A flux-free reflow soldering process using hydrogen radicals was investigated for application to flip chip (FC) and chip scale package (CSP). 400µm diameter Sn/37Pb(mass%) eutectic solder and Sn/3.0Ag/0.5Cu(mass%) lead free solder balls were mounted on the pad plated Cu/Ni/Au of FR-4 board, and were irradiated hydrogen radicals under varying conditions, and were reflowed at 230 deg/C. In order to research the best removal condition of oxide film on solder balls, spread tests were conducted on Cu substrate. To confirm the effect of hydrogen radicals, flux-free and flux used substrates were compared. The irradiation conditions were weighed liquid phase of solder against solid phase of solder. In these results, solder joints in both Sn/37Pb and Sn/3.0Ag/0.5Cu have similar shear strength to conventional nitrogen reflow using flux, which shows that hydrogen radicals remove the oxide film on solder and the sound bonds are got. However, in case of hydrogen radicals irradiation at liquid phase, voids are generated in solder even without usage of flux. Hydrogen radicals irradiation at solid phase did not generate any voids, and the best irradiation condition to get good shape solder ball was found. As an application of this work, single and double side reflow process with 80µm diameter plated Sn/3.5Ag (mass%) solder bump were developed. For the irradiation of hydrogen radicals, the oxide film on plated solder bump were removed, and good shape solder bumps were produced. Under the double side reflow, hydrogen radicals can go into the gap about 80µm between package and substrate, and it was reflowed successfully.
