    Abstract: Soldering methods and compositions are disclosed to provide electrical connections between surfaces with reduced likelihood of short circuits or solder-starved joints. Two component solder compositions are employed to preferably form “metallic foam” joints upon heating. In one embodiment, bimetallic particles are disclosed which fuse together rapidly reducing the likelihood of reflow-related solder joint faults. The methods and compositions of the present invention can also reduce the potential for thermal fatigue and other solder joint failures in electronic devices following fabrication because the porous solder joints relieve plastic constraints and lower the average tensile joint stress. In one preferred embodiment, solder compositions are employed which are composed of particles of a first metal coated with a second metal. Alternatively, the compositions can include particles of a first metal surrounded by a salt solution or suspension of a second metal. The metals are chosen such that their individual melting points are higher than the melting points of the alloy or alloys formed when they are combined. Upon heating of such coated particles, melting occurs at the interfaces between the core materials and their coatings. The liquid so formed causes various particles to fuse together in a porous metal foam that provides an electronic connection capable of withstanding thermal cycling with significantly lower failure rates. This soldering technique is particularly advantageous when applied to soldering of ball arrays and similar structures that facilitate mounting of chips to printed circuit boards, other chips or substrates, generally. The present invention can also be useful in reducing the total amount of lead and/or other toxic components present in solder compositions.

    Abstract: A method of forming an isotropic electrical connection and a mechanical bond between two articles having metal surfaces thereon and the resulting bond is provided. Preferably, the metal surfaces are the surfaces of metal contact pads on a dielectric substrate and on an electronic device such as an I/C chip or chip carrier. The mechanical bond and electrical connection is provided by utilizing a conductive adhesive, in which adhesive the conduction is provided by metal particles which have exposed palladium thereon. The particles may be the metal palladium itself or it may be some other metal, such as silver, having palladium coated thereon, preferably by electrodeposition. The particles typically are flakes with the palladium having an incipient dendritic form on the surface, i.e.; the palladium has a multi-pointed surface configuration that can grow into fully formed needle-like dendritic structures. However, the shape of the particle is not significant. The polymer preferably is conventional polyimide/siloxane which is well known in the art for use in formulating conductive adhesives. The polyimide/siloxane is a thermoplastic, i.e. upon heating it softens and upon cooling it sets, and upon reheating it will soften and reflow.
