Abstract: The embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for suppressing Kirkendall voids formation in a solder joint. A solder alloy doped with 0.1˜0.7 weight percent (wt. %) of palladium (Pd) is utilized. Before soldering, the solder alloy is disposed on a copper (Cu) pad, possibly treated with a surface finish. Subsequently, the solder alloy is joined with the Cu pad, so as to form the solder joint with a Cu/Cu3Sn/(Cu,Pd)6Sn5/solder structure. The formation of Kirkendall voids at the Cu/Cu3Sn interface is greatly suppressed in the presence of Pd in the solder. As the amount of Pd doped is minimal, the properties and the processing conditions for soldering are not changed to a large extent, and the mechanical reliability of the solder joint is significantly improved. Therefore, the present invention is suitable for the microelectronic packaging applications.

Abstract: A high speed ball shear machine is adapted for removing a metal bump fixed on a substrate. The high speed ball shear machine includes a fixing base, a shear tool, and a metal bump catcher. The substrate is fixed on the top surface of the fixing base. The shear tool is disposed above the top surface. The fixing base is adapted for being translated along a translation path relative to the shear tool, wherein the translation path is a straight path. When the fixing base translates along the path, the metal bump is driven to strike the shear tool so as to separate itself from the substrate. The metal bump catcher, which is adapted for catching the drop bump after the striking, is disposed on the side wall of the fixing base. The bump catcher has a fillister with a configuration depicted in the figures of this invention.

Abstract: A method for controlling the beta-tin crystal orientation in solder joints is provided. The method is suitable for joining metallization pads using a solder containing tin and silver. By adjusting the silver content in the solder within a specific range of equal to or more than 2.5 wt. % and less than 3.2 wt. %, the [001] axes of beta-tin crystals in the solder is aligned to be in the direction parallel with a solder/metallization pad interface substantially. Electromigration-induced solder deformations and metallization pad consumption can be significantly reduced when solder joints have such a microstructure. Additionally, the undesired Ag3Sn plates in the solder matrix can be avoided accordingly.
