  • solder bump formation When mounting a BGA on a printed circuit board, supplying solder to each electrode and soldering is not only troublesome, but it is also impossible to supply solder from the outside to the electrode in the middle of the board. Therefore, in order to mount the BGA on a printed circuit board, a method of placing solder on the BGA electrode in advance has been performed. This is called solder bump formation.
  • solder balls, solder paste, etc. are used to form solder bumps on the BGA.
  • an adhesive flux is applied to the BGA electrode, and the solder balls are placed on the electrode to which the flux has been applied. Thereafter, the BGA substrate is heated by a heating device such as a reflow furnace to melt the solder balls, thereby forming solder bumps on the electrodes.
  • a semiconductor substrate such as a BGA substrate or a CSP substrate is generically called a module substrate.
  • solder bumps are formed on the wafer lands with solder paste, place a metal mask with holes of the same size as the lands on the wafer land and match the solder paste on the metal mask with a squeegee. Stir and apply solder paste to the land of the wafer. Thereafter, the wafer is heated in a reflow furnace to melt the solder paste, thereby forming solder bumps.
  • Sn—Pb alloy solder balls are used for forming solder bumps.
  • This Sn-Pb solder ball not only has excellent solderability to the BGA electrode, but the eutectic composition of Sn-Pb in particular has a melting point that does not affect the BGA element or the substrate during the soldering. Moreover, since it has a soft Pb, it absorbs the impact even if the used electronic component or electronic device falls, thus greatly contributing to the life of the electronic component or electronic device.
  • the use of Pb has been regulated on a global scale, and of course, the eutectic composition of Sn—Pb that has been used in conventional soldering has also been regulated.
  • Sn—Ag—Cu solder alloys such as Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu and Sn-4.0Ag-0.5Cu have been used as the composition of lead-free solder balls for BGA. Although these lead-free solder alloys are excellent in temperature cycle characteristics, portable electronic devices using solder balls with these solder alloy compositions are prone to interface debonding from the solder ball connection interface when dropped.

