A Review of Interface Microstructures in Electronic Packaging Applications: Soldering Technology
- Sandia National Lab. (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
Here, this report examines the role of interfaces in electronic packaging applications with the focus placed on soldering technology. Materials and processes are described with respect to their roles on the performance and reliability of associated interfaces. The discussion will also include interface microstructures created by coatings and finishes that are frequently used in packaging applications. Numerous examples are cited to illustrate the importance of interfaces in physical and mechanical metallurgy as well as the engineering function of interconnections. Regardless of the specific application, interfaces are non-equilibrium structures, which has important ramifications for the long-term reliability of electronic packaging.
