A Novel Design of High-Temperature Lead-Free Solders for Die-Attachment in Power Discrete Applications
Development of high-temperature lead-free (HTLF) solders to replace high-lead solders for die-attachment in power device applications is driven by (1) the harmful effects of lead to human health and the environment, and (2) the demand of the improved bonding materials serving under high-power density and high-junction temperatures, especially for wide-band-gap power devices. A novel design, based on a mixed solder powder paste technology—Durafuse™—has been developed to deliver a Sn-rich HTLF paste, presenting the merits of both constituent powders. The combination of the rigid, high-melting SnSbCuAgX and the ductile, low-temperature Sn-rich solder in one paste enables reflow at a relatively low temperature (barely above the liquidus temperature of the final joint composition) and maintains the joint strength above 15MPa in the temperature range between 270°C and 295°C. The sufficient high-temperature strength has demonstrated the capability of maintaining the joint integrity during subsequent multiple SMT reflows below the 270°C peak temperature, regardless of the existence of a partial melting phase. Both X-ray inspection and cross-section microstructure have not shown any damage in the Si die or any noticeable cracks in the bonding joint, even after 3000 cycles of TCT (−40 to 150°C). In summary, Durafuse™ HT, the novel design of the high-temperature lead-free pastes, has shown the feasibility as a drop-in solution to replace high-lead solders for die-attachment in power discrete applications.
