솔더 접합부에 생성된 Void의 JEDEC 규격과 기계적 특성에 미치는 영향

Analysis of Void Effects on Mechanical Property of BGA Solder Joint

Understanding the void characterization in the solder joints has become more important because of the application of lead free solder materials and its reliabilty in electronic packaging technology. According to the JEDEC 217 standard, it describes void types formed in the solder joints, and divides into some categories depending on the void position and formation cause. Based on the previous papers and the standards related to the void, reliability of the BGA solder joints is determined by the size of void, as well as the location of void inside the BGA solder ball. Prior to reflow soldering process, OSP(organic surface preservative) finished Cu electrode was exposed under 85℃/60%RH(relative humidity) for 168 h. Voids induced by the exposure of 85℃/60%RH became larger and bigger with increasing aging times. The void position has more influence on mechanical strength property than the amount of void growth does.
