Abstract:
A pouring apparatus for molten metal includes a stirrer installed in a reservoir. The stirrer is rotated by a rotational drive mechanism installed on the reservoir. Molten solder is placed into the reservoir, high melting point metal particles are charged into the molten solder, stirring is performed with the stirrer to uniformly disperse the metal particles in the molten solder, and then the molten solder and dispersed metal particles are cast into a mold. Casting can be performed quickly after charging the metal particles into the molten solder, so the metal particles do not significantly melt into the molten solder.
Abstract:
An electroconductive bonding material which has a high bonding strength to an inorganic nonmetal such as glass or a ceramic and which has excellent reliability in that it does not undergo peeling even when exposed to a high temperature has an alloy composition which comprises, in mass %, Zn: 0.1 - 15 %, In: 2 - 16 %, Sb: greater than 0 % to at most 2 %, optionally one or both of Ag: at most 2 % and Cu: at most 1 %, optionally at least one element selected from the group consisting of Ba, Ti, and Ca in a total amount of 0.01 - 0.15 %, and a remainder of Sn. This electroconductive bonding material peels off when it is heated to at least its melting point and can be reused.
Abstract:
A solder joint which is used in power devices and the like and which can withstand a high current density without developing electromigration is formed of a Sn-Ag-Bi-In based alloy. The solder joint is formed of a solder alloy consisting essentially of 2 - 4 mass % of Ag, 2 - 4 mass % of Bi, 2 - 5 mass % of In, and a remainder of Sn. The solder alloy may further contain at least one ofNi, Co, and Fe.
Abstract:
The conventional low temperature solders have caused pollution issues and the conventional low-temperature lead-free solders have liquidus temperatures too high for low heat resistant components having a heat resistant temperature of 130°C or weak in mechanical strength due to brittleness. A lead-free low-temperature solder is composed of an In of 48-52.5 mass% and a Bi for the rest, and is mostly composed of a BiIn 2 intermetallic compound having no brittleness. Furthermore, Zn and La can be added to improve solderability, and a small amount of P can be added to prevent corrosion at a high temperature and a high humidity.
Abstract:
Solder used for flip chip bonding inside a semiconductor package was a Sn-Pb solder such as a Pb-5Sn composition. Lead-free solders which have been studied are hard and easily form intermetallic compounds with Sn, so they were not suitable for a flip chip connection structure inside a semiconductor package, which requires stress relaxation properties. This problem is dissolved by a flip chip connection structure inside a semiconductor package using a lead-free solder which is characterized by consisting essentially of 0.01 - 0.5 mass percent of Ni and a remainder of Sn. 0.3 - 0.9 mass percent of Cu and 0.001 - 0.01 mass percent of P may be added to this solder composition.
