摘要:
A solder composition and associated method of formation. The solder composition comprises a substantially lead-free alloy that includes tin (Sn), silver (Ag), and copper. The tin has a weight percent concentration in the alloy of at least about 90%. The silver has a weight percent concentration X in the alloy. X is sufficiently small that formation of Ag3Sn plates is substantially suppressed when the alloy in a liquefied state is being solidified by being cooled to a lower temperature at which the solid Sn phase is nucleated. This lower temperature corresponds to an undercooling &dgr;T relative to the eutectic melting temperature of the alloy. Alternatively, X may be about 4.0% or less, wherein the liquefied alloy is cooled at a cooling rate that is high enough to substantially suppress Ag3Sn plate formation in the alloy. The copper has a weight percent concentration in the alloy not exceeding about 1.5%.
摘要:
Briefly, a novel material process is disclosed wherein one or more nucleation modifiers are added, in trace amounts, to a lead-free tin-rich solder alloy to produce a solder composition with reduced or suppressed undercooling temperature characteristics. The modifier being a substance which facilitates the reduction of extreme anisotropic properties associated with body-centered-tetragonal tin based lead-free solder. The addition of the nucleation modifiers to the solder alloy does not materially effect the solder composition's melting point. As such, balls of solder with the nucleated composition freeze while other solder balls within the array remain in the melt. This effectively enables one substrate to be pinned to another substrate by one or more predetermined solder balls to secure the package while the remaining solder joints are in the liquid state.

Further, the addition of a trace amount of nucleation sites within the composition facilitates control over the number, size, and orientations of primary intermetallic compounds in tin rich crystallite grains. Moreover, trace amounts of one or more solid and/or insoluble nucleating modifiers within a given volume of solder reduces the size of average crystallites within the composition.
