ABSTRACTRecently, it was reported that adding Zn to solder was an effective way for reducing the formation of both Cu3Sn and Cu6Sn5 and inhibiting Kirkendall voids formation. The objective of this study is to investigate this Zn effect in detail. Three Sn-xZn solders (x = 0.5, 0.7, and 2 wt. %) were reacted with Cu substrates at 250°J for 2-10 mins. A slight variation in the Zn concentration changed the reaction product formed at the interface. When the Zn concentration was low (x = 0.5 wt. %), the reaction product was Cu6Sn5. At high Zn concentration (x = 2 wt. %), the reaction product became Cu5Zn8. When Zn concentration was in-between (x = 0.7 wt. %), Cu6Sn5 and CuZn co-existed. The above findings are explained using the Cu–Sn–Zn phase diagram. The implication is that the type of compound forms at the interface can be controlled by adjusting the Zn concentration of the Sn-based solders.

Electroless nickel (Ni–P) is a common surface finish used in the ball grid array (BGA) package and interfacial reactions between its surface finish and lead-free solders can form complex intermetallic compound (IMC) layers. The presence of minor elements in lead-free solders either intentionally added or due to impurity contamination during solder manufacturing, can affect the solder-joint performance. In this work, interfacial reactions between Ni–P surface finish and the Sn–Ag–Cu solders were modified by varying Ag and Cu contents and also by adding a small amount of minor elements such as phosphorus (P), indium (In), and germanium (Ge). A transmission electron microscope was used to determine the intermetallic layer phases, compositions, crystal structures, and void defects. Varying the solder alloy elements led to the modulation of voids formation.
