Evaluating the growth kinetics is one of the most important characteristic in assessing the quality and reliability of metallurgical joining, especially in electronics packaging such as soldering and wire bonding technology. The growth kinetics is normally assessed using Arrhenius equation that involves diffusion activities due to thermally activated process. The well-known factors of thermal and time together with generally accepted growth exponent have been widely used for this assessment. The intermetallic compound layer which is the by-product of metallurgical reaction during soldering process has been exposed to high temperature to accelerate its growth. The cross-section of the joining was observed using optical microscope to quantify the layer of intermetallic compound. Morphological effect and shape factor of the layer have been analysed in complement with the effect of temperature and time on the growth behaviour. Directional growth and irregularities shape of the intermetallic layer show some inconsistency on the selection of growth exponent. The effect of initial size of intermetallic layer must also be considered in this assessment. This study suggests that the morphological effect must be analysed prior to the selection the growth exponent in assessing growth behaviour and kinetics of intermetallic layer in metallurgical joining.