If the flux that exudes from the solder paste covers the surface of the solder ball and this flux loses its activity, the warp will return during the cooling process, and even if the solder paste comes into contact with the solder ball, it will oxidize the surface of the solder ball. Since the membrane cannot be removed, it becomes unfused. As a countermeasure against this, the method of Patent Document 5 is effective.
  • Drop impact resistance is required for solder balls used for BGA and CSP.
  • One effective means against drop impact resistance is modification of the interfacial compound, and as disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 4, Ni addition is a means for improvement.
  • Ni is also an element that forms a compound, so the amount that can be added is limited.
  • Cu or Ni addition is suppressed in consideration of unfusion, the drop impact resistance characteristics are lost, so that it is not suitable for solder balls that are frequently used in portable devices such as BGA and CSP.

Description

鉛フリーはんだボール
 本発明は、半導体などの電子部品の電極に用いる鉛フリーはんだボールに関する。特に、AuめっきなどのNi電極部とCuに水溶性プリフラックスが塗布されたCu電極部共に使用可能であり、電極が搭載された電子部品が落下した時の故障モードが低い鉛フリーはんだボールに関する。
 近時、電子機器の小型化、電気信号の高速化等から、電子機器に使用される電子部品も小型化、多機能化されている。小型化、多機能化された電子部品としてはBGA(Ball Grid Array)、CSP(Chip Size Package)、MCM (Multi Chip Module)(以下代表してBGAという)がある。BGAは、BGA基板の裏面に多数の電極が基板目状位置に設置されている。BGAをプリント基板に実装する場合は、BGAの電極とプリント基板のランドをはんだで接合することにより行われる。BGAのプリント基板への実装時には、電極毎にはんだを供給してはんだ付けするのでは多大な手間がかかるばかりでなく、基板の中程にある電極に外部からはんだを供給することはできない。そこで、BGAをプリント基板に実装するために、予めBGAの電極にはんだを盛り付けておく方法が行われている。これをはんだバンプの形成という。
 BGAへのはんだバンプ形成には、はんだボール、ソルダペースト等を使用する。はんだボールではんだバンプ形成する場合は、BGA電極に粘着性のフラックスを塗布し、該フラックスが塗布された電極上にはんだボールを載置する。その後、該BGA基板をリフロー炉のような加熱装置で加熱して、はんだボールを溶融することにより、電極上にはんだバンプを形成するものである。BGA基板やCSP基板などの半導体基板を総称してモジュール基板という。また、ソルダペーストでウエハーのランドにはんだバンプを形成する場合、ウエハーのランドと一致した所にランドと同程度の穴が穿設されたメタルマスクを置き、メタルマスクの上からソルダペーストをスキージで掻きならしてウエハーのランドにソルダペーストを印刷塗布する。その後、ウエハーをリフロー炉で加熱し、ソルダペーストを溶融させることにより、はんだバンプを形成する。
 ところで従来のBGAでは、はんだバンプ形成用としてSn-Pb合金のはんだボールを用いていた。このSn-Pbはんだボールは、BGAの電極に対するはんだ付け性に優れているばかりでなく、特にSn-Pbの共晶組成は、はんだ付け時にBGA素子や基板等に熱影響を与えない融点を有し、しかも柔らかいPbを有しているので使用した電子部品や電子機器等が落下しても衝撃を吸収し、電子部品や電子機器等の寿命に大きな貢献をしていた。現在、世界的規模でPbの使用が規制されるようになってきており、当然、従来のはんだ付けで使用されてきたSn-Pbの共晶組成も規制されてきている。
