  • Publication number: 20240107682
    Abstract: An embodiment composite material for semiconductor package mount applications may include a first component including a tin-silver-copper alloy and a second component including a tin-bismuth alloy or a tin-indium alloy. The composite material may form a reflowed bonding material having a room temperature tensile strength in a range from 80 MPa to 100 MPa when subjected to a reflow process. The reflowed bonding material may include a weight fraction of bismuth that is in a range from approximately 4% to approximately 15%. The reflowed bonding material may an alloy that is solid solution strengthened by a presence of bismuth or indium that is dissolved within the reflowed bonding material or a solid solution phase that includes a minor component of bismuth dissolved within a major component of tin. In some embodiments, the reflowed bonding material may include intermetallic compounds formed as precipitates such as Ag3Sn and/or Cu6Sn5.

  • Patent number: 10436580
    Abstract: A surface measurement system is configured to measure a sample with a low reflectivity surface. The surface measurement system includes a condensation device and a measurement device. The condensation device is configured to form a liquid layer on the surface of the sample. The condensation device includes a chamber, a temperature controlling gas source, and a humidification gas source. The chamber is configured to accommodate the sample. The temperature controlling gas source is connected to the chamber to provide temperature controlling gases to the chamber, so as to control the temperature of the sample. The humidification gas source is connected to the chamber to provide water vapor to the chamber, so as to form the liquid layer on the surface of the sample. The measurement device includes a plate, a light source, and an image capturing device.
