Abstract
Because of its outstanding advantages, sintered nano silver is considered the most promising interconnect material in power module packaging such as silicon carbide (SiC). In view of the wettability of the interface between sintered nano silver and metal substrate, the influence of the metallization layer, which is adopted to improve the wettability of the interface between sintered nanosilver and metal substrate, on the interface bonding strength has also become a research focus. In this paper, a cohesive zone model (CZM), which can describe the failure damage and shear fracture process, is used to predict the bonding strength of “sandwich” structures with different metallization layers based on the die shear test. Considering the effect of high temperature aging, the mechanism of different substrate metallization and high temperature aging conditions on the shear strength of sintered silver interconnect layer was presented. Based on the fracture surface morphology of sintered silver adhesive joint, the mechanism of bonding strength of samples with different metallization layers changes with high temperature aging is verified. In addition, the CZM model and related parameters proposed in this paper can be directly used to evaluate the reliability of sintered Ag-Al interface in power device applications.
期刊介绍:
The scope of the publication includes, but is not limited to Reliability of: Devices, Materials, Processes, Interfaces, Integrated Microsystems (including MEMS & Sensors), Transistors, Technology (CMOS, BiCMOS, etc.), Integrated Circuits (IC, SSI, MSI, LSI, ULSI, ELSI, etc.), Thin Film Transistor Applications. The measurement and understanding of the reliability of such entities at each phase, from the concept stage through research and development and into manufacturing scale-up, provides the overall database on the reliability of the devices, materials, processes, package and other necessities for the successful introduction of a product to market. This reliability database is the foundation for a quality product, which meets customer expectation. A product so developed has high reliability. High quality will be achieved because product weaknesses will have been found (root cause analysis) and designed out of the final product. This process of ever increasing reliability and quality will result in a superior product. In the end, reliability and quality are not one thing; but in a sense everything, which can be or has to be done to guarantee that the product successfully performs in the field under customer conditions. Our goal is to capture these advances. An additional objective is to focus cross fertilized communication in the state of the art of reliability of electronic materials and devices and provide fundamental understanding of basic phenomena that affect reliability. In addition, the publication is a forum for interdisciplinary studies on reliability. An overall goal is to provide leading edge/state of the art information, which is critically relevant to the creation of reliable products.
