Current challenges in printed circuit board (PCB) assembly require high-resolution deposition of ultra-fine pitch components (<0.3 mm and <60 μm respectively), high throughput and compatibility with flexible substrates, which are poorly met by the conventional deposition techniques (e.g., stencil printing). Laser-Induced Forward Transfer (LIFT) constitutes an excellent alternative for assembly of electronic components: it is fully compatible with lead-free soldering materials and offers high-resolution printing of solder paste bumps (<60 μm) and throughput (up to 10,000 pads/s). In this work, the laser-process conditions which allow control over the transfer of solder paste bumps and arrays, with form factors in line with the features of fine pitch PCBs, are investigated. The study of solder paste as a function of donor/receiver gap confirmed that controllable printing of bumps containing many microparticles is feasible for a gap < 100 μm from a donor layer thickness set at 100 and 150 μm. The transfer of solder bumps with resolution < 100 μm and solder micropatterns on different substrates, including PCB and silver pads, have been achieved. Finally, the successful operation of a LED interconnected to a pin connector bonded to a laser-printed solder micro-pattern was demonstrated.

Abstract Leadfree electronics in harsh environments often may be exposed to elevated temperature for the duration of storage, transport, and usage in addition to high strain rate triggering loads during drop-impact, vibration, and shock. These electronic components may get exposed to high strain rates of 1 to 100 s−1 and operating temperatures up to 200 °C in critical surroundings. Doped SAC solder alloys such as SAC-Q are being considered for use in fine-pitch electronic components. SAC-Q consists of Sn-Ag-Cu alloy in addition to Bi (SAC+Bi). Prior data presented to date for lead-free solders, such as SAC-Q alloy, at high aging temperature and high strain rate are for 50 °C sustained exposure. In this paper, the effect of sustained exposure to temperature of 100 °C on high strain rate properties of SAC-Q is studied. Thermally aged SAC-Q samples at 100 °C have been tested at a range of strain rates including 10, 35, 50, and 75 s−1 and operating temperatures ranging from 25 °C up to 200 °C. Stress–strain curves are established for the given range of strain rates and operating temperatures. Also, the computed experimental results and data have been fitted to the Anand viscoplasticity model for SAC-Q for comparison.

To meet the growing demand for adapted 3D electronic devices, e. g. for customized electronic components as well as for Molded Interconnect Devices in small batches, 3D aerosol-jet printing combined with widely-used rapid prototyping methods like stereolithography and powder bed based printing is investigated. Compared to other printing methods for fine pitch structures, the innovative contact- and maskless aerosol-jetting is advantageous for structuring of spatial substrates. This is due to the large viscosity range of processible inks, a flexible stand-off between substrate and nozzle as well as the focal length of the aerosol beam. Focus of the printing tests on stereolithography materials presented in the paper is the suitability of the nanoparticle silver inks (solvent: water and ethylene glycol, respectively) for additive manufacturing of conductor tracks concerning adhesiveness, conductivity and wettability, which can be improved by plasma treatment. Furthermore, test specimens were assembled by mounting of electronic components using isotropic conductive adhesive. Long term reliability tests of these specimens (thermal cycling at −40 °C/+125 °C; temperature humidity test 85 °C/85 % r. h.) were performed in respect of conductivity of circuit tracks and quality of the adhesive joints. Compared to stereolithography materials aerosol-jet printing on powder bed materials requires adapted processing for functionalization. Due to the rough and porous surface and the low thermal stability of the PMMA powder materials, selective sintering of silver tracks by light was examined as well as printing on PU infiltrated surfaces. Despite of reduced contour definition, good conductivity was achieved.

Abstract Leadfree electronics in harsh environments may often be exposed to elevated temperature for the duration of storage, process and usage in addition to high strain rate triggering loads during drop-impact, vibration and shock. These electronic components may get exposed to high strain rates of 1 to 100 per seconds and operating temperature up to 200°C in the critical surroundings. SAC solder alloys (e.g. SAC-Q (CYCLOMAX), and Innolot) are being considered for use in fine-pitch electronic components. SAC-Q consists of Sn-Ag-Cu alloy in addition to Bi (SAC+Bi). The data presented till date for lead-free solders like SAC-Q alloy at high aging temperature and at high strain rate are for 50°C sustained exposure. In this paper, effect of sustained exposure of 100°C on high strain rate properties of SAC-Q is studied. Thermally aged SAC-Q samples at 100°C have been tested at a range of strain rates including 10, 35, 50, and 75 per second and operating temperatures starting from 25°C up to 200°C. Stress-strain curves are established for the given range of strain rates and operating temperatures.
