In this study, we report the microstructural evolution and shear strength of an Sn-Sb alloy, used for die attach process as a solder layer of backside metal (BSM). The Sb content in the binary system was less than 1 at%. A chip with the Sn-Sb BSM was attached to a Ag plated Cu lead frame. The microstructure evolution was investigated after die bonding at 330 °C, die bonding and isothermal heat treatment at 330 °C for 5 min and wire bonding at 260 °C, respectively. At the interface between the chip and lead frame, Ni3Sn4 and Ag3Sn intermetallic compounds (IMCs) layers and pure Sn regions were confirmed after die bonding. When the isothermal heat treatment is conducted, pure Sn regions disappear at the interface because the Sn is consumed to form Ni3Sn4 and Ag3Sn IMCs. After the wire bonding process, the interface is composed of Ni3Sn4, Ag3Sn and (Ag,Cu)3Sn IMCs. The Sn-Sb BSM had a high maximum shear strength of 78.2 MPa, which is higher than the required specification of 6.2 MPa. In addition, it showed good wetting flow.

GFRP 보강근의 역학적 성능은 고온과 콘크리트의 알칼리 환경에서 크게 감소된다. 본 연구에서는 GFRP 보강근이 열손상 뒤, 알칼리 환경에 추가로 노출되었을 때의 계면전단강도변화를 고찰하는데 집중하였다. 이를 위하여 GFRP 보강근 시편은 270도의 열에 1시간동안 노출된 후 알칼리 용액에 장기간 노출되었으며, 전단시험에 의하여 파괴되었다. 비교를 위하여 열손상이 없는 시편도 같은 기간 동안 알칼리 용액에 노출된 후 전단에 의하여 파괴되었다. 결과에서, 열손상을 받은 GFRP보강근의 계면전단강도의 감소가 열손상이 없는 보강근 보다 훨씬 큰 것으로 나타났다. 본 실험을 근거로 하여, 열손상을 미리 받은 GFRP 보강근이 알칼리에 노출되었을 때, 장기 잔존계면전단강도의 예측을 위한 2차식을 제시하였다.

It is reported that alkalinity of concrete decreases inter-laminar shear strength of FRP rebar. This could be more significant on thermally damaged FRP rebar. In this study, accelerated ISS test was conducted on FRP specimens previously exposed to temperature of 270℃ for 60 days. For 60 days, the ISS of thermally damaged FRP rebar was not significant

In this study, a reduction in inter-laminar shear strength of FRP reinforcing bars, which is domestically produced, subjected to high temperatures was investigated. The inter-laminar shear tests were conducted on the rebar specimens conditioned in a chamber for specified times at high temperatures. The exposure temperatures were 100℃∼300℃, The exposure time were 0.5 hours to 4 hours. It was found that the critical temperature was for both GFRP and CFRP reinforcing bars, 270℃. Based on the results, a linear equation for evaluation of the effect of exposure time is proposed.
