A review of mechanical properties of lead-free solders for electronic packaging
Source abstract
Abstract
The characterization of lead-free solders, especially after isothermal aging, is very important in order to accurately predict the reliability of solder joints. However, due to lack of experimental testing standards and the high homologous temperature of solder alloys (Th > 0.5Tm even at room temperature), there are very large discrepancies in both the tensile and creep properties provided in current databases for both lead-free and Sn–Pb solder alloys. Some recent researches show that the room temperature aging has significant effects on mechanical properties of solders. This paper is intended to review all available data in the field and give rise to the possible factors including room temperature effects which causes the large discrepancies of data. This review of the research literatures has documented the dramatic changes that occur in the constitutive and failure behavior of solder materials and solder joint interfaces during isothermal aging. However, these effects have been largely ignored in most previous studies involving solder material characterization or finite element predictions of solder joint reliability during thermal cycling. It is widely acknowledged that the large discrepancies in measured solder mechanical properties from one study to another arise due to differences in the microstructures of the tested samples. This problem is exacerbated by the aging issue, as it is clear that the microstructure and material behavior of the samples used in even a single investigation are moving targets that change rapidly even at room temperature. Furthermore, the effects of aging on solder behavior must be better understood so that more accurate viscoplastic constitutive equations can be developed for SnPb and SAC solders. Without such well-defined relationship, it is doubtful that finite element reliability predictions can ever reach their full potential.
