저융점 Sn-Bi 솔더의 신뢰성 개선 연구 = Improvement of Reliability of Low-melting Temperature Sn-Bi Solder

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Recently, semiconductor devices have been used in many fields owing to various applications of mobile electronics, wearable and flexible devices and substrates. During the semiconductor chip bonding process, the mismatch of coefficient o f thermal expansion (CTE) between the substrate and the solder, and the excessive heat applied to the entire substrate and components affect the performance and reliability of the device. These problems can cause warpage and deterioration of long-term reliability of the electronic packages. In order to improve these issues, many studies on low-melting temperature solders, which is capable of performing a low-temperature process, have been actively conducted.
Among the various low-melting temperature solders, such as Sn-Bi and Sn-In, Sn-58Bi solder is attracting attention as a promising low-temperature solder because of its advantages such as high yield strength, moderate mechanical property, and low cost. However, due to the high brittleness of Bi, improvement of the Sn-Bi solder is needed. In this review paper, recent research trends to improve the mechanical properties of Sn-Bi solder by adding trace elements or particles were introduced and compared.

국문 초록 (Abstract)

최근 반도체 소자는 모바일 전자제품과 wearable 및 flexible한 소자와 기판의 다양한 활용으로 많은 분야에서폭넓게 사용되고 있다. 이들 반도체 칩 접합 공정 중 기판과 솔더의 열팽창 계수(CTE)의 차이와 기판 및 부품 전체에 인가되는 과도한 열 영향은 소자의 성능 및 신뢰성에 영향을 주며, 최종적으로 휨(warpage) 현상 및 장기 신뢰성 저하 등을초래한다. 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위해 저온에서 공정이 가능한 저융점 솔더에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다.
Sn-Bi, Sn-In 등 다양한 저융점 솔더 합금 중 Sn-Bi 솔더는 높은 항복 강도, 적절한 기계적 특성 및 저렴한 가격 등의 이점이 있어 유망한 저온 솔더로 각광받고 있다. 그러나 Bi의 높은 취성 특성 등 단점으로 인해 솔더 합금의 개선이 필요하다. 본 review 논문에서는 다양한 미량 원소와 입자를 첨가하여 Sn-Bi 소재의 기계적 특성 개선을 위한 연구 동향을 소개하며 이를 비교 분석하였다.
