The effect of electromigration (EM) on the interfacial reaction in a line-type Cu/Sn/Ni-P/Al/Ni-P/Sn/Cu interconnect was investigated at 150°C under 5.0 × 103A/cm2. When Cu atoms were under downwind diffusion, EM enhanced the cross-solder diffusion of Cu atoms to the opposite Ni-P/Sn (anode) interface compared with the aging case, resulting in the transformation of interfacial intermetallic compound (IMC) from Ni3Sn4into (Cu,Ni)6Sn5. However, at the Sn/Cu (cathode) interface, the interfacial IMCs remained as Cu6Sn5(containing less than 0.2 wt.% Ni) and Cu3Sn. When Ni atoms were under downwind diffusion, only a very small quantity of Ni atoms diffused to the opposite Cu/Sn (anode) interface and the interfacial IMCs remained as Cu6Sn5(containing less than 0.6 wt.% Ni) and Cu3Sn. EM significantly accelerated the dissolution of Ni atoms from the Ni-P and the interfacial Ni3Sn4compared with the aging case, resulting in fast growth of Ni3P and Ni2SnP, disappearance of interfacial Ni3Sn4, and congregation of large (Ni,Cu)3Sn4particles in the Sn solder matrix. The growth kinetics of Ni3P and Ni2SnP were significantly accelerated after the interfacial Ni3Sn4IMC completely dissolved into the solder, but still followed thet1/2law.
