Abstract
The present study is carried out to characterise the ball shear strengths of ceramic ball grid array (CBGA) and plastic ball grid array (PBGA) packages with lead-free solder pastes. Three commercially available Sn/Ag/Cu (SAC) solder pastes such as Sn 96.5/Ag3.0/Cu0.5 and 95.5/Ag3.8/Cu0.7 with a no-clean flux are employed. The effects of temperature profiles during reflow on the strength of solder joints are studied. Their printing abilities are also observed. Of particular concern for ceramic ball grid array packages is the interaction between 90/10 Pb/Sn compound solder balls and SAC solder pastes. The composition of the solder paste region between the I/O pad and the solder ball is analysed using the energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) machine.
