Mix Aoy Sodering (Sn/Pb Sodering in a Pb Free Word) Dr. Nei Pooe January 2007
Why Backward Compatibiity? Some eectronics products have exemptions in EU RoHS directive Lead in soders in high reiabiity appications such as servers, medica equipment, teecommunication products unti 2010 or beyond. USA has no Pb free egisation (some states ooking CA) Some SnPb components wi be unavaiabe or command a high premium Component manufacturers do not want to carry both SnPb andead-free production ines due to the cost concern Voume of components for these high reiabiity products is ow
Intermetaic Bonding (Sodering). SOLDER INTERMETALLIC LAYER SUBSTRATE SUBSTRATE INTERMETALLIC (compound) Cu Cu 6 Sn Ag Ag 3 Sn Au Au Sn 4 (WEAK, BRITTLE) Ni Ni 3 Sn 4 - TIN IS THE ACTIVE INGREDIENT IN SOLDER -
The Intermetaic Layer Thickness of intermetaic ayer depends on: - Substrate composition Au > Ag > Cu > Pd > Ni Soder composition Temperature! Time!
Mixed Aoy Systems Pb free ead finishes with Pb soder Litte work done so far Possibe profie changes Pb ead finishes with Pb free soder Some work done Seen as a transitiona probem Even with exemptions fu Sn/Pb may not be possibe Mistakes wi happen
