Definitions
- This invention relates to a lead-free solder alloy, a connecting member and a method for its manufacture, and an electronic part. Specifically, it relates to a lead-free solder alloy which can decrease the occurrence of voids in solder joints, a connecting member using the lead-free solder alloy and a method for its manufacture, and an electronic part using the connecting member.
- Heat dissipating members which transmit heat to the exterior of packages such as heat sinks or radiation fins made of Al are widely used in order to improve the heat dissipating ability of packages.
- a heat dissipating member and a package are joined to each other by applying grease between them or by attaching the heat dissipating member to the package through a heat dissipating sheet or seal or the like. Joining by these means is inferior to metallic joining with respect to heat resistance, bonding strength, and adhesion.
- a heat dissipating member and a package are preferably metallically joined to each other with solder or the like.
- Patent Documents 1-3 disclose joining of two members to each other using indium.
- a lead-free solder alloy made of indium (having an In content of substantially 100 mass %) has excellent ductility. If a small piece of a lead-free solder alloy made of indium is disposed between a heat dissipating member and a package in order to perform soldering, it is expected that the resulting solder joint can easily conform to surface irregularities formed in the joining surface by a thermal load, thereby making it possible to avoid peeling of the joined member which unavoidably occurs when joining with a resin or the like.
- a lead-free solder alloy made of In has the problems that (a) it is so flexible that it is difficult to form it into a desired shape by punching to form a small piece or by rolling, and (b) in order to guarantee impact resistance, it is necessary for a small piece to have a thickness of 1.5-2.5 min. This thickness makes it difficult to decrease the size and thickness of electronic parts, and at the time of soldering, the molten lead-free solder alloy oozes to outside of the joint, thereby adversely affecting the insulating properties of the package and causing a short circuit.
- soldering with this lead-free solder alloy by, for example, (i) applying a flux to the surface of a metal substrate of a material such as Cu, Ni, or Au having good thermal conductivity, (ii) forming a lead-free solder layer on the surface of the metal substrate by the molten solder plating method (the hot dip plating method) in which the substrate is dipped in molten solder to obtain a connecting member, and (iii) disposing the connecting member between a heat dissipating member and a package and performing reflow heating in the presence of a flux.
- a flux to the surface of a metal substrate of a material such as Cu, Ni, or Au having good thermal conductivity
- the present inventors found that if the above-described connecting member having a lead-free solder alloy layer made of In on its surface is disposed between a heat dissipating member and a package and is then subjected to reflow heating, a large amount of voids develops inside the resulting joints between the connecting member and the heat dissipating member or the package. Therefore, the strength of the joints and the adhesion between the heat dissipating member and the package are inadequate.
- a flux is normally used in the manufacture of the above-described connecting member. It was also found that flux residue which unavoidably remains in the solder layer further induces the occurrence of voids inside the joints.
- a lead-free solder alloy having In as a main component to which a small amount of Sn or Bi is added singly or in combination exhibits good wettability at the time of soldering due to the effect of Sn or Bi without adversely affecting the characteristic ductility of In.
- the above-described lead-free solder alloy can increase the ability of voids to escape from a solder joint and can decrease the amount of voids remaining inside the joint.
- the present invention is a lead-free solder alloy characterized by having a chemical composition consisting essentially of Sn: 0.1-3% (in this description, unless otherwise specified, % with respect to chemical composition means mass %), and/or Bi: 0.1-2%, and a remainder of In and unavoidable impurities.
- the present invention is a connecting member comprising a metal substrate which preferably has a chemical composition containing at least 95% of Cu, and a lead-free solder alloy layer formed on at least connection regions of the metal substrate, characterized in that the lead-free solder alloy layer has the above-described chemical composition for a lead-free solder alloy.
- this connecting member has a lead-free solder alloy layer on the surface of a metal substrate, its thickness can be decreased. Furthermore, it has good shape retention when it is subjected to punching so as to form small pieces or when it is subjected to rolling, so it has excellent mass producibility and workability.
- the present invention is a method of manufacturing a connecting member, characterized by immersing a metal substrate in a lead-free solder alloy which has the above-described chemical composition and is in a molten state, and preferably applying ultrasonic vibrations to the metal substrate and the molten lead-free solder alloy after immersing the metal substrate in the lead-free solder alloy, thereby forming a lead-free solder alloy layer at least on connection regions of the metal substrate.
