A float-piece polisher was used to achieve ultra smooth and planar surface in nano-grinding way. The SEM was used to observe the diamond abrasive used in nano-grinding and the plate embedded with diamond abrasive. The slider surface was measured with SEM and AFM before and after nano-grinding. Though the micro-cutting of the continuous plane of the slider surface may exit, it was demonstrated that the un-continuous asperity of the slider surface can't be ignored in nano-grinding. According to the statistic analysis of the slider surface, the asperities are removed and replaced by a series of smaller asperities step by step, in this way, smoother surface is achieved gradually, and finally, a sub-nanometer smooth surface was achieved. A theoretical model was developed to illustrate the removal of single asperity removed by abrasive. The removal force taking by a single abrasive was calculated according to the model. Pole tip can be protected in some extent because of the regular arrange of the abrasive, so more planar slider surface was achieved in nano-grinding. Combined with the model and the distribution of the asperity of slider surface, the quality of the slider surface can be estimated and the nano-grinding procedure can be optimized.","PeriodicalId":325619,"journal":{"name":"2007 8th International Conference on Electronic Packaging Technology","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127640715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using this approach, the wettability of Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu (SAC) composite solder reinforced with micro-sized Ag and Cu particles was investigated by three methods: temperature profile, solder beading and copper clad laminate (CCL) wetting. The composite solder on copper coupon showed less wetting force in the temperature profile test than that of SAC due to the depression of flow of the molten solder by the Ag or Cu particles. It is also noted that during the soldering dwell time, the wetting force changed with time in either small step-wise force changes, or mild force increase, indicating some dynamical occurrence in the molten solder with reinforcing particles. The solder beading test revealed that the solder beading duration of the composite solder is fast than that of the SAC solder, possibly due to the excellent thermal conductivity of reinforcing particles. The CCL wetting tests pointed out that with the increase in weight proportion of reinforcing particles, the composite solder exhibited either smaller spreading area, or dull appearance with Ag particles added paste, and leaching of Cu particles into flux residues when Cu particles were used as reinforcement. The examination of the microstructure of SAC reinforced with 1% Ag particles revealed that although Ag particles quickly reacted with the molten solder and formed Ag3Sn intermetallic compounds, which distributed 11011-uniformly through the thickness of the solder. When reinforced with 1% Cu particles, the latter reacted with SAC to form Cu6Sn5 reinforcing particles, which dispersed also non-uniformly in the solder matrix. It is also noted that leaching of Cu particles through the flow of flux occurred. In view of the present results, further exploration for improvement in the manufacturability of the composite solder alloys is needed.","PeriodicalId":325619,"journal":{"name":"2007 8th International Conference on Electronic Packaging Technology","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130872463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Experimental results show that the defect causes a remarkable decline in strength and small specimens are more affected than big ones.