 従来、BGA用の鉛フリーはんだボールの組成としては、Sn-3.0Ag-0.5CuやSn-4.0Ag-0.5CuなどのSn-Ag-Cu系のはんだ合金が用いられてきた。これらの鉛フリーはんだ合金は温度サイクル特性に優れているが、これらのはんだ合金組成のはんだボールを用いた携帯電子機器は落下した時、はんだボール接続界面から剥離する界面剥離が発生し易く、そのため落下衝撃性に劣ると考えられてきた。
 携帯電子機器の落下衝撃を防止する鉛フリーはんだボール用のはんだ合金組成としては、質量%で、(1) Ag: 0.8~2.0%、(2) Cu: 0.05~0.3%、ならびに (3) In: 0.01%以上、0.1%未満、Ni: 0.01~0.04%、Co: 0.01~0.05%、およびPt: 0.01~0.1%から選ばれた1種もしくは2種以上、残部Snからなる鉛フリーはんだ合金(WO2006/129713A公報、特許文献1)、Ag:1.0~2.0質量%、Cu:0.3~1.5質量%を含み、残部Sn及び不可避不純物からなることを特徴とする無鉛ハンダ合金。更にSb:0.005~1.5質量%、Zn:0.05~1.5質量%、Ni:0.05~1.5質量%、Fe:0.005~0.5質量%の1種又は2種以上を含み、Sb、Zn、Ni、Feの合計含有量が1.5質量%以下である無鉛ハンダ合金(特開2002-239780号公報、特許文献2)、mass%で、0.1~1.5%のAgと、0.5~0.75%のCuと、12.5≦Cu/Ni≦100の関係を満たすNiと、残部Sn及び不可避的不純物からなる鉛フリーはんだ合金(WO2007/081006A公報、特許文献3)、Ag:1.0~2.0質量%、Cu:0.3~1.0質量%、Ni:0.005~0.10質量%を含有し、残部Sn及び不可避不純物からなる鉛フリーはんだ合金(WO2007/102588A公報、特許文献4)がある。また、BGA基板のようなモジュールとプリント基板の接合時に発生する未融合の解決法として、モジュール基板の電極部にフラックスを塗布する方法(WO2006-134891A公報、特許文献5)が開示されている。
WO2006/129713A公報 特開2002-239780号公報 WO2007/081006A公報 WO2007/102588A公報 WO2006/134891A公報
 これらの特許文献1~4は、Sn-Ag-Cu系はんだボールの耐落下衝撃性の改善のために、Agの含有量を低減してはんだの硬度を低下させ衝撃吸収量を向上させたり、Cuの含有量を低減してランドとはんだとの接合面に発生するCu6Sn5などの金属間化合物層を薄くし、接合界面で剥離するのを防止したものであり、AgとCuの含有量を低減したことにより発生するはんだ自体の強度をNi、Fe、Coなどの鉄族元素を添加することで改善している。
 しかし、特許文献1~4のような耐落下衝撃性対策のはんだボールを採用しても、電子機器の落下による不具合が減少しないという問題点が発生した。この点を解析すると、従来のSn-Pbはんだに比較して増加している電子機器の落下による故障は、特許文献1~5にしたようなはんだボールと基板の接合界面だけで発生するのではないことが解ってきた。BGA基板などのモジュール基板とプリント基板に接合するときに、BGAの電極に用いられるはんだボールのはんだ成分とプリント基板のはんだ付けに用いられるソルダペーストのはんだ成分が混じり合わない(図1)「未融合」と呼ばれる不具合が、従来のSn-Pbはんだから、鉛フリーはんだへの移行に伴い新たに不具合として発生したからである。
 しかし、未融合の発生はSn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu組成のはんだボールから、耐落下衝撃性対策として開発されたSn-Ag-Cu-Ni組成のはんだボールに移行するに従い多く発生することが解ってきた。どうやら、未融合の原因が、はんだボールの落下衝撃改善のために添加したNiがSnと金属間化合物を形成して、はんだボール表面に析出することで、はんだボールのはんだ成分とソルダペーストとはんだ成分とが混じり合うのを妨害していることが原因と考えられる。
 また、未融合の発生原因として以下も考えられる。プリント基板が加熱され大きく反った時に、はんだボールとソルダペーストとが離れる。はんだボールとソルダペーストが離れたまま加熱されると、はんだボールは高温により表面が酸化する。ソルダペーストからにじみ出たフラックスがはんだボールの表面を覆い、このフラックスが活性力を失うと、冷却の過程で反りが戻った時に、ソルダペーストがはんだボールと接触しても、はんだボールの表面の酸化膜を除去することができないため、未融合になる。この対策として特許文献5の方法が有効である。
