In this study, we have investigated the reliability of IGBT chip surface interconnection with the lead-frame structure. The heat dissipation characteristic is improved with lead-frame interconnection compared with the conventional wire interconnection. And the lead-frame interconnection with the Sn-Sb system solder has higher reliability than the Sn-Ag system.
Effect of halogenation treatment that weakens the surface oxide of solder was examined in anodic soldering, in which glass and solder receive a voltage to improve contact between them. Exposure of the solder to HCl vapor improved extension of solder at the joint interface.
