Abstract

The solidification of Sn-3Ag-0.5Cu and Sn-0.7Cu-0.05Ni are overviewed and compared. In joints on Cu substrates, both solders begin solidification with primary Cu6Sn5 growing in the bulk liquid prior to tin nucleation. In freestanding balls and joints, SAC305 generally solidifies with a single tin nucleation event and exhibits a mutually-twinned tin grain structure. In contrast, SN100C BGA balls and joints exhibit multiple independent tin grains that grow as a columnar array in joints.
