摘要
The spalling phenomenon on under bump metallization (UBM) is one of the current urgent reliability issues for the Pb-free solder implementation in flip chip technology. In this paper, we report that spalling of Ni thin UBM can be prevented during the soldering reaction, if a Cu reservoir is introduced into the structure of controlled collapse chip connections (C4) solder joints. Once molten Sn-3.5Ag solder was saturated with Cu atoms, Cu precipitated out as a layer of Cu-Sn compound on Ni thin UBM. The Cu-Sn compound layer served as a reaction barrier to retard the consumption of Ni thin UBM. So, spalling was retarded. After prolonged reflowing, Ni thin UBM was converted to ternary Cu-Sn-Ni compounds. Unlike interfaces of the Ni-Sn compound/Cr, the interface of the Cu-Sn-Ni compound/Cr was very stable and no spalling was found.
