Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of microelectronic packaging, and particularly relates to a multi-component tin-indium-based lead-free low-temperature solder and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the increasing demand for low-cost and low-temperature soldering processes in the field of electronic packaging, the currently developed low-temperature solders include pure indium and pure tin solders. Among them, the pure indium solder has excellent performance, but the price of indium metal is high, and the cost is very high, so there is basically no pure indium solder product on the market; the melting point of the pure tin solder is about 232℃, but the pouring temperature reaches about 350℃, which cannot be normally applied in a low-temperature welding environment.

[0003] Lead-free low-temperature solder alloys have rapidly developed in recent years due to environmental protection requirements and the trend of miniaturization of electronic equipment. The core advantage is the low-temperature welding characteristic, which can reduce the damage to heat-sensitive components and reduce energy consumption. Commonly used lead-free low-temperature solder alloys include tin-bismuth and tin-indium systems. The tin-bismuth alloy has been scaled in the notebook computer motherboard field due to its low melting point; and the tin-indium alloy has a lower melting point and better wetting performance, and is suitable for biological medical and aviation low-temperature packaging fields, but the melting point and performance of the tin-indium alloy are related to the proportion of indium in the alloy, and the high indium content leads to high cost.

[0004] Chinese patent CN202411113336.9 proposes a full-IMC phase Sn-Bi-In-Ag-Zn high-entropy low-temperature solder for chip interconnection and a preparation method thereof. The steps of the preparation method include: (1) weighing high-purity Sn, In, Bi, and Ag particles according to the designed proportion, and covering them with 1.3:1 KCl and LiCl molten eutectic salt protection, smelting Sn-In-Bi-Ag four-element intermediate alloy, and sequentially placing Sn, In, Bi, and Ag in the order of low-density metal first and high-density metal last to reduce specific gravity segregation during smelting, and directly pouring into water for cooling after 2h of 850℃ holding and sufficient stirring; (2) weighing high-purity Zn particles and Sn-In-Bi-Ag four-element intermediate alloy according to the designed proportion, and placing the Sn-In-Bi-Ag four-element intermediate alloy on the Zn particles to play a protective role, pouring the molten KCl and LiCl eutectic salt on the surface of the metal raw material, and directly pouring into water for cooling after 1h of 500℃ holding and sufficient stirring to obtain Sn-Bi-In-Ag-Zn high-entropy alloy solder. However, the In element accounts for more than 25% in the solder obtained by the preparation method, and other noble metals are added, so the cost is still high.

[0005] In summary, it is an urgent problem in the technical field to develop a lead-free, environmentally friendly, low-cost, and low-temperature solder with welding performance comparable to that of high-indium-content alloy. SUMMARY

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the application provides a multi-component tin-indium lead-free low-temperature solder and a preparation method thereof.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the application provides the following technical scheme.

[0008] One of the objects of the application is to provide a multi-component tin-indium lead-free low-temperature solder, which comprises the following components in percentage by mass: Bi: 0.5-5%, Ga: 0.1-1.5%, and the rest is Sn25In matrix and an unavoidable small amount of impurities.

[0009] The multi-component lead-free low-temperature solder provided by the application is mainly tin-indium alloy. The melting point of In element is only 156.61℃, and the solder alloy has good thermal and electrical conductivity, good fluidity, low expansion rate and other characteristics. The addition of In element to the solder alloy can reduce the melting point, and the solder is lead-free and non-toxic, and environmentally friendly. The solder also adds Bi element and Ga element. The Bi element can reduce the melting point of the solder alloy, and the Bi also has the characteristics of solidification expansion, which can offset the stress generated by thermal expansion and cold shrinkage during welding, and reduce the risk of cracking of the solder joint. However, if the content of Bi exceeds 7.5%, the solder joint will be filled with a raised or cracked phenomenon. The Ga element has an ultra-low melting point of only 29.76℃, and the Ga also has excellent wettability and fluidity, which can increase the soldering spread area of the solder alloy by 15-20%, and reduce the risk of false welding.

[0010] Further, the multi-component tin-indium lead-free low-temperature solder comprises the following components in percentage by mass: Bi: 0.99-2%, Ga: 0.1-1%, and the rest is Sn25In matrix and an unavoidable small amount of impurities.

[0011] Further, the multi-component tin-indium lead-free low-temperature solder comprises the following components in percentage by mass: Bi: 0.99-2%, Ga: 0.1-1%, and the rest is Sn25In matrix and an unavoidable small amount of impurities.

[0012] Further, in the Sn25In matrix, the mass ratio of Sn and In is (72.75-74.18):(24.25-24.73).

[0013] The second object of the application is to provide a preparation method of a multi-component tin-indium lead-free low-temperature solder, which comprises the following steps:

[0014] Preparation of Sn25In matrix;

[0015] The Bi, Ga and Sn25In matrix are weighed and mixed to obtain a mixture, the mixture is added into a lead-free graphite heating furnace, an antioxidant is added, and the second heating is carried out under a nitrogen atmosphere until the material is melted, and the second constant temperature stirring is carried out, and the multi-component tin indium system lead-free low-temperature solder is obtained by pouring into a mold.

[0016] Further, the preparation method of the Sn25In matrix comprises the following steps: Sn raw material is added into a lead-free graphite heating furnace for first heating until the material is melted, then In raw material is added, and heating is continued until melting, and first constant temperature stirring is carried out to obtain the Sn25In matrix.

[0017] Further, the temperature of the first heating is 300-350℃; and / or,

[0018] The specific operation steps of the first constant temperature stirring are: stirring at 300-350℃ for 30 minutes.

[0019] Further, the antioxidant is added in an amount that can fully cover the surface; and the antioxidant is rosin.