 そして実施例からは、未融合がはんだボールの組成によって、はんだボール内部に形成する化合物、Cu6Sn5または(Cu、Ni)6Sn5に起因することが判明した。はんだボールが接合された部品を実装基板に搭載する際、ソルダペーストが印刷塗布された実装基板に対して、はんだボールが接合されている電極側は下向きにして搭載が行われる。その後加熱が行われ、ソルダペーストの溶融とともにはんだボールも溶融し融合に至る。 しかし、はんだボール内部に形成する化合物Cu6Sn5または(Cu、Ni)6Sn5が多く生成する場合、はんだボール溶融時に化合物がボール内部を沈降し、バンプ最表面付近に析出する現象が発生する。この現象により、ペーストとの融合を阻害し融合不良を引き起こす要因になっていることを確認した(図2、図3)。
 BGAやCSPに用いられるはんだボールには、耐落下衝撃が求められる。耐落下衝撃に対する有効な手段の一つに界面化合物の改質があり、特許文献1~4に開示されているように、Ni添加が改善の手段となっている。しかし、未融合の観点においてはNiも化合物を生成する元素になるため、添加できる量は限られる。未融合を考慮しCuやNi添加を抑止すると、耐落下衝撃特性が失われるため、BGAやCSPなど携帯機器に多用に搭載されるはんだボールには不向きとなってしまう。
 本発明が解決しようとする課題は、耐落下衝撃性などのはんだ強度を向上させたSn-Ag-Cu-Ni組成のはんだボールであっても、未融合の発生がないはんだボール用のはんだ合金を開発することであり、はんだボールの接合界面における界面剥離を抑制し、且つ、はんだボールとソルダペーストと間に生じる未融合を抑制することにより、電子部品が落下した時の故障モードが低く、接合されるプリント基板がCu電極においても、Ni下地に対してAuめっきやAu/Pdめっき表面処理を施した電解Ni/Au電極および無電解Ni/Pd/Au電極においてもその効果があるBGAやCSP用のはんだボールを得ることである。 
 本発明者らは、耐落下衝撃性と未融合発生率が共に低いはんだボール用はんだ合金が携帯電子機器の落下による不具合が少ないこと、耐落下衝撃性はんだ合金に含有するNiなどの鉄属の金属がはんだボール表面に析出してしまうと未融合発生率が高くなり、携帯電子機器の落下による不具合が多く発生すること、はんだ合金中に添加したNiの量を規定することで、未融合、ひいては携帯電子機器の落下による不具合が少なくなることを
見い出し、本発明を完成させた。
 本発明では、ベースとなるSn-Ag-CuはんだをAgが0.5~1.1質量%、Cuが0.7~0.8質量%、残Snとしている。この理由としては、本発明のはんだボールは、Sn-Ag-Cu3元組成のはんだ合金中のCuの含有量を減少させることによって、Cu電極界面にCu6Sn5の金属間化合物の形成を抑制していた特許文献1~4の技術と異なり、Sn-Ag-Cu3元組成のはんだ合金中のCuの含有量が共晶点である0.75質量%近辺において、Niを添加することではんだ中のCuの含有量を減らさなくともCu電極界面にCu6Sn5の金属間化合物の形成を抑制している。
 これは、本発明のSn-Ag-Cu3元組成のはんだ合金中のCuの含有量を共晶点である0.75質量%近辺に限定することで、Cuが飽和状態のSn-Ag-Cu3元組成のはんだ合金中にCu電極からCuが拡散することを抑制している。
 本発明のはんだボールのもう1つの特徴は、Sn-Ag-Cu3元組成のはんだ合金中のCuの含有量を共晶点である0.75質量%近辺にすることによって、Cu電極からのCu拡散の抑制だけではなく、Cuと全率固溶の関係にあるNiへも同様の効果が得られるため、Ni電極においてもNi拡散を抑える働きを持つことである。さらに、はんだ中にNiを予め添加することにより、部品電極および基板電極からのNi及びCuの拡散抑制効果が高まると共に、微細な金属間化合物による接合界面の形成により、Ni電極に対しても耐落下衝撃性が向上する。
 本発明のAgが0.5~1.1質量%、Cuが0.7~0.8質量%、残Snのはんだボール用はんだ組成に添加するNiの量は、0.05~0.08質量%である。本発明では、Sn-Ag-Cuのはんだ合金中に添加するNi量を0.05~0.08質量%とすることで、Sn-Ag-Cuはんだボール表面にNiが集中的に析出することもない、温度サイクル特性と耐落下衝撃性が共に優れたBGA用電極用のはんだボールを得ることができる。
 本発明では、Sn-Ag-Cu3元組成のはんだ合金中のCuの含有量が共晶点である0.75質量%近辺において、Niを添加することではんだ中のCuの含有量を減らさなくともCu電極界面にCu6Sn5の金属間化合物の形成を抑制している。さらにSn-Ag-Cu3元組成のはんだ合金中に本発明の少量のNi量を添加することによって、はんだ中のSnCu化合物:Cu6Sn5が微細化し、部品および基板電極界面に形成する金属間化合物の粒子も細かくなり、破壊が起こりにくい接合界面が形成される。
 Ni添加量が0.05質量%未満になり少なすぎる場合、前記の効果は得られにくく耐落下衝撃性の向上は実現しない。また、添加量が0.08質量%を越え過剰であると、接合界面化合物中のNiの濃度が上昇し、脆く壊れやすい接合界面が形成されるため、耐落下衝撃性が減少する。また、過剰なNi添加ははんだ硬度の上昇も免れず、耐落下衝撃には不向きである。このようにNi添加量が適正で無い場合、耐落下衝撃性は低下する傾向にある。 
