  • Patent number: 10350712
    Abstract: A solder paste whereby metal does not flow out of a joint during a second or subsequent reflow heating stage. The solder paste exhibits high joint strength at room temperature and at high temperatures, excels in terms of temporal stability, exhibits minimal void formation, and can form highly cohesive joints. The solder paste comprises a powdered metal component and a flux component, the powdered metal component comprising: a powdered intermetallic compound that comprises copper and tin and has metal barrier layers covering the surfaces thereof and a solder powder including tin as a main component. Neither the powdered intermetallic compound nor the solder powder contains a copper-only phase, inhibiting the elution of copper ions into the flux.

  • Patent number: 9987710
    Abstract: A solder paste whereby metal does not flow out of a joint during a second or subsequent reflow heating stage. The solder paste excels in terms of temporal stability and exhibits high joint strength at room temperature and at high temperatures. The solder paste comprises a powdered metal component and a flux component, the powdered metal component comprising: 10-70 mass % of a powdered intermetallic compound comprising copper and tin and 30-90 mass % of a solder powder including tin as a main component. Neither the powdered intermetallic compound nor the solder powder contains a copper-only phase, inhibiting the elution of copper ions into the flux.

  • Patent number: 9837757
    Abstract: With the increasing density of in-vehicle electronic circuits, not only conventional cracks at bonding interfaces such as between the substrate and the solder attachment site or a component and the solder attachment site but also novel cracking problems of cracks occurring in the Sn matrix in the interior of the bonded solder have appeared. To solve the above problem, a lead-free solder alloy with 1-4 mass % Ag, 0.6-0.8 mass % Cu, 1-5 mass % Sb, 0.01-0.2 mass % Ni and the remainder being Sn is used. A solder alloy, which not only can withstand harsh temperature cycling characteristics from low temperatures of ?40° C. to high temperatures of 125° C. but can also withstand external forces that occur when riding up on a curb or colliding with a vehicle in front for long periods, and an in-vehicle electronic circuit device using the solder alloy can thereby be obtained.
