Evaluation of Lead Finishes for Microcircuit Packages
Abstract
Oxidation studies made on several vendor Fe-Ni-Co (ASTM-F15) glass sealing alloys show these alloys to differ in both rate of oxidation and adherence of the oxide to the metal. Differences in surface preparation, surface roughness, and atmosphere control on rate and adherence were shown to affect both rate of oxidation and adherence. Using the curves established in these rate studies, samples were oxidized to predetermined thickness. Those selectively oxidized samples were 'sealed' with commercial glasses. Adherence of the glass to metal is shown to be related to oxide thickness and the energy input used in sealing.