 本発明のはんだボールを用いることによって、Cu電極とNi電極の両方において耐落下衝撃性を有し、且つ、未融合抑制の効果により電極が搭載された電子部品が落下した時の故障モードが低いするはんだボールが使用できることは、頻繁に行われる電極の設計変更に柔軟に対応できるという利点がある。
 本発明のはんだボールを用いることによって、Cuランドに水溶性プリフラックス(OSP、Organic Solderbility Preservativesとも呼ぶ)を塗布したCu電極もAuめっきやPd/AuめっきなどのNiを下地に使用する電極を含むNi電極においても、電子部品が落下した時の故障モードが低いBGAやCSPの電極とプリント基板との接合を得ることができる。
 本発明のCu電極にもNi電極にも耐落下衝撃性を有するはんだボールは、下面電極を有するBGAやCSP などのPKG部品へのバンプ形成に用いるのが好ましい。
 本発明のはんだボールのSn-Ag-Cu-Ni系はんだ合金で、Agの含有量が0.5質量%未満でははんだの強度が低下し、落下等による衝撃応力を負荷させた場合、はんだ破壊が容易に起こりやすくなるという問題がある。Agの含有量が1.1質量%を越えるとはんだの硬度は高くなり衝撃吸収が低下するため、界面での剥離が引き起こされてしまう。したがって、本発明のはんだボール用の合金は、Agの含有量が0.5~1.1質量%、より好ましくは0.9~1.1質量%でなければならない。
 また、本発明のはんだボールのSn-Ag-Cu-Ni系はんだ合金は、Cuの含有量が0.7質量%未満では、Sn-Ag-Cuの共晶点から離れるので、Cu電極に用いたときにCu電極からはんだ中にCuが拡散することでCu電極界面にCu6Sn5の金属間化合物層が厚くなり、耐落下衝撃性が悪くなる。Sn-Ag-Cu-Ni系はんだ合金のCuの含有量が0.8質量%を越えるとSn-Ag-Cuの共晶点から離れるので、はんだ合金とCu電極との反応層中にCu6Sn5の金属間化合物ができ易くなり、結果としてCu電極とはんだ接合部界面に形成されるCu6Sn5の金属間化合物が厚くなる。したがって、本発明のはんだボールのSn-Ag-Cu-Ni系はんだ合金に含有されるCuの含有量は0.7~0.8質量%でなければならない。
 さらに、本発明のはんだボールのSn-Ag-Cu-Ni系はんだ合金は、Niの含有量が0.05質量%未満では、Niを添加した効果が現れずにNi電極からNiが拡散しやすくなり、界面に金属間化合物が形成され易くなるので、Sn-Ag-Cu-Ni系はんだ合金中のNiの含有量は、0.05質量%以上でなければならない。同様に、Niの含有量が0.08質量%を越えると、接合界面に形成する金属間化合物中のNi濃度が上昇し接合強度が低下してしまう他、はんだ硬度の上昇が伴うため衝撃が負荷された場合、界面剥離が発生しやすくなる。また、Niの含有量が0.08質量%を越えると、未融合発生率が高くなる。そのため、本発明のはんだボールのSn-Ag-Cu-Ni系はんだ合金中のNiの含有量は0.05~0.08質量%である必要がある。
 本発明のはんだボールのSn-Ag-Cu-Ni系はんだ合金に、さらにFe、Co、Ptから選択される元素を1種以上を合計で0.003~0.1質量%添加しても良い。Fe、Co、Pt元素のはんだボール用の合金への添加は、接合界面に形成する金属間化合物層を微細化し、厚みを抑制するため、落下改善の効果がある。Fe、Co、Ptから選択される元素が0.003質量%未満では上記の効果が極めて得られにくく、0.1質量%を越えて添加するとはんだバンプ硬度が上昇し衝撃に対し界面剥離が発生するという弊害が現れる。
 本発明のはんだボールのSn-Ag-Cu-Ni系はんだ合金に、さらにBi、In、Sb、P、Geから選択される元素を1種以上を合計で0.003~0.1質量%添加しても良い。
はんだボールはモジュール基板に搭載された後、画像認識によってはんだ付けされているか否かの判定が行われる。もし、はんだボールに黄色などの変色があると、画像認識において不具合と判定される。そのため、はんだボールはリフローで変色されない方がよい。
 Bi、In、Sb、P、Geの添加による効果は、熱などによる変色を防止することで、バンプ品質検査におけるエラーを回避することができる。Bi、In、Sb、P、Geから選択される元素が、0.003質量%未満では上記の効果が極めて得られにくく、0.1質量%を越えて添加するとはんだバンプの硬度が増し、落下改善効果が損なわれる恐れがある。
 本発明のはんだボールは電極用として使用される。はんだボールの直径は、0.1mm以上、好ましくは0.3mm以上、より好ましくは0.5mm以上である。近年では電子機器の小型化が進み、電子部品に搭載されるはんだボールも微細化し続けている。フリップチップの接合には0.1mm以下のはんだボールが汎用的に使用されており、本発明はんだボールのような、フリップチップを内蔵するCSPやBGAを対象とした電極用はんだボールは0.1mm以上が主流となっている。
 次の表の組成のはんだ合金を作り、気中造球法で直径0.3mmのはんだボールを作製した。このはんだボールを用いて、以下の手順でCSP基板を作製した。
Figure JPOXMLDOC01-appb-T000001
