20100243300Soldering Method and Related Device for Improved Resistance to Brittle Fracture - A lead-free solder joint is formed between a tin-silver-copper solder alloy (SAC), SACX, or other commonly used Pb-free solder alloys, and a metallization layer of a substrate.

The IMC region is substantially free of any phosphorous-containing layers or regions.09-30-2010
20100319967INHIBITION OF COPPER DISSOLUTION FOR LEAD-FREE SOLDERING - A device fabrication method, according to which a tin-copper-alloy layer is formed adjacent to a copper-plated pad or pin that is used to electrically connect the device to external wiring. Advantageously, the tin-copper-alloy layer inhibits copper dissolution during a solder reflow process because that layer is substantially insoluble in liquid Sn—Ag—Cu (tin-silver-copper) solder alloys under typical solder reflow conditions and therefore shields the copper plating from direct physical contact with the liquefied solder.12-23-2010
