Implication

Randomized trial investigates intermetallic compounds in solder joints, suggesting distinct reliability for different solder alloys.

Key Points

This study examines how aging affects the evolution of intermetallic compounds (IMCs) in solder joints on 3D aluminum IMSs using different solder alloys.
Analyzed intermetallic compounds in solder joints with ENIG metallization under high-temperature, high-humidity, and thermal-shock conditions.
Measured IMC thickness evolution and performed microstructural and compositional analyses.
Focused on SAC305 and Sn42Bi57Ag1 solder alloys.
Aging significantly modifies IMC composition and morphology in both solder systems.
SAC305 joints showed the development of (Cu,Ni)6Sn5 phases as Cu content increased.
Sn42Bi57Ag1 joints displayed susceptibility to stress-assisted IMC growth, while SAC305 joints were more sensitive to environment-assisted degradation.
