Abstract

Sn-3wt%Ag-0.5wt%Cu (SAC305) solder is most popular solder in electronics industry. However, SAC305 has also drawbacks such as growth of β-Sn phase, intermetallic compounds (IMCs) of Ag3Sn, Cu6Sn5 and Cu3Sn which can result in deterioration of solder joints in terms of metallurgically, mechanically and electrically. Thus, improvement of SAC305 solders have been investigated continuously by addition of alloying elements, nano-particles and etc. In this paper, recent improvements of SAC solders including nano-composite alloys and related solderabilty and metallurgical and mechanical properties are investigated.
