Does by any change ectopic pregnancy happens becoz of some characteristics of sperm?.

No: It's simply the lodging of the fertized egg in the fallopian tube rather than the uterus. This is always regarded as an emergency because of impending damage to the host.

No: It generally happens when there is an issue with fallopian tubes so the embryo gets stuck in the tube rather than traveling into the uterus.
