摘要
The interfacial reactions of Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder jointed with electroless Ni-P/immersion Au (ENIG) and electroless Ni-P/electroless Pd/immersion Au (ENEPIG) were investigated. Cu6Sn5 grew rather slower in ENEPIG samples among all aging conditions as compared with ENIG. Furthermore, the second phase. Ni3Sn4, started to form in the ENIG aged joints, but not in the ENEPIG aged joints. It was demonstrated that ENEPIG could inhibit the formation of Ni3Sn4, which further decreased the growth of columnar Kirkendall voids inside the Ni3P layer. With less voids formed in the Ni3P layer, it is expected that the reliability of ENEPIG joints would be superior to that of ENIG joints. Detailed mechanisms of Ni3Sn4 suppression and void formation were discussed and proposed. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
