Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of microelectronic packaging technology, and particularly relates to a multi-component tin-indium based lead-free low-temperature solder and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing demand for low-cost and low-temperature soldering processes in the electronic packaging field, currently developed low-temperature solders include pure indium and pure tin solders. Among them, pure indium solder has excellent performance, but indium metal is expensive, resulting in high costs, so there are basically no pure indium solder products on the market; pure tin solder has a melting point of about 232℃, but the casting temperature reaches about 350℃, making it unsuitable for normal application in low-temperature soldering environments.
[0003] Lead-free low-temperature solder alloys have seen rapid development in recent years due to environmental protection requirements and the trend towards miniaturization of electronic devices. Their core advantage lies in their low-temperature soldering characteristics, which can reduce damage to heat-sensitive components and lower energy consumption. Commonly used lead-free low-temperature solder alloys include tin-bismuth and tin-indium alloys. Tin-bismuth alloys, with their low melting point, have achieved large-scale application in the notebook motherboard field; while tin-indium alloys have an even lower melting point and superior wetting properties, making them suitable for biomedical and aerospace low-temperature packaging applications. However, the melting point and performance of tin-indium alloys are related to the proportion of indium in the alloy, and high indium content leads to high costs.
[0004] Chinese patent CN202411113336.9 proposes a full IMC phase Sn-Bi-In-Ag-Zn high-entropy low-temperature solder for chip interconnect and its preparation method. The preparation method includes the following steps: (1) weighing high-purity Sn, In, Bi, and Ag particles according to the design ratio, and covering them with a 1.3:1 KCl and LiCl molten eutectic salt for protection, melting the Sn-In-Bi-Ag quaternary intermediate alloy, and placing Sn, In, Bi, and Ag in sequence with the low-density metal at the bottom and the high-density metal at the top. g. To reduce specific gravity segregation during the smelting process, the material was kept at 850℃ for 2 hours and stirred thoroughly before being directly cast into water for cooling. (2) High-purity Zn particles and Sn-In-Bi-Ag quaternary master alloy were weighed according to the design ratio, and the Sn-In-Bi-Ag quaternary master alloy was placed on the Zn particles for protection. Molten KCl and LiCl eutectic molten salt were poured onto the surface of the metal raw material, kept at 500℃ for 1 hour and stirred thoroughly before being directly cast into water for cooling to obtain Sn-Bi-In-Ag-Zn high-entropy alloy solder. However, the proportion of In element in the solder obtained by this preparation method exceeds 25%, and other precious metals are added, so the cost is still relatively high.
[0005] In summary, developing a lead-free, environmentally friendly, low-cost low-temperature solder with welding performance comparable to high-indium alloys is an urgent problem to be solved in this technical field. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention proposes a multi-component tin-indium based lead-free low-temperature solder and its preparation method. This method significantly reduces costs, is environmentally friendly, and produces a low-temperature solder with excellent thermal conductivity, ductility, and wettability, making it suitable for low-temperature soldering in the field of microelectronic packaging technology.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0008] One of the objectives of this invention is to provide a multi-component tin-indium-based lead-free low-temperature solder, comprising the following components by mass percentage: Bi: 0.5-5%, Ga: 0.1-1.5%, with the balance being Sn25In matrix and unavoidable small amounts of impurities.
[0009] The multi-component lead-free low-temperature solder provided by this invention is mainly composed of a tin-indium alloy. In has a melting point of only 156.61℃, excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, good fluidity, and low expansion / contraction rate. Adding it to the solder alloy lowers the melting point, and it is lead-free, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly. The solder also contains Bi and Ga. Bi lowers the melting point of the solder alloy, and Bi also has solidification expansion properties, which can offset the stress caused by thermal expansion and contraction during soldering, reducing the risk of solder joint cracking. However, if the Bi content exceeds 7.5%, it can cause filler lifting or cracking at the solder joint. Ga has an ultra-low melting point of only 29.76℃, and Ga also has excellent wettability and fluidity, which can increase the solder alloy's soldering spread area by 15-20%, reducing the risk of cold solder joints.
[0010] Furthermore, the multi-component tin-indium-based lead-free low-temperature solder comprises the following components by mass percentage: Bi: 0.99-2%, Ga: 0.1-1%, with the balance being Sn25In matrix and unavoidable small amounts of impurities.
