Abstract
Ag nano-particle reinforced Sn30Bi0.5Cu-xAg (x = 1 wt%, 2 wt% and 5 wt%) solder pastes were prepared and reflowed on Cu substrates at 523 K. Then, the solder joints were liquid aged at 473 K for 6 and 12 h. Microstructural evolutions of these solder joints were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that Bi-rich phase was refined in the as-reflowed Sn30Bi0.5Cu-xAg composite solder matrices. With the increase of the liquid aging time, Bi-rich phase was refined both in the Sn30Bi0.5Cu solder and in the Sn30Bi0.5Cu-xAg composite solders. The addition of Ag nano-particles changed the growth rate of the IMC layers during liquid aging due to the absorption effect of the Ag3Sn micro-particles.
