Abstract

The continuing shrinkage of feature size and environmental concerns regarding the use of lead containing solder are major driving forces in the search for alternative technologies for metal interconnects in electronic packaging. Electrically conductive adhesives are considered a potential substitute for the lead-tin solder. This study concentrated on interfacial properties of eutectic solder and silver-filled epoxy adhesives. A freeze fracture technique was employed in order to preserve interfacial information. The chemical composition of the fractured faces varied; the adhesive side was rich in tin, whereas the eutectic solder side showed lead-rich characteristics.
