Abstract

In this paper, formation and growth of intermetallic compounds in Cu/Ni/Au/PbSn solder bump via laser reflow was investigated. Effects of laser radiation time on the growth of intermetallic compounds at solder/Au/Ni/Cu pad interface were studied by SEM. Dissolution and diffusion of Au and Sn inside the solder bump within laser heating time was analyzed by AES. it was shown that reaction zone consists of two continuous AuSn2 and AuSn 4 intermetallic layers, identified by EDX, when laser heating time was 50ms under 20W. With the laser reflow time increasing to 200ms, all AuSn2 converts into AuSn4, and some acicular AuSn 4 intermetallics grow form the continuous AuSn4 layer into the solder, aligning perpendicularly to the interface. AES results showed that Au atoms dissolve rapidly into the solder upon laser heating. As a result, the concentration of Au reaches its solubility limit within 50ms, which explains why Au-Sn intermetallic can form and grow at interface in such short time.
