Abstract
This paper investigates the electromigration-induced failures of SnAg3.8Cu0.7 flip-chip solder joints. An under-bump metallization (UBM) of a Ti/Cr-Cu/Cu trilayer was deposited on the chip side, and a Cu/Ni(P)/Au pad was deposited on the BT board side. Electromigration damages were observed in the bumps under a current density of 2×104 A/cm2 and 1×104 A/cm2 at 100°C and 150°C. The failures were found to be at the cathode/chip side, and the current crowding effect played an important role in the failures. Copper atoms were found to move in the direction of the electron flow to form intermetallic compounds (IMCs) at the interface of solder and pad metallization as a result of current stressing.
