the bumping pads. The peak temperature should be high enough for good wetting, but it should not be so high as to cause assembly damage or excessive intermetallic growth, which reduces the solder joint fatigue resistance and makes the solder joint brittle. In the cooling phase the parts should be cooled down as fast as possible in order to acheive small metal grains and hence a higher fatigue resistance of the solder joint. Too slow a cooling ramp will decrease the strength and give the joint a rough surface. In addition, reflow in nitrogen can help to prevent oxidation of the solder ball surface [73-74]. A nitrogen purged Heller 1800 reflow oven with nine heating zones was used for this work. - Reflow profile: The reflow profile is one of the important variables that significantly impacts product yield in the manufacturing process. In soldering, it is a complex set of time-temperature data related with an objected heat up and cool down. It is often measured as temperature values for a variety of process dimensions including slope, soak, time above liquidus, and peak [75]. Figure 3.17 is the reflow profile used in this research to form the solder joint on the wafer that met the requirement provided by the solder sphere vendor. 66
Figure 3.17 SAC305 Reflow profile - Solder wetting with different fluxes: Figure 3.18 shows the solder wettability with TSF-6592 no-clean flux and Lord no-flow flux after thermal reflow. Obviously, the no-clean flux had a very good solder wetting performance while the no-flow flux did not wet the solder onto the bumping sites. To investigate the root cause, different heating methods and bond pad cleaning processes were tried such as hotplate, higher reflow temperature, acid cleaning with various levels, etc. However none of these resolved the problem. 67
