This paper presents a method, which helps to understand and control interactions between dissimilar materials in electronics packaging assemblies. The method consisting of thermodynamic and kinetic modeling combined with detailed microstructural analysis is introduced first. The method will then be demonstrated using three examples. First one is taken from an IC metallization level, and explains why...
Intermetallic compound (IMC) formed in the interfacial reaction may exert much influence on the reliability of soldering joint. So, effective prediction of IMC formation at soldering joint may do help to optimize the packaging process. Recently, a semi-empirical criterion has been proposed in our group to predict the formation of intermetallic compounds (IMC) at the interface between different pure...
The Cu6Sn5 intermetallic compound is generated at the interface between OSP substrate and Sn-3.5Ag based solder containing small amount of Co or Ni additives. A small fraction of Co or Ni additive is probed in Cu6Sn5-based crystal structure, which occupies the crystal space sites of Cu atoms. The first-principle approach within the density functional theory is employed herein to explore the favorite...
