Abstract

Abstract Intermetallic compounds(IMC) formed at Sn-Ag-Cu solder droplet/pad interface during wetting reaction were investigated. Comparative studies of the IMC evolution during reflow and aging were also conducted. The results show that the wetting reaction between molten solder droplet and pad leads to the formation of Au-Sn compound at interface, but Au element is not fully consumed during wetting reaction. After reflow, all Au layer disappears from the interface, Au element is dissolved into solder and Au-Sn intermetallic compounds are precipitated in the bulk. Reaction between Ni layer and Sn-Ag-Cu solder leads to the formation of (CU x Ni 1- x ) 6Sn 5 layer at interface during reflow. According to the thermodynamic-kinetic of interfacial reaction, the wetting reaction at solder droplet/pad interface influences the phase selectivity of IMC evolution during reflow and aging process.
