Phase equilibria in the Mg-rich region of the Mg-Sn-Ag ternary system were determined by quenching experiments, differential scanning calorimetry, electron probe micro-analysis, and Xray diffraction techniques. No ternary compounds were found in the studied isothermal sections. A critical evaluation of the available experimental data and a thermodynamic optimization of the Mg-Sn-Ag-In quaternary system were carried out using the calculation of phase diagrams method. The modified quasichemical model in the pair approximation was used for the liquid solution, which exhibits a high degree of short-range order. The solid phases were modeled with the compound energy formalism. All available and reliable experimental data were reproduced within experimental error limits. A self-consistent thermodynamic database was constructed for the Mg-Sn-Ag-In quaternary system, which can be used as a guide for Mg-based alloys development.

“…The first minor exothermic peak formed at 98°C is thought to arise due to the reaction between the Sn coating and the Cu core. The reaction between Sn and Cu preferentially forms the intermetallic Cu 6 Sn 5 and releases the exothermic enthalpy of formation [7,8]. These peaks were observed at 98°C irrespective of the thickness of Sn coating.…”

“…The second major exothermic peak is thought to arise due to continuing Cu 6 Sn 5 formation and Cu 3 Sn formation via the reaction of the formed Cu 6 Sn 5 with the Cu core. The formation of the Cu 3 Sn phase generates more heat than that of Cu 6 Sn 5 [8]. The temperature at which this second peak was observed decreased from 162°C to 149°C with an increase in Sn thickness.…”

Sn-coated Cu particles were prepared as a filler material for transient liquid phase (TLP) bonding. The thickness of Sn coating was controlled by controlling the number of plating cycles. The Sn-coated Cu particles best suited for TLP bonding were fabricated by Sn plating thrice, and the particles showed a pronounced endothermic peak at 232°C. The heating of the particles for just 10 s at 250°C destroyed the initial core-shell structure and encouraged the formation of Cu-Sn intermetallic compounds. Further, die bonding was also successfully performed at 250°C under a slight bonding pressure of around 0.1 MPa using a paste containing the particles. The bonding time of 30 s facilitated the bonding of Sn-coated Cu particles to the Au surface and also increased the probability of network formation between particles.

Intermetallic Layer Growth Kinetics in Sn‐Ag‐Cu System using Diffusion Multiple and Reflow Techniques

2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A diffusion multiple (DM) technique was applied to the Sn-Ag-Cu ternary system with the aim to determine the kinetics of formation of Cu-Sn intermetallic compounds (IMCs) and to predict properties of the interface in the solder joints. The formation and growth of the Cu-Sn intermetallics at the interface between the Cu as a base material and Sn-Ag-(Cu) solder was additionally studied during a standard reflow soldering process. Based on the experimental data, the kinetic rate constants and the respective activation energies of the Cu-Sn IMCs in the temperature range between 150 and 200°C were calculated and compared with experimental data from the literature. In this way, the mechanism of the pure solid-state reaction (DM technique) and liquid phase reaction (reflow soldering) were studied. The limitations of DM techniques for the prediction of the IMCs growth during reflow soldering process are discussed as well.
