Abstract

Fe-Ni films with compositions of Fe-75Ni, Fe-50Ni, and Fe-30Ni were used as under bump metallization (UBM) to evaluate the interfacial reliability of SnAgCu/Fe-Ni solder joints through ball shear test, high temperature storage, as well as temperature cycling. The shear strength for Fe-75Ni, Fe-50Ni, and Fe-30Ni solder joints after reflow were 42.57, 53.94, 53.98 MPa respectively, which are all satisfied with the requirement of industrialization (>34.3 MPa ). High temperature storage was conducted at 150°C and 200°C respectively. It was found that higher Fe content in Fe-Ni layer had the ability to inhibit the mutual diffusion at interface region at 150°C, and the growth speed of intermetallic compound (IMC) decreased with the increase of Fe concentration. When stored at 200°C, the thickness of IMC would reach a limitation for all these three films after 4 days, and cracks occurred at the interface between IMC and Fe-Ni layer. Temperature cycling tests revealed that SnAgCu/Fe-50Ni solder joint had the lowest failure rate (less than 10%), which has the best interfacial reliability among three compositions.