 1.作製した各組成のはんだボールをサイズ12×12mmの電解Ni/Au、電解Ni/Pd/Au、CuランドにOSPで処理された電極を有するCSP用のモジュール基板に、千住金属工業株式会社製フラックスWF-6400を用いてリフローはんだ付けをし、各組成のはんだを電極用として用いたCSPを作製した。
 2.サイズ30×120mm、厚み0.8mmのガラスエポキシ基板(FR-4)にソルダペーストで電極パターンに従い印刷して、1で作製したCSPを搭載して、220℃以上40秒、ピーク温度245℃の条件でリフローを行った。
 3.次の条件で、落下衝撃試験を実施した。試験方法は、2で作製したCSP搭載ガラスエポキシ基板を用い、台座から10mm浮かせた位置に専用治具を用いて基板両端を固定させた。JEDEC規格に則り、加速度1500Gの衝撃を繰り返し加え、初期抵抗値から1.5倍上昇した時点を破断とみなし、落下回数を記録した。
 特許文献2のようなNiを多く含有したSn-Ag-Cu-Ni系はんだ合金を使用したはんだボールでは、Ni電極とはんだ付けする場合でも耐落下衝撃性が得られていないことが判る。
 未融合発生率においても同様のはんだボールを用い、以下の手順でCSP基板を作製した。
 1.作製した各組成のはんだボールを温度110℃、湿度85%,時間24hrの処理を施した。
 2.サイズ36×50mm、厚み1.2mmガラスエポキシ基板(FR-4)にソルダペーストで電極パターンに従い印刷を行い、1で作製したはんだボールを搭載して、220℃以上40秒、ピーク温度245℃の条件でリフローを行った。
 3.実体顕微鏡を用いて、はんだボールとソルダペーストの未融合数を記録し、未融合発生率を算出した。
 続いて作製したはんだボールを用いて、濡れ広がり試験を以下の手順で実施した。使用した基板材質は未融合発生率を調査した基板と同様のものを用いた。
 1.0.24mm×16mmのスリット状の電極を形成した厚み1.2mmガラスエポキシ基板(FR-4)を用い、0.24mmφ×厚み0.1mmの千住金属工業株式会社製フラックスWF-6400を印刷し、はんだボールを搭載して、220℃以上40秒、ピーク温度245℃の条件でリフローを行った。
2 .実体顕微鏡を用いて、濡れ広がり面積を測定した。
 比較例7、9、10、11、13はCu含有量が0.8質量%を超え、もしくはNi含有量が0.07質量%を超えて含有するはんだボール合金組成であるため、未融合発生率が8%を上回り抑制効果は得られていない。
 特に、比較例13における特許文献2記載のはんだ組成Sn-1.5Ag0.5Cu-0.5Niの未融合発生率は、格段に増加している。これは、はんだ中におけるNi含有量が多すぎるため、生成化合物量が過多となりペーストとの融合性を阻害、結果として未融合の発生率を増加させてしまっている。
 同様に比較例10、11は、Cu含有量が多すぎるために生成化合物が過多となり未融合発生を誘引している。
 さらに、比較例1~2においては、Ag量が少ないために著しい濡れ広がりの低下が見られる。実際に実施例1と比較すると、濡れ広がり面積が約20%以上低下している。濡れ広がりが不十分である場合、良好な接合が得られず接合強度が十分に保てない可能性がある。
 比較例3~6、8、12、14、15においては、未融合発生率が5%を下回り、かつ十分な濡れ広がりを確保しているものの、Ag、Cu、Ni含有量が最適化されていないため、落下改善効果が得られなくなる。 
 ここで、Sn1AgにおけるCu含有量を0.7質量%に固定しNi含有量について着目する。Ni含有量が0.08質量%を超え0.1質量%を選択した場合、未融合発生率は著しく増加してしまう。逆に0.05質量%を下回り0.02質量%を選択した場合、未融合への抑制効果は有するが、落下特性の耐性が得られていない。このようにNi含有量を0.05~0.08質量%で選択することにより未融合抑制と耐落下改善を兼ね備えたはんだ合金が得られる。
 続いて、Sn1AgにおけるNi含有量を0.05質量%に固定した場合でのCu含有量について、未融合抑制および耐落下改善を伴う範囲を確認する。Cu含有量が0.8質量%を超え1質量%を選択した場合、未融合発生率が著しく増加。さらに0.7質量%を下回り0.5質量%を選択した場合、落下改善効果が伴わず、両者を兼ね備えるはんだ合金としては、Cu含有量0.7~0.8質量%が最適と判断する。
 結論として、Ag0.5~1.1質量%、Cu0.7~0.8質量%、Ni0.05~0.08質量%、残部Snからなるはんだ組成において、AuめっきなどのNi電極部とCuに水溶性プリフラックスが塗布されたCu電極部共に使用可能であり、界面剥離抑制効果と未融合抑制効果の両方を兼ね備えていることから、電極が搭載された電子部品が落下した時の故障モードが低いはんだ合金が得られる。
 本発明により、Cu電極においてもNi電極においても耐落下衝撃性を有する電極用はんだボールが提供される。Sn-Ag-Cuの3元組成のはんだ合金に添加するNiの量が0.1質量%を超え過剰になると、はんだボール表面にNiを含む化合物が析出しやすくなると共に、実装ペーストとの融合不良を起こし易い。本発明のはんだボールはNi量を0.05~0.08質量%に抑えているので、化合物がはんだボール表面へ析出する現象が現れ難く、未融合現象の抑制にも効果がある。
