Advanced Solder Flux Paste for Low-Temperature Chip Packaging
Revolutionizing semiconductor assembly with high-activity, low-residue solder flux paste specifically engineered for低温焊接 applications
The Challenges of Low-Temperature Soldering in Chip Packaging
In chip packaging soldering processes, there's a growing trend toward low-temperature焊接, which offers significant environmental benefits and reduces the risk of thermal damage to sensitive components. This low-temperature range is defined as having a reflow peak temperature below 180℃.
However, this approach presents unique challenges for the solder flux paste. At lower temperatures, the activity of conventional solder flux paste tends to be insufficient, making it difficult to effectively remove metal oxides from pad surfaces – a critical step that directly impacts焊接 quality.
Additionally, solder balls with high bismuth content (which is highly susceptible to oxidation) create even greater demands on the solder flux paste's activation properties. Simultaneously, chip packaging requires minimal solder flux paste residue, as excessive residues can compromise packaging integrity and lead to cracks at焊接 interfaces during temperature and humidity cycling tests.
Key Requirements for Chip Packaging Solder Flux Paste
- Exceptional activity to combat oxidation at low temperatures
- Minimal residue after reflow to ensure packaging integrity
- Compatibility with various pad platings
- Non-corrosive properties to protect delicate components
- Reliable performance in temperature and humidity cycling

Thixotropic Agent
Our solder flux paste incorporates a precise 1:1 ratio of hydrogenated castor oil and fatty amide as the thixotropic system. This combination provides excellent viscosity control, ensuring the solder flux paste maintains its shape after application while flowing appropriately during the reflow process.
Organic Acid Activators
The solder flux paste utilizes a blend of high-performance organic acids including docosanedioic acid, malic acid, citric acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, and 4-hydroxyphthalic acid. This multi-component system provides broad-spectrum oxide removal capabilities across different metal surfaces and operating conditions.
Surfactants
Our solder flux paste contains either isooctylamine hydrobromide or dibromoisopropylbenzene as the surfactant component. This carefully selected additive enhances the wetting properties of the solder flux paste, ensuring superior spreading and contact with both the solder ball and pad surfaces.
Organic Amines
The solder flux paste formulation includes a high-performance organic amine such as diethanolamine, triethanolamine, triisopropanolamine, or isooctylamine. This component works synergistically with the organic acids to create a hybrid activation system that delivers exceptional performance at low temperatures, a key advantage of our solder flux paste over conventional products.
Precision Manufacturing Process
Our solder flux paste is produced using a carefully controlled manufacturing process to ensure consistent quality and performance.
Initial Component Mixing
The first step in producing our high-quality solder flux paste involves accurately measuring and combining rosin (8%-15%), organic acids (6%-10%), and solvent (65%-78%) in a specialized mixing vessel. These components form the base of our solder flux paste and are mixed at a precisely controlled temperature between 150-220℃ until the rosin and organic acids are completely dissolved.
Thixotropic Agent Addition
Once the initial mixture is homogeneous, the temperature is reduced to 80-100℃, and the thixotropic agent (5% by weight) is carefully added to the solder flux paste. This step is critical for developing the proper viscosity and flow characteristics of the final solder flux paste. The mixture is continuously stirred until the thixotropic agent is fully incorporated and the solution becomes clear.
Surfactant Incorporation
The temperature of the solder flux paste mixture is further reduced to 50-60℃ before adding the surfactant (1%-3% by weight). This temperature range ensures optimal dispersion of the surfactant throughout the solder flux paste without compromising its chemical integrity. The mixture is stirred for 3-5 minutes to ensure uniform distribution of the surfactant, resulting in a viscous paste consistency.
Final Amination and Quality Control
In the final production step, the solder flux paste is cooled to 25-30℃, and organic amine (2%-4% by weight) is added. This final component completes the activation system of our solder flux paste. The mixture is stirred for an additional 3-5 minutes to ensure complete homogenization. The finished solder flux paste then undergoes rigorous quality control testing to verify its performance characteristics before being packaged for distribution.
