Processes for forming self-healing solder joints and repair of same, related solder joints, and microelectronic components, assemblies and electronic systems incorporating such solder joints
Abstract:
Solder joints comprising two different solder materials having different melting points, an outer solder material extending over an inner solder material bonded to a conductive pad, the inner solder material having a lower melting point than a melting point of the outer solder material and being in a solid state at substantially ambient temperature. A metal material having a higher melting point than a melting point of either solder material may coat at least a portion of the inner solder material. Microelectronic components, assemblies and electronic systems incorporating the solder joints, as well as processes for forming and repairing the solder joints are also disclosed.
