| Abstract | Electroplated Ni/Au over Cu is a popular metallization for printed circuit board (PCB) finish as well as for component leads, especially for wire-bondable high frequency packages, where the gold thickness (≥ 20 μinches) requirement is high for wire bonding. Redeposition of bulk AuSn4 intermetallic compound (IMC) at Au/Ni contact pads of isothermally conditioned SnAgCu (SAC) solder joints is a critical reliability concern in these packages because the interfacial layer between redeposited AuSn4 IMC and initially formed IMC during reflow at the contact pad after reflow is brittle in nature. Redeposition of bulk AuSn4 IMC in Pb-free SAC solder joints (most popularly SAC305) is also believed to be dependent on the degree of access to copper. This study examines the effect of varying gold content (2–5 nominal weight-%) in the solder joint and accessibility to copper (by presence or absence of nickel barrier layer on top of Cu plating) on redeposition of AuSn4 IMCs at the interface of isothermally aged SAC305 solder joints for 720 hours at 121°C (0.8*Tmelt). The modified lap shear Iosipescu specimens used for the study are divided into two batches: i] In the first batch, both the copper platens to be soldered are electroplated with Au and Ni. Ni barrier layers are used to completely stop the solder from accessing the Cu in the substrate ii] In the second batch, one Cu platen is electroplated with Au and Ni barrier layer but the other platen is electroplated only with copper (no Nickel layer), to allow accessibility of Cu from the substrate. Representative solder joints from above two batches are then cross-sectioned and analyzed using environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX) to investigate the composition, thickness and morphology of both bulk and interfacial IMCs. The first phase to form at the interface of the first batch of specimens after initial reflow is Ni3Sn4/(Ni,Cu)3Sn4. During the subsequent solid-state annealing, the redeposition of AuSn4 occurred in systems plated with Au/Ni on both sides. Contrarily, in the second batch when the solder joint has copper access from one side of the joint, the first intermetallic after reflow to form is (Cu,Ni,Au)6Sn5/(Cu,Au)6Sn5 and no redeposition of AuSn4 is observed after solid state annealing except for the solder joint containing nominal 5wt-% of Au. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
