Solder Joint Interface Study

Interfaces of the Solder Joints after TC 1k cycles

Sample Preparation
The boards used
  • Layer: 6 layers
  • Land finish materials
    Ni(min. 0.5um)/Au(0.05~0.3um)
    PSR open size: Pad size + 300um
The parts used
  • Package type: 54TSOP
  • Lead finish: SnBi ( composition: 3 ~ 5%Bi, thickness: avg. 15 um)
The solder paste used
  • SnPb Solder: 63/37 SnPb eutectic solder
  • Pb-free Solder: Sn3.0Ag0.5Cu solder
The TC condition
  • Temperature Range: -25 ~ 125 °C
    30 minutes/cycle(JEDEC conditon) - 48 cycles/day
    ( Severe condition compared to the current specification, 0 ~ 125 °C)

The following data were from the real working memory modules.

SnBi and SnPb Joint

SnBi and SnPb Joint

The SnBi finished components with SnPb solder -> No Drastic Phase Transformation!!

EDS Mapping of the Interface after TC1k cycles

EDS Mapping of the Interface after TC1k cycles

Can't detect the Bi which diffuse into the solder!!!
(Bi concentration in the electrodeposit is too low to detect compared with total volume of the joint)
