Abstract

This study explored the effect of Ag as the substrate or alloying element of solders on the interfacial reaction in Sn-Zn soldering. Results show that instead of Ag-Sn compounds, ζ-AgZn and γ-Ag₅Zn₈ form at the Sn-Zn/Ag interface. The addition of Ag in Sn-Zn solders leads to the precipitation of ε-AgZn₃ from the liquid solder on preformed interfacial intermetallics. The morphology of this additional AgZn₃ is closely related to the solidification process of Ag-Zn intermetallics and the under intermetallic layer.
