[0039] In the above embodiment, the ratio of b1, b2 and b3 can help improve the strength and corrosion resistance of the solder layer, thereby helping to improve the welding quality.

[0040] Furthermore, b1 is 0.9% to 1%; and / or b2 is 0.7% to 0.8%; and / or b3 is 0.5% to 0.6%.

[0041] In the lead-free solder powder of the above embodiment, the mass content of tin is the remaining ratio excluding the above-mentioned components, and it can also be appropriately adjusted according to the content of each component.

[0042] In addition, the structure of lead-free solder powder can be improved to further enhance its anti-oxidation and anti-cracking properties to improve welding quality.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present invention, the thickness of the anti-oxidation layer is 10 nm to 50 nm. When the thickness of the anti-oxidation layer is within the above range, the corrosion resistance and crack resistance can be further enhanced.

[0046] The embodiments of the present invention are not particularly limited to the solder flux, and any solder flux known in the art may be used.

[0089] Test section

[0090] 1) Crack resistance test

[0091] 0.3 g of formic acid solder paste prepared in Examples 1-10 and Comparative Examples 1-5 was coated on the central part of a 0.5 mm thick substrate (an area of approximately 4 mm × 4 mm) to prepare a sample, and then the sample was placed in a reflow oven and heated by introducing formic acid gas. The reflow conditions were as follows: preheating temperature of 190°C for 90 seconds, peak temperature of 260°C for 100 seconds, and finally a cooling rate of 2°C / s from the peak temperature to 200°C to obtain a reflowed sample.

[0092] After reflowing, the sample was cut and the cross-section was polished. The polished cross-section was then observed using a scanning electron microscope. The size of the intermetallic compound structure precipitated in the reflowed solder was measured and evaluated according to the following criteria. The smaller the size of the intermetallic compound structure, the better the crack resistance. The test results are shown in Table 2.

[0093] Very good: The largest observed structure size is less than 30 μm.

[0094] Good: The maximum observed structure size is 30 μm or more and 80 μm or less.

[0095] Poor: The largest observed tissue size exceeds 80 μm.

[0096] 2) Pore area test

[0097] The formic acid solder paste prepared in Examples 1-10 and Comparative Examples 1-5 was printed onto a substrate for chip packaging, and the chip was mounted by a reflow soldering method, wherein a metal mask with a thickness of 200 μm was used to adjust the printed film thickness of the solder paste. After printing the solder paste, a chip with a length of 20 mm and a width of 12 mm was mounted on a specified position of the above-mentioned substrate and heated in a reflow soldering furnace. The reflow soldering conditions were: a preheating temperature of 190°C, a peak temperature of 250°C, and a heating time of 150 s.

[0098] After the substrate cooled, the solder surface was observed using X-rays. The ratio of the total area of pores to the area where solder was formed (pore area ratio) was measured. The pore formation was evaluated by averaging the pore area ratios at 10 solder pads on the substrate using the following criteria. The smaller the average pore area ratio, the better the soldering quality. The test results are shown in Table 2.

[0099] Very good: The average value of the pore area ratio is 4% or less.

[0100] Good: The average value of the pore area ratio is more than 4% and 8% or less.

[0101] Poor: The average value of the porosity area ratio exceeds 8%.

[0102] 3) Solder layer height test

[0103] The formic acid solder paste prepared in Examples 1-10 and Comparative Examples 1-5 was coated on the central part of a 0.5 mm thick substrate (an area of approximately 4 mm × 4 mm) to prepare a sample, and then the sample was placed in a reflow oven and heated by introducing formic acid gas. The reflow conditions were as follows: preheating temperature of 190°C for 90 seconds, peak temperature of 260°C for 100 seconds, and finally a cooling rate of 2°C / s when cooling from the peak temperature to 200°C to obtain a reflowed sample.

[0104] The distance from the bottom to the top of the solder layer was measured using a focal depth meter and used as the solder layer height. The solder layer height was measured at 100 random locations. The average value (average solder layer height) and height variation (standard deviation) were calculated from these measurements. The test results are shown in Table 2.

[0108]

[0109]

[0110] According to Table 1, by comparing the test results of Examples 1-10 and Comparative Examples 1-5, it can be seen that the embodiments of the present invention, through the related arrangement of the first lead-free solder powder, the second lead-free solder powder, and the third lead-free solder powder included in the lead-free solder powder, can not only effectively reduce cracks and pores in the solder layer formed by the solder paste, but also make the height of the solder layer formed by the solder paste more uniform, thereby further helping to improve the welding quality.
