25. SEM/EDS isn’t a good technique to analyze thin discoloration on surfaces but it is the only analytical tool we have. We used a low kV (10kV) to minimize penetration depth The high Au (90.3%) on area ‘C’ indicates ENIG not wet with solder which agrees with optical yellow color. The high Au (11.5%) on area ‘D’ indicates that the leading edge of the solder wave that is flowing out from where the solder paste was deposited dissolves Au from the ENIG as it wets and flows outward making the Au concentration higher at the leading edge. The slightly higher O at the purple colored area ‘B’ (2.0%) and purple colored area ‘D’ (1.7%) may indicate that the purple discoloration may be a very thin oxide. The high Sn at area ‘A’ (79.7%) and area ‘B’ (86.2%) and area ‘D’ (78.3%) as well as Ag at area ‘A’ (3.3%) and area ‘B’ ( 1.7%) and area ‘D’ (1.9%) indicate there is certainly SAC solder on those surfaces. Auger or XPS would be a better surface analysis technique but we don’t have them. SEM/EDS Analysis Comments
