Abstract

An EDX-based oxidation test associated with a simple theoretical model is developed to study Cu out-diffusion in pre-plated Cu-alloy leadframes with and without a nanometer-thick Cu-Ni-Sn IMC layer and oxidation at the PPF surfaces. The experimental results show that the Cu diffusion coefficients are (1.23×10-10cm2/s)exp(-0.723eV/kT) in the IMC nano-layer during a temperature range 150°C-400°C and (1.59×10-9cm2/s)exp(-0.602eV/kT) in the nickel layer during a temperature range 260°C-300°C, respectively. The in-situ formed IMC nanolayer is a more effective diffusion barrier than the Ni layer.
