Abstract

The present study investigates the behavior of Sn whisker growth on Sn-0.7Cu-0.05Ni solder joints during thermal cycling conducted for 1500 cycles at temperature of − 40 (+ 0/− 10) °C and + 85 (+ 10/− 0) °C through industry standard practices JESD22-A121A established by the Joint Electron Device Engineering Council (JEDEC). Results determine that the growth rate of Sn whisker on the Sn-0.7Cu-0.05Ni solder joint was slower than the Sn-0.7Cu solder joint and consequently show that the 0.05% addition of Ni is able to suppress the growth of Sn whisker during thermal cycling. Furthermore, the stabilization of hexagonal η-Cu₆Sn₅ of (Cu,Ni)₆Sn₅ IMC interfacial layer in Sn-0.7Cu-0.05Ni solder joints significantly contributes to a lower coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) compared to Cu₆Sn₅ IMC interfacial layer, thereby reducing thermal mismatch stress for Sn whisker growth on the Sn0.7Cu0.05Ni solder joint. The implications of this study are substantial for effective approach to mitigate Sn whiskers growth through consistent inspection protocols and adherence to industry standard practices.

热循环期间锡-0.7 铜-0.05 镍焊点上锡晶须的生长行为

本研究通过电子器件工程联合委员会（JEDEC）制定的行业标准 JESD22-A121A，对锡-0.7铜-0.05镍焊点在-40（+ 0/- 10）℃和+85（+ 10/- 0）℃温度下进行 1500 次热循环时的锡晶须生长行为进行了调查。结果表明，锡-0.7 铜-0.05 镍焊点上锡须的生长速度比锡-0.7 铜焊点慢，因此表明添加 0.05% 的镍能够抑制热循环过程中锡须的生长。此外，与 Cu6Sn5 IMC 界面层相比，Sn-0.7Cu-0.05Ni 焊点中 (Cu,Ni)6Sn5 IMC 界面层的六角形 η-Cu6Sn5 稳定化显著降低了热膨胀系数 (CTE)，从而减少了 Sn0.7Cu0.05Ni 焊点上锡须生长的热失配应力。这项研究对通过一致的检测协议和遵守行业标准实践来减少锡须生长的有效方法具有重大意义。
