  1. Transient Liquid Phase Bonding as a Potential Substitute for Soldering with High-Lead Alloys A.A. Kodentsov Laboratory of Materials and Interface Chemistry, Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands

  2. There is still no obvious (cost-effective) replacement for high-lead, high melting ( 260 - 320 C) solder alloys • It is not possible to adjust (to increase above 260 C) liquidus temperature of any existing Sn-based solder alloys by simple alloying with environmentally friendly and inexpensive elements • Therefore, in the quest for (cost-effective) replacements of the high-lead solders, attention has to be turned towards different base metals as well as the exploration of alternative joining techniques !

  3. Liquidus projection of the Zn-Al-Mg system Ternary eutectic at ~ 343 C

  4. The binary Bi – Ag phase diagram

  5. Transient Liquid Phase (TLP) Bonding solid solid interlayer(s) solid • The interlayers are designed to form a thin or partial layer of a transient liquid phase (TLP) to facilitate bonding via a brazing-like process in which the liquid disappears isothermally • In contrast to conventional brazing, the liquid disappears, and a higher melting point phase is formed at the bonding temperature

  6. Transient Liquid Phase (TLP) Bonding solid solid solid solid product T= const liquid solid solid solid T= const Diffusion, Reaction solid Any system wherein a liquid phase disappears by diffusion, reaction (amalgamation), volatilization, or other processes is a candidate for TLP bonding !

  22. Concluding Remarks • It is not possible to adjust (to increase above 260 C) liquidus temperature of any existing Sn-based solder alloys by simple alloying with environmentally friendly and inexpensive elements • Therefore, in the quest for (cost-effective) substitutes for high-lead solders, attention has to be turned towards different base metals as well as the exploration of alternative joining techniques ! • Through the judicious selection of Sn- or Bi-based interlayer between under bump metallization and substrate pad, (cost-effective) Transient Liquid Phase (TLP) Bonding can be achieved at ~ 250-280 C, and the resulting joints are capable of service at elevated temperatures ! • The TLP Bonding should be taken into further consideration as substitute for the high-lead soldering !
