Abstract:
A method for inhibiting the growth of a nickel-copper-tin intermetallic (i.e. (Ni,Cu)3Sn4) layer at the (Cu,Ni)6Sn5/nickel interface of a solder joint is described as follows. A Sn—Ag—Cu solder alloy with a Cu-content of 0.5˜1 weight percent (wt. %) is provided. The solder alloy is disposed on a surface finish of a soldering pad, having a nickel-based metallization layer. A material of the solder alloy further includes palladium. The solder alloy is joined with the surface finish, so as to form the solder joint containing palladium that enables to inhibit the growth of the undesired (Ni,Cu)3Sn4 layer between the (Cu,Ni)6Sn5 and nickel in the subsequent use at temperatures ranging from 100° C. to 180° C.

Abstract:
A method of inhibiting a formation of palladium-nickel-tin (Pd—Ni—Sn) intermetallic in solder joints is described as follows. Firstly, a solder alloy is provided. Then, at least one of a trace of copper and a trace of zinc is doped into the solder alloy. Afterward, the solder alloy is disposed on the Pd-bearing surface finish, such as a Pd/Ni bi-layer or a Au/Pd/Ni tri-layer. Next, the solder alloy is soldered with the surface finish as solder joints. During the soldering, the Cu and Zn will incorporate into the soldering reaction, forming copper-palladium-nickel-tin intermetallic and zinc-palladium-nickel-tin intermetallic, replacing the Pd—Ni—Sn respectively. Consequently, the addition of Cu and/or Zn into solders will inhibit the undesirable Pd—Ni—Sn intermetallic to form in the solder joints.

A method for inhibiting electromigration-induced phase segregation suitable for solder joint configurations used in a chip package is described as following. First, a chip package including a wiring board, a chip and numbers of solder joints is provided, wherein the chip is disposed on the wiring board, and the solder joints are disposed between the chip and the wiring board to electrically connect the chip to the wiring board. Next, a first current and a second current are alternately applied to a side of the solder joints, wherein flowing directions of the first current and the second current are opposite. The current density of the first current is 103˜105 A/cm2, and the current density of the second current is 103˜105 A/cm2.
Abstract:
A fluidic nano/micro array chipset comprises a microarray filling chip and a nano/micro array stamping chip. There are a plurality of sample containers and a plurality of nano/micro channels on the top of the microarray filling chip, and a plurality of nano/micro-scaled micro filling holes on the bottom of the microarray filling chip. Each nano/micro channel is connected to one of the sample containers and leads the sample solution in that sample container to the corresponding micro filling hole. The nano/micro array stamp chip comprises a plurality of stamping heads arranged in an array pattern, with a body part of the stamp chip and a plurality of space channels forming hydrophobic areas. Each sample solution is stored in the body of the stamp chip, and is transported by the corresponding stamping head to the stamping part of this stamping head.
