摘要
There are numerous intermetallic compounds (IMCs) with various shapes in a tin-silver-bismuth solder alloy. These IMCs can affect the mechanical properties of the solder and, therefore, the reliability of the joints. In this study, minimal rare earth elements added into the solder were adsorbed at the grain boundary of IMCs. This adsorption behavior changed the relationship between growth velocities of the various crystalline directions of the IMC polycrystalline, which resulted in finer particles and more uniform distribution of the IMC phase. The average size of IMC particles decreased from 0.20 mum to 0.12 mum, while their average distance decreased from 1.25 mum to 0.65 mum. These fine IMC particles made the alloy stronger and more ductile through dispersion strengthening.