- This method can form a lead-free solder alloy layer having improved thermal conductivity on the surface of a metal substrate without using flux while maintaining adequate adhesion. As a result, the occurrence of voids caused by flux residue remaining in the solder layer can be decreased, and the need to take anti-pollution measures and measures for dealing with waste water caused by halides contained in flux is eliminated.
- the present invention is an electronic part characterized by comprising the above-described connecting member according to the present invention, and a first member (for example, a package such as a BGA mounted on a printed circuit board) and a second member (such as a heat dissipating member) both disposed so as to contact the connecting member in a connection region, wherein the first member and the second member are connected to each other through the connecting member by reflow heating of the first member and the second member in the presence of a flux.
- a first member for example, a package such as a BGA mounted on a printed circuit board
- a second member such as a heat dissipating member
- the first member and the second member are connected to each other through a metal connecting member according to the present invention, and as described above, the connecting member can suppress the occurrence of voids in the resulting joints. Therefore, it is possible to perform connection with improved adhesion and bonding strength.
- the suppressed occurrence of voids is exemplified by the fact that the below-described voids rate in the joints between the connecting member and the first member and between the connecting member and the second member can be suppressed to at most 33.0%.
- Voids rate A solder alloy sheet to be tested having a thickness of 100 ⁇ m and measuring 5 mm ⁇ 5 mm which is sandwiched between electroless nickel and gold plated lands each measuring 5 mm ⁇ 5 mm after flux is applied to the lands is subjected to reflow heating with a reflow profile having a peak temperature of 160° C., and then the proportion of the area of voids with respect to the area of the lands is measured 3 times using an X-ray inspection apparatus (TOSMICRON 6090 FP made by Toshiba IT & Control Systems Corporation), the average of 3 measurements being made the voids rate.
- TOSMICRON 6090 FP made by Toshiba IT & Control Systems Corporation
- a lead-free solder alloy according to the present invention allows voids to easily escape from a solder joint of a connecting member to a first member or a second member, so the amount of voids remaining inside the joint can be decreased, and the adhesion and bonding strength of the first member and the second member are increased.
- a connecting member according to the present invention can achieve a decrease in thickness, and it has good shape retention when it is punched to form small members or is subjected to rolling, so it has excellent mass producibility and workability.
- a method of manufacturing a connecting member according to the present invention can decrease the occurrence of voids caused by flux residue remaining in a solder layer, and it can eliminate the necessity for environmental countermeasures and measures for waste water treatment caused by halides contained in flux.
- a first member for example, a package such as a BGA mounted on a printed circuit board
- a second member such as a heat dissipating member
- a connecting member with good adhesion and a good bonding strength while markedly suppressing the occurrence of voids in the joints.
- FIG. 1 is a front cross-sectional view of an electronic part according to the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a graph showing an example of a reflow profile.
- FIG. 3 shows X-ray photographs of the state of occurrence of voids in examples of the present invention.
- FIG. 4 shows X-ray photographs of the state of occurrence of voids in comparative examples of the present invention.
- a lead-free solder alloy, a connecting member and a method for its manufacture, and an electronic part according to the present invention will be sequentially explained.
- Having the chemical composition of a lead-free solder alloy satisfy the above-described ranges improves the wettability of a lead-free solder alloy at the time of soldering. As a result, the ability of voids to escape from a solder joint to a first member or a second member is increased, and the amount of voids remaining inside the joint is markedly decreased. Accordingly, the adhesion and bonding strength of a first member and a second member which are connected by soldering are increased.
- the solder alloy will have a decreased reactivity with Cu, Ni, or Au which forms a substrate, thereby forming a connecting member which cannot exhibit the functions required of a connecting member. If the Sn content exceeds 3%, the voids rate in a joint is no longer suppressed to a desired level. Therefore, the Sn content is limited to 0.1-3%.
- the Bi content is less than 0.1%, the solder alloy will have decreased wettability, leading to poor solderability. If the Bi content exceeds 2%, brittleness occurs in the alloy to such an extent that a joint becomes brittle, and it is no longer possible to form a connecting member. Therefore, the Bi content is limited to 0.1-2%.
- the chemical composition of the lead-free solder alloy is also made to satisfy the above-described ranges so that the lead-free solder alloy will melt at a temperature in the range of 130-160° C.
- the reason for this temperature range is as follows.
