| Abstract | Integrity of solder joints of components in an electronic device is critical to the device reliability. Miniaturisation manufacturing trend in electronic products development has continued to challenge the shear strength of the solder joints in these devices and necessitates implementation of optimal reflow profile to achieve maximum strength of the joints. This research proposes optimal parameter combination of reflow profile factors which demonstrate potential of delivering maximum shear strength of solder joint. The Taguchi design of experiment (DoE) is employed to generate eight orthogonal array designs of L24 of reflow profiles. The factors/parameters investigated are preheat gradient, time above liquidus (TAL), peak temperature and cooling rate. Three test vehicles of varying solder joint sizes are made from R1206, R0805 and R0603 resistors. Reflow profile number 3 constituting 1.2 °C/s preheat, 45 s TAL, 245 °C peak temperature and 60% cooling rate is optimal because it yielded joints with highest strength and circa 4 µm thickness of intermetallic compound (IMC). Solder joint shear strength decreases with decrease in size of lead-free joint irrespective of reflow profile implemented. These results will be useful to electronic packaging and reliability engineers faced with challenges of improving device operational mechanical performance in the continuing product miniaturisation trend. |
