Growth behavior of tin whisker and hillock on Cu/Ni/SnAg micro-bumps under high temperature and humidity storage

It is the first time that tin whisker was observed to grow from shallow surface grains on Cu/Ni/SnAg micro-bumps under high temperature and humidity storage. Stress difference formed by oxidation and intermetallic compound (IMC) reaction was the driving force for whisker formation. Interrelated twin...
