Indium Alloy Wetting For Flip Chip Applications

Here is some data to compare the relative spread of indium based alloys on copper. Notice the difference between the old and new lots of 90In/10Ag. One lot was quite old and agitated – although the wetting was still very good compared to fresh 99.999% indium.

Pure indium is used quite often for specialty flip-chip bumping, although you may want to consider an In/Ag alloy. In addition to increased wetting, 3-10% Ag strengthens the indium alloy to resist creep.
