Abstract
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.
