Solderability Testing Helps Select Surface Finishes

INTRODUCTION
New surface finishes are being sought by both structural and electronics market places to improve the solderability of com-
mon and advanced base materials as well as to address environmental regulations that restrict the use of lead (Pb). Ideally,
any new surface finish would be compatible with either conventional Sn-Pb or Pb-free solder applications. It is necessary
to test the solderability behavior of these alternative finishes prior to their use on materials for assembly operations. One
such surface finish that is currently capturing industry interest is Electroless Nickel (Ni)-Electroless Palladium (Pd)-
Immersion Gold (Au) or ENEPIG. In this layer stack, the Ni layer is the solderable finish to which the solder joint is actu-
ally formed at the completion of the soldering process. The Pd layer is a protective finish to maintain the solderability of
the Ni layer. The thin Au layer is a protective finish, as well, maintaining the solderability of the Pd layer because the lat-
ter forms a very thin oxide layer that slows the wetting and spreading of tin (Sn)-based solders.
The ENEPIG finish improves upon the good solderability of the original electroless nickel-immersion gold (ENIG), but with
two benefits provided by the Pd addition. First, Pd eliminates the black pad solder joint defect [1]. The term ‘‘Black Pad’’
was first used in the late ’90s to describe a specific kind of nickel corrosion on ENIG surface finish. This corroded nickel
compromises the solderability of the part. In cross sections of the failed joint, Ni

(for SAC alloy solder joints) intermetallic (IMC) is found on the solder side, and a phosphorous (P) content higher than that
of the bulk Ni(P) plating is detected on the pad side [1]. Secondly, Pd slows the diffusion of Ni into the Au layer, resulting
in longer shelf life and higher reliability for printed wiring assemblies exposed to harsh operating environments.
Experimental/Discussion In the study reported here, the solderability of the ENEPIG finish was evaluated on oxygen-free-
electronic (OFE) grade copper (Cu) coupons. The coupons were tested in the as-fabricated condition and after exposure to
two accelerated storage environments. The two accelerated storage environments included: (1) exposure to a Battelle Class
2 environment and (2) steam aging per ANSI J-STD-002C ‘‘Solderability Tests for Component Leads, Terminations, Lugs,
Terminals, and Wire’’ (2007) [2]. The Battelle Class 2 test is a mixed flowing gas test containing 10 ppb H

S; 200 ppb NO

;
10 ppb Cl

; 70% relative humidity (RH); at 30 °C. The Battelle Class 2 accelerated environment was selected because it
represents long-term storage under the conditions of a light industrial/manufacturing environment [2]. The length of the
Class 2 accelerated aging test represents the equivalent of 3 months to 10 years for contact materials such as copper and
silver. As such, the test is designed to accentuate plating defects. Steam aged test coupons were exposed for 8 and 24 hours
within an atmosphere of 90% RH and temperature of 85 °C. For brevity, the discussion below will focus only on the sol-
derability behavior after exposure to the Battelle Class 2 environment.
The ENEPIG finish was obtained from two vendors denoted ‘‘1’’ and ‘‘2.’’ Copper coupons plated by Vendor 1 had nominal
layer thicknesses shown below:
Vendor 1:
1. 150-180 µin Ni, 6-7 µin Pd and 2-3 µin Au.
The second supplier, Vendor 2, provided two variants of the ENEPIG finish with the following thicknesses:
Vendor 2:
1. 150-180 µin Ni, 6-7 µin Pd and 2-3 µin Au
2. 150-180 µin Ni, 2-4 µin Pd and 2-3 µin Au.
The difference between the two Vendor 2 variants was the thickness of the Pd layer:6-7µin(‘‘thick’’)and2-4µin
(‘‘thin’’). A thin Pd layer reduces the material cost of the ENEPIG finish; however, the potential tradeoff is a reduced bar-
rier function between the Ni and Au layers. The solderability of the test specimens was evaluated using a rosin-based, mildly
activated (RMA) flux with a eutectic 63Sn-37Pb (wt.%) solder. The solder bath was held at 245 °C.
