Effect of SiO2 nanoparticle addition on growth of interfacial Ag3Sn intermetallic compound layers between lead-free solder and silver conductor

Abstract This study investigated the effects of silver powder modification on intermetallic compound (IMC) formation and silver leaching during soldering at high temperatures. Silica nanoparticles (NPs) were deposited onto a silver powder surface to inhibit silver leaching, which can lead to solderi...
