Abstract

A pyrophosphate and iodide based bath was investigated for the electrodeposition of near-eutectic Sn-Ag-Cu alloy, which is one of the promising lead-free solder candidates for electronics interconnection. The bath contained pyrophosphate and iodide as chelating agents. The composition of electrodeposits were measured by wavelength dispersive Xray Spectroscopy (WDS). Different morphologies of deposited films were analysed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). X-ray diffraction (XRD) data indicated that Sn, Ag 3Sn and Cu6Sn5 were present in the "as-electroplated" film. The proposed bath was capable of fine pitch near-eutectic Sn-Ag-Cu solder bumps as demonstrated on a glass test wafer. ©2009 IEEE.
