Abstract:
This paper investigates the solder performance of different commercial and MacDermid Α TrueHeight(exp TM) solder preforms with large area AMB vacuum solder on bare Cu substrates in terms of T0 and 1000 TS reliability. The soldered assemblies are initially characterized with X-Ray for void percentage and CSAM for delamination check. Cross sections of soldered parts are conducted and interface IMC BLT together with solder body crystal morphology are characterized. Results demonstrate excellent solder performance in large area solder application fields using MacDermid Α Solder preforms with the patented TrueHeight(exp TM) technology.
