AgIn2 thickness on void rate, microstructure, IMC growth, thermal and mechanical properties of fluxless In@AgIn2 joint by Jing Wen, Guoliao Sun, Jinyang Su, Yi Fan, Linzheng Fu, Zhuo Chen, Wenhui Zhu

“…Indium (In) has been extensively used as a thermal interface material (TIM1) between the die and lid in high-power central processing units (CPUs) to enhance heat dissipation. However, organic flux residues trapped within the In solder during indium reflow process can outgas during subsequent solder ball reflow cycles, leading to the formation of significant voids (up to 35% void fraction) in the In TIM1. …”
