This study aims to evaluate solder joint reliability under high speed impact tests using nanoindentation properties of intermetallic compounds (IMCs) at the joint interface. Sn–Ag based solder joints with different kinds of interfacial IMCs were obtained through the design of solder alloy/substrate material combinations. Nanoindentation was applied to investigate the mechanical properties of IMCs, including hardness, Young’s modulus, work hardening exponent, yield strength, and plastic ability. Experimental results suggest that nanoindentation responses of IMCs at joint interface definitely dominates joint impact performance. The greater the plastic ability the interfacial IMC exhibits, the superior impact energy the solder joints possess. The concept of mechanical and geometrical discontinuities was also proposed to explain brittle fracture of the solder joints with bi-layer interfacial IMCs subject to impact load.

Abstract The reliability of solder joints have been studied for many years. The selection of a solder for a particular application is often limited based on melting point requirements. This limits the number of options that are available for use. When alloy selection options are limited, people look to process changes to try and improve the reliability. Two such areas that have been identified that can impact reliability are bondline control and void reduction. This paper analyzes a new reinforced solder technology to maintain a consistent solder joint bondline. Experiments were also conducted to determine how best to design these preforms to minimize voiding.

Impact load was applied to hardened cement paste (HCP) specimens using a gas gun to investigate microscopic changes in the specimens and develop a better response model of concrete subjected to impact load. Plasma emission was observed at the moment of impact at 420 m/s and the colour of the portion near the impact point turned brighter. This brighter portion was analysed, and it was observed that the pore structure was coarser compared to the other portion; however, the results of thermogravimetry and X-ray diffraction analysis were similar. A possible reason is that the generated heat was instantaneous and the rate of the temperature increase in the HCP decreased due to evaporation of water in the HCP. These results indicate that during impact at a few hundred m/s, porosity increase due to heat effect is more dominant than porosity decrease due to mechanical compaction.

The ball impact test (BIT) was developed based on the demand of a package-level measure of the board-level reliability of solder joints in the sense that it leads to brittle intermetallic fracturing, similar to that from a board-level drop test. The BIT itself stands alone as a unique and novel test methodology in characterizing strengths of solder joints under a high-speed shearing load. In this work, we present BIT results conducted at an impact velocity of 500 mm/s on Sn-4Ag-0.5Cu, Sn-1Ag-0.5Cu, Sn-1Ag-0.5Cu-0.05Ni, Sn-1.2Ag-0.5Cu-0.05Ni, and Sn-1Ag-0.5Cu-0.05Ge package-level solder joints, bonded on substrate pads of immersion tin (IT) and direct solder on pad (DSOP) surface finishes. Differences of BIT results with respect to multi-reflow are also reported.
