Intermetallic Compound Formation

This paper reports on the effect of activated carbon (AC) addition on the properties of Sn-Cu-Ni (SN100C) solder paste. The composite solder was prepared by mixing reinforcement particles (0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0 wt. %) into SN100C solder paste. The melting temperature of composite solder was determined by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Wettability of fabricated solder was studied through contact angles between solder and copper substrate interface. The intermetallic compound formation was studied after reflow soldering process.With increased carbon particles addition, the composite solder was found to have a slightly lower melting temperature compared to monolithic solder while the wettability of composite solder effectively had improved. The activated carbon particles in solder paste composite have significant effects on the formation of intermetallic compounds (IMCs) at the solder/Cu substrate interfaces by suppressing the IMCs thickness.

The effects of SiC on wettability and intermetallic compound (IMC) formation of Sn-Cu-Ni solder paste composite were systematically investigated. Lead-free solder paste composite was produced by mixing silicon carbide (SiC) particle with Sn-Cu-Ni (SN100C) solder paste. The wettability of composite solder was studied by observing the contact angle between solder and copper substrate. The IMC phase formation on copper substrate interface was identified using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The phase as detected in the composite solder is Cu6Sn5.The wettability of composite solder was observed through contact angle between solder and copper substrate and Sn-Cu-Ni + 1.0 wt.% SiC shows improvements in wetting angle and suppresses the IMCs formation.

Feasibility of using recycled-Aluminum (re-Al) as reinforcement particulates in Sn-0.7Cu is assessed by powder technology method, whereby re-Al particulates are produced from discarded aluminum beverage cans. This paper focuses on the intermetallic compound (IMC) formation study between the fabricated solder composite on Cu-substrate. Throughout this study, four different composition of Sn-0.7Cu/re-Al (0.0, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0 wt.%) were studied. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to analyze the IMCs phase formation between the interfaces. New IMC phase of Cu9Al4was detected beside Cu6Sn5and Cu3Sn in the composite solder samples. However, Sn-0.7Cu/3.0re-Al showed least formation of brittle IMCs compared to the monolithic solder.

We have investigated the wetting angle, side band growth, and intermetallic compound formation of seven SnPb alloys on Cu ranging from pure Sn to pure Pb. The wetting angle has a minimum near the middle composition and increases toward pure Sn and pure Pb, but the side band growth has a maximum near the middle composition. The intermetallic compounds formed are Cu6Sn5 and Cu3Sn for the eutectic and high-Sn alloys, yet for the high-Pb alloys, only Cu3Sn can be detected. While no intermetallic compound forms between Cu and pure Pb, the latter nevertheless wets the former with an angle of 115°. The driving force of a wetting reaction, which may be affected by the free energy gain in compound formation, is discussed by assuming that rate of compound formation is fast.

The effect of excessive intermetallic growth to the reliability of solder joints become major problem in electronic assemblies industry. In this investigation, we used Sn-0.7Cu/1.0-Si3N4 composite solder to analyze its interfacial joint on Cu substrate. Various isothermal of aging times were carried in this study by using 24hrs, 240hrs, 480hrs, 600hrs and 720hrs at 150°C of aging temperature. The Cu-Sn IMC thickness was increase with increasing aging time and the diffusion coefficient of this composite solder is 1.16x10-16m2/s.
