Lead-free packaging
Making package terminals lead-free
Background to the Trend toward
Lead-Free Products
It is widely recognized that the absorption of lead into the human
body can lead to a variety of health problems.
To protect the environment against contamination by lead from
waste electronic equipment and components, there is a growing
worldwide movement to restrict the use of lead.
Semiconductor products are no exception, and moves are also
underway toward making Renesas semiconductor packages
lead-free.
The European Union has agreed to implement the RoHS directive
(the restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances in
electrical and elecironic equipment), starting in July 2006,
prohibiting the use of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent
chromium, PBB (polybrominated biphenyls), and PBDE
(polybrominated diphenyl ethers).
This directive was published in the official journal of the
European Union in February 2003.

Improving heat resistance
Lead-free soldering generally requires higher reflow temperature. Renesas has set the heat-resisting temperature of a surfacemount type package at 260°C or 245°C to withstand mounting with an Sn-Ag-Cu or similar high-melting-point lead-free solder.
Solder heat-resistance is defined by the package surface temperature, and an appropriate temperature profile is offered according
to the heat capacity of the package. Heat-resistance reflow profiles of small, thin packages and large, thick packages are shown
below.
IR/air reflow profiles of small, thin packages and large, thick packages
Information is available on an individual basis for devices that do not conform to the profiles shown below.
Lead-free packaging
Using lead free materials for semiconductors. Initially,
priority will be given to making terminals lead-free.*
The higher melting points of lead-free solders and the
resulting higher mounting temperatures require
enhanced heat resistance in components.
* Technologies are under development for eliminating lead inside
packages, including sealing glass, and also die-bonding materials in
some products.
The Renesas approach
Heat-resistance improvement and provisions for mass
production of lead-free terminals have been completed
for all product families, and some products are already
in mass production. consult a Renesas sales
representative for the mass production details
concerning particular products.
The target date for the total abolition of lead from
terminals is end of 2005.
Lead-free products are differentiated from conventional
products by a "Pb-Free T." marking on the label of the
inner bag, box.