[0020] Further, the temperature of the second heating is 300-350℃; and / or,

[0021] The specific operation steps of the second constant temperature stirring are: stirring at 300-350℃ for 30 minutes and then keeping warm for 30 minutes to mix the multiple elements uniformly.

[0022] Further, the material of the mold is graphite.

[0023] The third object of the present application is to provide an application of the multi-component tin indium system lead-free low-temperature solder in the field of microelectronic packaging low-temperature welding.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages and technical effects:

[0025] 1. Inhibit low-temperature phase transition and prevent "tin epidemic": Tin is prone to allotropy transformation (beta tin→alpha tin) in low-temperature environment, i.e. "tin epidemic", which can cause material pulverization failure. The addition of bismuth can effectively inhibit this phenomenon and improve the low-temperature stability of the solder, so that it still maintains structural integrity in a low-temperature environment. This characteristic is particularly important for electronic devices that need to work in a low-temperature environment for a long time.

[0026] 2. Enhance oxidation resistance and welding quality: The addition of bismuth and gallium can reduce the oxidation tendency of the solder and significantly improve the oxidation resistance of the solder; if further adding nano-particles in the solder, the mechanical properties caused by the addition of gallium can be compensated, so that the solder becomes a lead-free low-temperature solder with excellent low-temperature characteristics, wetting performance, mechanical properties and other performances.

[0027] 3. Optimizing mechanical properties and reliability: The addition of bismuth can improve the ductility and fatigue resistance of the alloy, while the liquid wetting properties of gallium help to form a more uniform weld structure. After adding bismuth, the solder will form a fine-grained structure during solidification, thereby reducing the tendency of cracking and improving joint strength. In addition, the flowability of gallium can also enhance the coverage of solder on complex surfaces, enhancing the reliability of welding.

[0028] 4. Expanding application scenarios: Bismuth and gallium-containing tin-indium-based solders are not only suitable for traditional electronic packaging, but also can be used for special welding in low-temperature environments (such as aerospace equipment), high-precision sputtering target binding, and connection of heat-sensitive components.

[0029] 5. Low cost: The solder formulation of the present application significantly reduces the amount of metal In compared to traditional tin-indium-based solder formulations, thereby achieving low cost. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0090] The results showed that the melting point was much higher than that of Examples 1-4, and the melting performance was very poor.

[0091] Performance testing:

[0092] 1. For welding materials, melting characteristics are an important aspect of their weldability. The melting points of the samples prepared in the examples and comparative examples were determined using a differential thermal analyzer at an acceleration rate of 5°C / min under nitrogen conditions. The results are as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown.

[0093] Figure 1 The melting characteristic curve of the multi-component tin-indium-based lead-free low-temperature solder prepared in Example 1 of this invention is shown below. Figure 1 As can be seen, the melting temperature is 118.2℃.

[0094] Figure 2 The melting characteristic curve of the multi-component tin-indium-based lead-free low-temperature solder prepared in Example 2 of this invention is shown below. Figure 2 As can be seen, the melting temperature is 115.9℃.

[0095] Figure 3 The melting characteristic curve of the multi-component tin-indium-based lead-free low-temperature solder prepared in Example 3 of this invention is shown below. Figure 3 As can be seen, the melting temperature is 115.6℃.

[0096] Figure 4 The melting characteristic curve of the multi-component tin-indium-based lead-free low-temperature solder prepared in Example 4 of this invention is shown below. Figure 4 As can be seen from this, the melting temperature is 114.4℃.

[0097] Figure 5 The melting characteristic curve of the solder prepared in Comparative Example 1 of this invention is shown below. Figure 5 As can be seen, the melting temperature is 141.12℃.

[0098] Figure 6 The melting characteristic curve of the solder prepared in Comparative Example 2 of this invention is shown below. Figure 6 As can be seen, the melting temperature is 121.2℃;

[0099] Figure 7 The melting characteristic curve of the solder prepared in Comparative Example 3 of this invention is shown below. Figure 7 As can be seen, the melting temperature is 140.69℃.

[0100] By comparison Figures 1-7 It can be seen that the melting point of the multi-component tin-indium-based lead-free low-temperature solder prepared in Examples 1-4 is lower than that of Comparative Examples 1, 2, and 3, indicating that the multi-component tin-indium-based lead-free low-temperature solder prepared in Examples 1-4 of the present invention has a better low-temperature melting effect.

[0101] 2. The tensile strength of the solder is one of the important indicators for evaluating the quality of welding.

[0102] Figure 8 This is a comparison chart of the tensile strength of the solders prepared in Examples 1, 2, 3, 4, and Comparative Example 1 of the present invention. Figure 8 As shown, the tensile strength of Examples 1-4 is significantly improved compared with Comparative Example 1 because the added bismuth metal forms a solid solution or intermetallic compound with tin, which significantly improves the hardness and tensile strength of the solder. Although the added gallium metal will gradually reduce the tensile strength, it is still improved overall compared with the comparative example.

[0103] Figure 9 The crystal phase diagrams of the solders prepared in Examples 1, 2, 3, 4 and Comparative Example 1 of this invention are shown below. Figure 9 As can be seen, the microcracks in Comparative Example 1 are significantly wider than those in the other four examples, indicating that the solidification expansion characteristics of Bi effectively offset the welding stress, and the low melting point of Ga improves the melt fluidity, forming a dense and continuous gradient phase distribution. The addition of Bi element inhibits the formation of brittle phases (such as Sn3In4) in the Sn-In alloy and avoids the segregation of brittle networks at grain boundaries, while the wettability of Ga optimizes the bonding interface between the liquid metal and the matrix. No needle-like or blocky brittle phases were observed in the crystal phase diagram, only Sn-In solid solution and a small amount of uniformly dispersed second-phase particles were present.

[0104] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
