摘要: The growth of intermetallic compounds (IMCs) on the free surface 99Sn-1Cu solder joints perpendicular to interdiffusion direction has been investigated in this work. specimens were specifically designed and polished reveal a flat at solder/Cu interface for investigation. After aging 175°C progressively increased durations, height IMCs was examined found follow parabolic law with duration that could be expressed as \(y = 0.11\sqrt t\), where t is hours y μm. For comparison, planar along also 99Sn-1Cu/Cu joints. prolonged 175°C, thickness interfacial IMC layers parabolically \(h_{\rm{IMC}} 0.27\sqrt + 4.6\), h μm time hours. It both diffusion-controlled processes, but much slower than their due longer diffusion distance. proposed Cu3Sn forms prior formation Cu6Sn5 IMCs, being reverse order compared growth.
