Abstract

Induction Self Heat Reflow (ISHR) technology, which has the advantages of 3-D selective heating and high heating speed, can solve the problems which can't be controlled in traditional reflow technologies, such as inhomogeneous heating of ball grid array (different bumps), simultaneous heating of chip and carrier with solder ball, etc., which have been increasingly serious with the development of packaging technology. In this paper, the results of the aging experiment and bump shear experiment of Sn3.5Ag and Sn3Ag0.5Cu solder bumps reflowed on the Au/Ni/Cu pad respectively are used for evaluating the reliability of the bumps manufactured through ISHR. It is shown that the bumps can supply sufficient shear strength for use. Three kinds of different shear failure behaviors controlled by different failure mechanisms are observed. During the aging time a continual pure Ni3Sn4 layer exists at the interface of Sn3.5Ag solder bumps, and dispersed (Aux,Ni1-x)Sn 4 inside solder matrix. Two quaternary Au-Ni-Cu-Sn IMC layers, (Cu,Ni,Au)3Sn close to Ni layer and (Cu,Ni,Au)6Sn 5 close to solder bulk, existed at the interface of the Sn3.0Ag0.5Cu bump after aging. IMC thickness increased linearly with square root of aging time. The IMC growth was a diffusion controlled process.
