Abstract

Package reliability test was conducted to investigate the effect of solder composition on the ball fatigue strength for BGA (Ball Grid Array) packaging. The test pieces are assembled using eutectic composition 63Sn/37Pb, 62Sn/36Pb/2Ag, and 63Sn/34.4Pb/2Ag/0.5Sb solder after pre-conditioning at MRT Lv 3 (Moisture Resistance Test Level) and then conducted under T/C (Temperature Cycle test). For each case, the ball shear strength was obtained and micro structure photos were taken. SEM (scanning electron microscope) and EDX (Energy Dispersive X-ray) were used to the analyze failure mechanism. The growth rate of Au-Sn intermetallic compound in Sn63Pb34.5Ag2Sb0.5 solder was slow when compared to 63Sn/37Pb solder and 62Sn/36Pb/2Ag solder. The degradation of shear strength of solder balls caused by solder composition was discussed.

BGA(ball grid array) package에서 솔더볼의 피로강도에 대한 솔더 조성에 대한 영향을 조사하기 위하여 패키지 신뢰성 시험을 실시하였다. 공정조성 솔더 63Sn/37Pb, 62Sn/36Pb/2Ag, 63Sn/34.4Pb/2Ag/0.5Sb 솔더를 이용하여 제조된 시편을 MRT Lv3 (moisture resistance test level) 조건에서 전처리 후 T/C(temperature cycle test) 실험을 수행하였다. 각각의 신뢰성 시험에 대하여 전단강도를 측정하였으며, 미세 조직 사진을 얻었다. 또한, SEM (scanning electron microscope)과 EDX (energy dispersive X-ray)를 이용하여 파괴 기구에 대한 분석을 실시하였다. Sn63Pb34.5Ag2Sb0.5 솔더에서 Au-Sn 성장비는 63Sn/37Pb, 62Sn/36Pb/2Ag 솔더에 비해 느리다 솔더 조성에 따른 솔더볼의 전단응력 저하에 대하여 논의하였다.
