In the present work, the effect of surface texture on wetting characteristics of lead-free solder Sn-0.7Cu on copper substrates have been investigated at 298°C. The wetting tests were carried out using FTA 200 (First Ten Angstrom) dynamic contact angle analyzer. The surface texture of copper substrate significantly affected the wetting properties of Sn-0.7Cu solder alloy. Contact angles of about 30° were obtained on Cu substrate having smooth surface texture (Ra = 0.0155µm). On other hand contact angles on rough copper surface texture (Ra = 1.1194µm) were reduced to 20°. The contact angles decreased with increasing surface texture of Cu substrate. For rough Cu substrate, it seems that the solder atoms dissolve into the substrate in the time period of 200-600s.

Abstract The Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder alloy is a prominent candidate for the Pb-free solder, and SAC305 solder is generally employed in today’s electronic enterprise. In this study, the formation of intermetallic compounds (Cu6Sn5 and Ag3Sn) at the interface, average neighbour’s particle distance, and the morphological mosaic are examined by the addition of SiC and nickel-coated silicon carbide reinforcements within Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder. Results revealed that the addition of SiC and SiC(Ni) particles are associated with a small change to the average neighbor’s particle distance and a decrease of clustering rate to a certain limit of the Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder composites. Moreover, the development of the Cu6Sn5 and the structure of the Ag3Sn are improved with the addition of SiC and Ni coated SiC.
