The spontaneous growth of low melting point metal whiskers poses a serious reliability problem in the semiconductor industry. With the introduction of lead-free technology, this problem has become more acute and a solution is urgently needed. To date this 50+ year old problem has resisted interpretation and no solution exists. The likely driving force for spontaneous growth of low melting point metal whiskers is the volume expansion associated with the dissolution and / or reaction of oxygen and / or nitrogen in the metal. The volume expansion creates a local compressive stress that pushes the whisker up exposing fresh metal. The repetition of this process—a form of chemical ratcheting—results in the linear growth of the whiskers. The present invention provides compositions and methods for the reduction and / or prevention of diffusion of oxygen and / or nitrogen into the low melting point metal to reduce or prevent metal whisker formation.
