Background technology
Current, human effort for environment protection has related to very extensive fields.The history in existing thousand of tradition tin lead (SnPb) solder application is the main raw of present electronic package interconnections.But lead and compound thereof belong to toxic substance, bring bigger harm for human habitat and safety.Since anti-plumbous proposal HR-5374 (US Congress), the S-2637 and S-391 (United States Senate) proposition of the U.S., various tissues both domestic and external, scientific research institution and company release series forbidding motion, test assessment and environmentfriendly products one after another.On February 13rd, 2003, European Union has announced " scrapping electric instruction " and " about ban use of some objectionable impurities instruction in electronic electric equipment ", and the Electrical and Electronic equipment that regulation was put on market after 1 day July in 2006 must not contain 6 kinds of objectionable impuritiess such as comprising lead.Under the constraint and promotion of factors such as environmental requirement, the market requirement, the unleaded great scientific and technical advanced problems and the systems engineering problem that becomes academia and industry member of Electronic Packaging.
Now, the development of microelectronics has entered into ultra large scale integrated circuit (USLA), huge size unicircuit (GSI) epoch.The development of chip is had higher requirement to encapsulation technology.For satisfying IC to high-density and the development of high number of pins, traditional chip/substrate interconnection technique has been difficult to satisfy the requirement of unicircuit development of new generation.Because flip-chip welding technology (FC) is owing to have high packaging density, and improved electric property, the reliability of unicircuit greatly, thereby become the one preferred technique that chip and substrate interconnect.Along with increasing substantially of microelectronic circuit integrated level, the number of solder joint is more and more on device, and size is more and more littler.At present, ball grid array (BGA) solder ball minimum diameter is about 50 μ m, at 1cm
2Chip on, just can obtain 10,000 input and output (I/O) binding sites (pad).Yet the inefficacy of a solder joint will cause device integral body to lose efficacy.Thereby as the key part in the Electronic Packaging, the reliability of solder joint is related to the quality and the life-span of unicircuit, components and parts and even complete machine.Solder joint is as the passage that is electrically connected, and solder joint should have higher specific conductivity; As the passage of mechanical connection between the different material, solder joint should have higher intensity; In the face of abominable environment for use, solder joint should have certain creep resistance and tired performance, prolongs its work-ing life as much as possible; Should have high thermal, system thermal is dissipated easily.Avoiding heat effect, and cause losing efficacy in the solder joint local superheating.
Because Sn has possessed metallurgy, environmental protection, the requirement of several respects such as economy and supply, Research of Lead-free Solders is matrix with Sn, adds Ag, Cu, In, alloy elements such as Bi.For the adapted to leadless requirement, the international printed wiring association of the U.S. (IPC) has estimated the feasibility of lead-free brazing, and has recommended two kinds of alloys.Be respectively that Sn-3Ag-0.5Cu and the north america electronics that Japan adopts made the Sn-3.9Ag-0.6Cu of association (NEMI).Current, though IPC etc. provide the lead-free brazing that can preferentially select, also there is not the consistent alloy of admitting.Mainly be because this class solder also exists integrity problem such as the whisker and the electromigration etc. of long-time running.Especially, relate to following point and requirement:
1, the inefficacy of soldering solder joint often occurs in the combining site of compound and solder matrix between interface metal;
2, because the size of BGA ball is more and more littler, need higher reliability.And in the Sn of the present precipitation strength base BGA solder ball, grow up unusually owing to stress concentration causes BGA ball and compound at the interface, cause inefficacy;
3, the inefficacy that causes of electromigration.Because there is very big-difference in current density between solder ball and lead-in wire, sternly give birth to ELECTROMIGRATION PHENOMENON, finally cause losing efficacy;
4, need solder to have high creep resistance in the optical package;
5, at automobile, aerospace needs high-intensity solder under military project and other extreme conditions.
In order to obtain the lead-free brazing of excellent combination property, composite S n-Pb solder and Research of Lead-free Solders are caused the very big attention of scientific circles.Enhancing substance comprises Cu
6Sn
5Intermetallic compound, Cu, Ag, NiTi particle and SbSn whisker etc.Composite soldering research exists many problems that need solution: how to control the distribution of additive; How reinforce obtains the high beginning intensity that combines with the matrix solder; How effectively to improve creep and thermal fatigue resistance etc.
Especially, S.Jin etc. utilizes magnetic field to control the Fe particle to suppress the alligatoring of Sn-58Bi alloy organizing.Under the effect in magnetic field, the Fe particle after the polarization is chain and distributes, and can greatly improve the creep resistance of alloy.According to our idea, develop this technology, prepare the composite soldering ball that contains the Fe particle by magnetic field control atomising method, have bigger Research Significance and application potential.By externally-applied magnetic field, can control enhancing substance and distribute, obtain Utopian Fe particle and strengthen the composite soldering ball.This new solder can effectively solve and satisfy above-mentioned problem and requirement.The Fe particle has magnetic diffusivity, can control its distribution by magnetic field, avoids the composition inequality; Can generate the Fe-Sn compound with the reaction of Sn matrix and make particle and matrix have good binding, can be from a minute performance strengthening effect; Have conduction, thermal conductivity preferably; Low price, aboundresources.And the solder ball that obtains uniform distribution Fe particle by externally-applied magnetic field on the powder by atomization device is feasible.
Can predict, this composite soldering ball has excellent reliability, can become that ball grid array (BGA)/flip-chip (FC) encapsulation is with solder ball and make the reflow welding soldering paste, and huge application potential is arranged.Here, we have invented a kind of NEW TYPE OF COMPOSITE solder ball and preparation technology thereof.This is simple for process, and the composite soldering ball has excellent mechanical property, conductivity, structure stability, good reliability.Be with a wide range of applications, can be used as the BGA ball and encapsulate; Can make soldering paste and be used for the encapsulation of electronic product; Can be used for optics etc. and need the encapsulation in high-performance field etc.
