Abstract

Under room temperature electromigration, hillock and void formations were observed in a eutectic SnPb solder stripe. At the anode, hillocks originated from the Pb grains and were extruded under a compressive stress due to the incoming flux of Sn atoms. The morphology of the voids at the cathode also indicates that the Sn grains were depleted during the process.
