Interfacial Reactions Between Sn-3.5 Ag Solder And Ni-W Alloy Films
Interfacial Reactions Between Sn-3.5 Ag Solder And Ni-W Alloy Films
A.S. Md Abdul Haseeb
Nickel based alloys are currently being investigated in an effort to develop stable barrier films between lead free solder and copper substrate. In this study, interfacial reactions between Ni-W alloy films and Sn-3.5 Ag solder have been investigated. Ni-W alloys films with tungsten content in the range of 5.0-18.0 at.% were prepared on copper substrate by electrodeposition in ammonia citrate bath. Solder joints were prepared on the Ni-W coated substrate at a reflow temperature of 250 °C. The solder joint interface was investigated by Cross-sectional scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and electron back scatter diffraction. It has been …
Interfacial Reaction And Dissolution Behavior Of Cu Substrate In Molten Sn-3.8ag-0.7cu In The Presence Of Mo Nanoparticles
A.S. Md Abdul Haseeb
Purpose - In electronic packaging, when solid copper comes in contact with liquid solder alloy, the former dissolves and intermetallic compounds (IMCs) form at the solid-liquid interface. The purpose of this paper is to study the effect of the presence of molybdenum nanoparticles on the dissolution of copper and the formation of interfacial IMC. Design/methodology/approach - Cu wire having a diameter of 250 μm is immersed in liquid composite solders at 250° up to 15 min. Composite solder was prepared by adding various amount of Mo nanoparticles into the Sn-3.8Ag-0.7Cu (SAC) solder paste. The dissolution behavior of Cu substrate is …
