Abstract:
A lead-free solder alloy suitable for use in flow soldering of electronic components to printed wiring boards comprises 0.1-3 wt % of Cu, 0.001-0.1 wt % of P, optionally 0.001-0.1 wt % of Ge, and a balance of Sn. The solder alloy may further contain at least one element of Ag and Sb in a total amount of at most 4 wt %, and/or at least one element of Ni, Co, Fe, Mn, Cr, and Mo in a total amount of at most 0.5 wt % in order to strengthen the alloy, and/or at least one element of Bi, In, and Zn in a total amount of at most 5 wt % in order to lower the melting point of the alloy.
Abstract:
A lead-free solder alloy comprises 1.0–5.0 wt % Ag, 0.01–0.5 wt % Ni, one or both of (a) 0.001–0.05 wt % Co and (b) at least one of P, Ge, and Ga in a total amount of 0.001–0.05 wt %, and a remainder of Sn. The solder can form solder bumps which have a high bonding strength and which do not undergo yellowing after soldering.
Abstract:
A manufacturing method for a material increases the effectiveness of a component so the component can be present in an amount which does not produce undesirable effects. A material is prepared containing the component in a first concentration. The component is at least partially removed to lower the concentration of the component to a second concentration. The concentration of the component may then be increased to a third concentration above the second concentration.
Abstract:
A lead-free solder alloy having improved surface properties which suppresses minute irregularities and shrinkage cavities has a composition consisting essentially of Ag: 0.1-1.5%, Bi: 2.5-5.0%, Cu: 0.5-1.0%, optionally Ni: 0.015-0.035% and/or at least one of Ge and Ga: 0.0005-0.01%, and a remainder of Sn and unavoidable impurities.
Abstract:
An anisotropic conductive material contains low melting point electrically conductive particles in a thermosetting resin. The low melting point particles have a solidus temperature of at least 125° C., a peak temperature of at most 200° C., and a temperature difference between the solidus temperature and the peak temperature of at least 15° C. The maximum particle diameter of the low melting point particles is smaller than ¼ of the spacing between adjoining conductors atop which the anisotropic conductive material is to be disposed.

Abstract:
Solder used for flip chip bonding inside a semiconductor package was a Sn—Pb solder such as a Pb-5Sn composition. Lead-free solders which have been studied are hard and easily form intermetallic compounds with Sn, so they were not suitable for a flip chip connection structure inside a semiconductor package, which requires stress relaxation properties. This problem is eliminated by a flip chip connection structure inside a semiconductor package using a lead-free solder which is characterized by consisting essentially of 0.01-0.5 mass percent of Ni and a remainder of Sn. 0.3-0.9 mass percent of Cu and 0.001-0.01 mass percent of P may be added to this solder composition.
Abstract:
A power semiconductor device includes a substrate, an element circuit pattern formed on the substrate and made of Cu covered with an electroless Ni—P plating layer, and a power semiconductor element bonded to the element circuit pattern by a solder, wherein the solder is an alloy of Sn, Sb, and Cu, and the weight percent of Cu is in the range of 0.5 to 1%, inclusive.