[0011] Furthermore, the multi-component tin-indium-based lead-free low-temperature solder comprises the following raw material components by mass percentage: Bi (bismuth): 2%, Ga (gallium): 1%, with the balance being Sn25In matrix and unavoidable impurities.
[0012] Furthermore, in the Sn25In matrix, the mass ratio of Sn to In is (72.75-74.18):(24.25-24.73).
[0013] The second objective of this invention is to provide a method for preparing a multi-component tin-indium based lead-free low-temperature solder, comprising the following steps:
[0014] Preparation of Sn25In matrix;
[0015] Bi, Ga and Sn25In matrix are weighed in proportion and mixed to obtain a mixture. The mixture is added to a lead-free graphite heating furnace, an antioxidant is added, and a second heating is carried out under a nitrogen atmosphere until the material melts. Then, a second constant temperature stirring is carried out and the mixture is cast into a mold to obtain a multi-component tin-indium lead-free low-temperature solder.
[0016] Furthermore, the preparation method of the Sn25In matrix includes the following steps: Sn raw material is added to a lead-free graphite heating furnace for a first heating until the material melts, then In raw material is added, and heating continues until melting, followed by a first constant temperature stirring to obtain the Sn25In matrix.
[0017] Furthermore, the temperature of the first heating is 300-350°C; and / or,
[0018] The specific operating steps for the first constant temperature stirring are as follows: stir at 300-350℃ for 30 minutes.
[0019] Furthermore, the amount of antioxidant added is sufficient to fully cover the surface; the antioxidant is rosin.
[0020] Furthermore, the temperature of the second heating is 300-350°C; and / or,
[0021] The specific steps for the second constant temperature stirring are as follows: stir at 300-350℃ for 30 minutes and then keep warm for 30 minutes to ensure that the various elements are mixed evenly.
[0022] Furthermore, the mold is made of graphite.
[0023] The third objective of this invention is to provide an application of a multi-component tin-indium-based lead-free low-temperature solder in the field of low-temperature soldering for microelectronic packaging.
[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and technical effects:
[0025] 1. Suppressing low-temperature phase transitions and preventing "tin poisoning": Tin is prone to allotropic transformation (β-tin → α-tin) at low temperatures, known as "tin poisoning," which can lead to material pulverization and failure. Adding bismuth can effectively suppress this phenomenon, improve the low-temperature stability of solder, and allow it to maintain its structural integrity in low-temperature environments. This characteristic is particularly important for electronic devices that need to operate in low-temperature environments for extended periods.
[0026] 2. Enhanced oxidation resistance and soldering quality: The addition of bismuth and gallium can reduce the oxidation tendency of solder and significantly improve the oxidation resistance of solder. If nanoparticles are further added to the solder, the mechanical properties caused by the addition of gallium can be compensated, making the solder a lead-free low-temperature solder with excellent performance in low-temperature characteristics, wetting properties, mechanical properties and other aspects.
[0027] 3. Optimized Mechanical Properties and Reliability: The addition of bismuth improves the alloy's ductility and fatigue resistance, while gallium's liquid wetting properties help form a more uniform weld structure. After adding bismuth, the solder forms a fine-grained structure during solidification, thereby reducing cracking tendency and increasing joint strength. Furthermore, gallium's fluidity enhances the solder's ability to cover complex surfaces, improving welding reliability.
[0028] 4. Expanding application scenarios: Tin-indium solder containing bismuth and gallium is not only suitable for traditional electronic packaging, but also for special welding in low-temperature environments (such as aerospace equipment), high-precision sputtering target bonding, and connection of heat-sensitive components.
[0029] 5. Low cost: Compared with traditional tin-indium solder formulations, the solder formulation of this invention significantly reduces the amount of metallic In, thereby achieving low cost. Attached Figure Description

[0087] The results showed that the melting point was slightly higher than that of Examples 1-4, and the melting performance was average.
[0088] Comparative Example 3
[0089] Same as Example 1, except that the composition is changed to Bi (bismuth): 0.5%, Ga (gallium): 0.05%, Sn (tin): 74.5875%, In (indium): 24.8625%.
[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.
