1. Technical Principle
Laser soldering with eutectic preform is a precision joining technology based on the properties of eutectic alloys, and its core mechanisms include:
- Eutectic reaction: Utilizes the characteristic of eutectic alloys (e.g., AuSn, CuSn) to melt and rapidly solidify at a specific temperature, achieving welding with low heat input and high bonding strength;
- Precise laser energy control: Locally heats the preformed solder sheet through high-energy-density laser pulses (with typical values of 10⁶–10¹² W/cm²), avoiding thermal damage to sensitive components (e.g., chips, MEMS devices) caused by overall temperature rise;
- Vacuum/controlled atmosphere protection: Suppresses oxidation in a vacuum or inert gas environment, reducing the weld porosity rate (<5%).
