研究目的
Investigating the application of UV fs Laser Ablation Ionization Mass Spectrometry for chemical depth profiling of SnAg solder bumps to understand their three-dimensional compositional distribution and the SnAg plating process.
研究成果
The study successfully applied a UV fs LIMS approach for three-dimensional chemical composition analysis of SnAg solder bumps, providing unprecedented detail on element distributions. The methodology offers significant advantages over traditional techniques, particularly in detecting organic contaminants and assessing alloy homogeneity, contributing to a deeper understanding of the SnAg plating process.
研究不足
The study focuses on the surface and near-surface bulk regions of SnAg solder bumps, which are most prone to contamination. The spatial resolution and detection sensitivity, while superior to some techniques, may still have limitations for certain applications.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection
A UV fs Laser Ablation Ionization Mass Spectrometry (LIMS) approach was used for chemical depth profiling of SnAg solder bumps. The methodology included the use of a fs-laser beam at 258 nm for ablation and ionization, with an optical microscope system for precise sample positioning.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources
SnAg films and bumps were prepared galvanostatically on blanket and patterned Cu-seeded Si wafer coupons. The plating bath composition and parameters were carefully controlled to achieve the desired alloy composition.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials
Potentiostat/galvanostat PGSTAT128N (Metrohm Autolab, Switzerland), rotating disk electrode (RDE), Pt wire anode, Ag/AgCl (3 M KCl) double junction electrode (Metrohm, Switzerland), UV fs laser system (Clark-MXR Inc., U.S.A.), SEM (Zeiss Gemini SEM, Hitachi S-3000N SEM), AFM (FlexAFM V5+, Nanosurf AG, Switzerland).
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow
The experiment involved the electrochemical deposition of SnAg films and bumps, followed by LIMS measurements for depth profiling. A 2D raster approach was used for layer-by-layer ablation and analysis, with data acquisition for each laser shot.
5:Data Analysis Methods
Data analysis included the determination of relative sensitivity coefficients (RSCs) for Sn and Ag from a certified reference material, and the conversion of 2D-binned data into three-dimensional representations to trace element distributions.
