Solder balling in Sn/Ag/Cu solder pastes was studied in this work. Three different solder pastes, several different reflow profiles and conditions, and two stencil thicknesses were used in the investigation. During the first phase, called the verification phase, the solder pastes were checked to ensure they met the minimum requirements. In the process-screening phase, the reflow profile was varied. Results show that besides flux chemistry, reflow atmosphere plays the major role in solder balling. The average number of solder balls with the best paste was one fifth of that with the worst paste. Furthermore, with all the pastes, the number of solder balls dropped close to zero when nitrogen atmosphere was used. Another finding during the reflow process screening was the influence of the stencil thickness on the solderballing result. With a thinner stencil, two of the pastes exhibited significant solder balling. This is assumed to be caused by the different ability of fluxes to withstand oxidation during the preheating in the reflow process. In the last phase, the effect of the solder-paste particle size on solder balling was studied more closely. The flux chemistry was kept unchanged, and the solder particle size was varied between type 3 and type 4. The results show that, with type 4 paste, significantly more solder balls are formed compared to type 3 paste. It was also confirmed that, regarding the reflow profile, the ramp-up rate from 150°C to 217°C and the reflow atmosphere were the most significant factors that determine the solder-ball formation for both types of paste.