- Lead-free solders which are commonly used for bumps for packages include binary alloys such as Sn-3.5Ag (melting point of 221° C.; the temperatures given below in parentheses are all melting points), Sn-5Sb (235-240° C.), Sn-0.75Cu (227° C.), Sn-2In (224-229° C.), Sn-58Bi (139° C.), and Sn-9Zn (199° C.), as well as ternary or higher alloys in which one or more additional elements are added to the above binary alloys. It is thought that Sn—Pb eutectic solder (melting point of 183° C.) will continue to be used for some bumps employed in packages.
- binary alloys such as Sn-3.5Ag (melting point of 221° C.; the temperatures given below in parentheses are all melting points), Sn-5Sb (235-240° C.), Sn-0.75Cu (227° C.), Sn-2In (224-229° C.), Sn-
- the present invention is intended for use in connection of a package having bumps made of the above-described solder to a heat dissipating member by heating them with a reflow profile of a lead-free solder alloy according to the present invention.
- a lead-free solder according to the present invention preferably has a low melting point.
- the melting point of a lead-free solder alloy according to the present invention needs to be not lower than 125° C., which is a typical temperature used in the Change of Temperature Test prescribed by JIS C 0025. From the standpoint of practicality, the melting point needs to be at least 130° C.
- the reflow profile is typically set to a temperature around 20° C. higher than the liquidus temperature of the solder.
- a lead-free solder alloy according to the present invention is preferably one which melts at a temperature of not lower than 130° C. and not higher than 160° C. Therefore, the chemical composition of a lead-free solder alloy according to the present invention is limited as set forth above.
- a lead-free so solder alloy according to the present invention may contain one or more of Al: at most 0.01%, Ni: at most 0.1%, and Cu: at most 0.1%.
- the addition of at most 0.01% of Al to the alloy is expected to improve ductility, and the addition of Ni: at most 0.1% and/or Cu: at most 0.1% to the alloy is expected to improve solderability.
- a connecting member comprises a metal substrate and a lead-free solder alloy layer. These will be sequentially explained.
- the metal substrate has connection regions on all or a portion thereof for joining a first member and a second member.
- the metal substrate may have a first connection region for connection to a first member on all or a portion of one side thereof, and a second connection region for connection to a second member on all or a portion of the other side thereof.
- the metal substrate is preferably a copper substrate having a chemical composition with a Cu content of at least 95% because such, a substrate has high thermal conductivity, excellent workability, and good reactivity with the above-described lead-free solder alloy.
- the thickness of the copper substrate is preferably 0.05-0.5 mm from the standpoints of guaranteeing the strength of the connecting member and decreasing its thickness.
- a metal substrate such as a Ni or Au substrate which reacts with Sn or Bi and In may be used.

- the lead-free solder alloy layer may be formed only in portions of one or both sides of a metal substrate where the substrate needs to be connected to the first member or the second member, or it may be formed over the entire surface of one or both sides of the metal substrate.

- the ultrasonic vibrations applied to the metal substrate and the lead-free solder alloy are at 40 kHz with the distance between the substrate and the horn (resonator) being 2 mm.
- a lead-free solder alloy layer can be formed on the surface of the metal substrate while maintaining adequate adhesion without using flux. Therefore, the occurrence of voids caused by flux residue remaining in a solder layer is eliminated, and the need to take environmental countermeasures and measures for waste water treatment due to halides contained in flux are eliminated.
- the properties of a connecting member can be freely varied by suitably varying the materials, the thickness, and the shape of the metal substrate and the composition of the lead-free solder alloy layer which is formed.

- a low melting point solder alloy such as a Sn—Bi based alloy
- a reflow profile with a peak temperature of around 160° C. and a melting period at 140° C. or above of around 40 seconds is preferred.
- the connecting member 5 can suppress the occurrence of voids in the resulting joints, so an electronic part 6 in which the first member 4 and the second member 1 are connected to the connecting member 5 with adequate adhesion and with a high bonding strength is manufactured.
- the below-described voids rate in the joint between the connecting member 5 and the first member 4 and the joint between the connecting member 5 and the second member 1 is restrained to at most 33.0%.
- Voids rate A solder alloy sheet to be tested having a thickness of 100 ⁇ m and measuring 5 mm ⁇ 5 mm which is sandwiched between electroless nickel and gold plated lands each measuring 5 mm ⁇ 5 mm after flux is applied to the lands is subjected to reflow heating with a reflow profile having a peak temperature of 160° C., and then the proportion of the area of voids with respect to the area of the lands is measured 3 times using an X-ray inspection apparatus (TOSMICRON 6090 FP made by Toshiba IT & Control Systems Corporation).
