Abstract
In the present study, Ni-coated carbon nanotubes (Ni-CNTs) were incorporated into the Sn-Ag-Cu matrix, to form a composite solder. The interfacial intermetallic compound layer thickness formed on electroless nickel immersion gold (ENIG) metallized Cu substrate was determined under the as-soldered condition. It was observed that the addition of 0.01 wt.% Ni-CNTs into the Sn-Ag-Cu solder matrix, affected the formation of intermetallic compounds during the soldering reaction. For the reaction between the composite solder and the ENIG/Cu substrate, (Cu1−xNix)6Sn5 and (Cu1−yNiy)3Sn4 were formed. The test results revealed that the thickness of interfacial IMC decreased from 2.30 μm to 1.84 μm with the addition of Ni-CNTs. Shear tests were also conducted on the as-soldered solder joints. The shear test results revealed that the composite solder joint exhibited a ~ 15% increase in yield strength and a ~ 17% increase in ultimate shear strength, as compared to its monolithic counterpart.
