11. Solder ball placement<br />

- Solder alloy selection: Although tin-lead solder was the most commonly used solder<br />

<strong>for</strong> decades in electronic assembly, the European Union and others have banned the<br />

use of lead in electronics <strong>for</strong> applications due to the adverse effects of lead on human<br />

health. Lead poisoning is linked to health hazards such as disorders of the nervous<br />

system, impaired pituitary – thyroid endocrine system, and delayed cognitive<br />

development [65]. After review by multiple organizations including NCMS, NEMI<br />

and SOLDERTEC, Sn–Ag–Cu (SAC) alloys have become the mainstream alloy<br />

system used to replace the conventional tin-lead solder in electronic assembly<br />

applications [66]. The main benefits of the various SAC alloy systems are their<br />

relatively low melting temperatures, solderability and superior mechanical properties<br />

[67-68]. Table 3.5 lists some leading lead free candidates that are near eutectic, with<br />

acceptable strength, thermal fatigue and wettability properties. Among all of these<br />

alloys, SAC305 is gaining wider acceptance <strong>for</strong> surface mount assemblies, especially<br />

<strong>for</strong> the thermal cycling environments. Good features of this alloy include excellent<br />
