- Abstract
- The reactions between a Sn 3 0Ag 0 5Cu solder alloy and electroless Ni/electroless Pd/immersion Au (ENEPIG) surface finishes with various Pd layer thicknesses (0, 0 05, 0 1, 0 2, 0 4 mu m) were examined for the effect of the Pd layer on the massive spalling of the (Cu,Ni)(6)Sn-5 layer during reflow at 235 degrees C The thin layer deposition of an electroless Pd (EP) between the electroless Ni (7 mu m) and immersion Au (0 06 mu m) plating on the Cu substrate significantly retarded the massive spalhng of the (Cu,Ni)(6)Sn-5 layer during reflow Its retarding effect increased with an increasing EP layer thickness When the EP layer was thin (<= 0 1 mu m), the retardation of the massive spalhng was attributed to a reduced growth rate of the (Cu,Ni)(6)Sn-5 layer and thus to a lowered consumption rate of Cu in the bulk solder during reflow However, when the EP layer was thick (>= 2 mu m), the initially dissolved Pd atoms in the molten solder resettled as (Pd,Ni)Sn-4 precipitates near the solder/(Cu,Ni)(6)Sn-5 interface with an increasing reflow time Since the Pd resettlement requires a continuous Ni supply across the (Cu,Ni)(6)Sn-5 layer from the Ni(P) substrate, it suppressed the formation of (Ni,Cu)(3)Sn-4 at the (Cu,Ni)(6)Sn-5/Ni(P) interface and retarded the massive spalhng of the (Cu,Ni)(6)Sn-5 layer
