ABSTRACT |
Intermetallic compounds (IMCs) developed on the interface between a solder alloy and its bonding pads are an important factor in the failure of electronic circuits. In this study, the mechanical behaviors of the IMCs formed in the Cu-Ni-Sn ternary alloy system are investigated. Presumably, Ni can act as a diffusion barrier to Cu and Sn to form the IMCs. Detailed analysis of the microstructure is conducted using an electron probe micro-analyzer (EPMA). The addition of Ni softened the IMCs, which is determined based on the fracture toughness increasing (from 0.71 to 1.55 MPa√m) with the Ni layer thickness. However, above a critical amount of Ni involved in the Cu-Sn IMCs, the softening effect is diminished, and this could result from the segregation of Ni inside the IMCs. Therefore, the optimized condition must be determined in order to obtain a positive Ni effect on enhancing the reliability of the electronic circuits. |
