content of 0.5 wt.%, indicating that Cu diffused from the Cu pad to the solder ball through the Ni-P layer at a rate depending on the nodule size. The sample prepared at 75A degrees C with thicker interfacial IMC showed greater high-speed shear strength than the sample prepared at 85A degrees C. Brittle fracture increased with decreasing Ni-P plating temperature.
