The effects of Ni doping on microstructural variations and interfacial reactions in Cu/Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu-xNi/Au/Ni sandwich structures were investigated. The sandwich structures, i.e., Cu/Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu/Au/Ni and Cu/Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu-0.1Ni/Au/Ni (wt.%), were reflowed and isothermally aged at 150°C for 500 h. The behavior of Ni and Cu migration in the solders before and after aging was investigated using field-emission electron probe microanalysis (FE-EPMA), and the microstructure evolution of the solders with Ni doping was investigated. It was observed that Ni migrated to the board Cu-side, while Cu tended to migrate toward the Ni/Au package side, and two different types of (Cu,Ni) 6 Sn 5 intermetallic compounds (IMCs), one with 19.8 at.% to 23.4 at.% Ni and the other with 1.3 at.% to 6.4 at.% Ni content, were found. Regarding interfacial reactions, it was identified that the local Ni and Cu concentrations affected the formation of (Cu,Ni) 6 Sn 5 . Redistribution of Ni and Cu was correlated with the formation mechanism of interfacial (Cu,Ni) 6 Sn 5 .

Zn additions to Cu under bump metallurgy (UBM) in solder joints were the subject of this study. An alternative design was implemented to fabricate pure Sn as the solder and Cu-xZn (x = 15 wt.% and 30 wt.%) as the UBM to form the reaction couple. As the Zn content increased from 15 wt.% to 30 wt.% in the Sn/Cu-Zn system, growth of both Cu 3 Sn and Cu 6 Sn 5 was suppressed. In addition, no Kirkendall voids were observed at the interface in either Sn/Cu-Zn couple during heat treatment. After 40-day aging, different multilayered phases of [Cu 6 Sn 5 /Cu 3 Sn/Cu(Zn)] and [Cu 6 Sn 5 /Cu(Zn,Sn)/CuZn] formed at the interface of [Sn/Cu-15Zn] and [Sn/Cu-30Zn] couples, respectively. The growth mechanism of intermetallic compounds (IMCs) during aging is discussed on the basis of the composition variation in the joint assembly with the aid of electron-microscopic characterization and the Sn-Cu-Zn ternary phase diagram. According to these analyses of interfacial morphology and IMC formation in the Sn/Cu-Zn system, Cu-Zn is a potential UBM for retarding Cu pad consumption in solder joints.
