    Introduction

    the public a2areness o

    en$ironmental issues and increasin* ?no2led*e o hazards to:ic materials has been

    2ea?enin* up lately. /ecently, the strict le*islations put to eliminate the use o lead!basedsolders because o the healthy concerns o$er the to:icity o lead (Pb). n last decade *reat

    e orts are pro$ided an ine$itable moti$ation orce or de$elopment o lead! ree solder

    alloys. Further, the modern technolo*ical de$elopment in the electronic pac?a*in*

    industry met challen*es to2ards miniaturization and unctional density enhancement.

    -hese re@uire much smaller solder oints and Bne pitch interconnections or

    microelectronic pac?a*in* in electronic de$ices. For e:ample, portable electronic

    de$ices, such as portable computers and mobile phones, ha$e become thinner and smaller

    2ith more complicated unctions. Mechanical beha$iors o solder alloys are acti$e and

    play an important role because o their hi*h homolo*ous temperatures (-C- m .').

    Moreo$er, the electronic assemblies are made up rom materials 2ith a 2ide ran*e o

    thermal e:pansion coe icients ("-E). Durin* the s2itchin* on and o electronic

    de$ices, the chips in electronic de$ices heat up and cool do2n, thus su erin* rom lo2

    cycle thermo!mechanical ati*ue (-MF) due to stresses that de$elop as a result o

    mismatch bet2een the solder, the substrate and the components 48. -hese -MF cycles

    cause plastic strainin* o solder. ence, the de ormation imposed on the solder oints

    durin* their operation is time dependent in the metallur*ical sense.

    For instance, because o the creep o solder, time!dependent and *radual

    misali*nment bet2een a solid state laser chip and a spherical lens on a Bbre in li*ht *uide

    ocean cables 2ill reduce the transmission intensity or e$en cause complete loss o the

    li*ht 2a$e communication si*nals in the cables 468. n de ense applications, the

    mechanical $ibration o tan?s, airoplanes or missiles 2ill create hi*h re@uency

    $ibrational ati*ue conditions or solder oints in the attached electronic components andlead these 2eapons to ail. ence, hi*hly creep and ati*ue resistant lead! ree solders

    must be de$eloped to sol$e these problems.

    -he solders containin* ' percent antimony or sil$er are pre erred or electrical

    e@uipment because o their *ood electrical conducti$ity. -he tin! and lead!based babbitts

    (2hite metals) ha$e the lon*est history 4 8 but they are not ade@uate or most applications

    in automoti$e en*ines. -he correlation o the alloys= structure 2ith mechanical and

    electrical properties o metallic bearin* materials has been a topic o interest or se$eral

    years attractin* the attention o many in$esti*ators 4 78. Most o the studies ha$e been

    ocused either on mechanical or electrical properties or on microstructure eatures.

    Since many Sn!rich solder alloys, includin* Sn!'3Sb and Sn! .'3A*,

    *enerally ha$e a hi*her meltin* point than that o Pb!Sn eutectic, they may not be

    suitable as replacement or Pb!Sn eutectic. o2e$er, they can be candidates or thereplacement o the Pb!rich solder alloys, such as Pb! 3Sn, Pb!& 3Sn, and Pb!'3Sn,

    2hich ha$e a li@uidus temperature hi*her than 6 o" -he Pb!rich solders ha$e been

    e:tensi$ely used or lip chip connection, and solder ball connection, 2here either Si

    chips or modules are mounted onto a ceramic substrate.

    Se$eral electronic applications o Sn!'3 Sb solder ha$e been reported,

    includin* hermetic sealband o multichip modules, bondin* a semiconductor de$ice

    onto a substrate, G and oinin* o C1 pins to multilayer ceramic substrates. s n the

    oinin* C1 pins, Au! 3Sn braze alloy 2as replaced by Sn!'3Sb solder, thus

    realizin* se$eral ad$anta*es, such as lo2erin* the oinin* temperature by about ' H

    and reducin* the stress induced due to the oinin* process. n addition, Sn!'3Sb

    application, Sn!'3Sb solder 2as used as corrosion protection coatin* to a steel

    plate, as 2ell as an electrically conducti$e area 2hich could be used or subse@uent

    *roundin*. A small addition o Sb to the Pb!Sn eutectic solder has been reco*nized or a

    lon* time to impart se$eral bene icial e ects, such as pre$ention o tin pest, H

    stren*th impro$ements, and creep resistance. Antimony addition to the pure Sn

    metal *enerally con irms the same bene icial e ects obser$ed 2ith the Pb!Sn eutectic

    -able I also sho2s a better thermal ati*ue li e o P- oints made 2ith Sn!'3Sb

    than those o pure Sn. o2e$er, one dra2bac? is reco*nized 2ith Sn!'3Sb solder

    in terms o solderability as sho2n in -able I. -he solderability o Sn!'3Sb, as

    measured by the percent spread o a 2ettin* area, is lo2er than that o the Pb!Sn

    eutectic, and it is also reduced by addin* Sb to pure Sn. -he addition o Sb into pure Sn

    can be harm ul to the mechanical properties 2hen the Sb le$el approaches the

    solubility limit in Sn, 2hich is about & 3 by 2ei*ht at ' H ' -his is attributed to an

    e:cessi$e ormation o the cubic intermetallic phase, SnSb 9 #nli?e the Pb!Sn system,

    the Sn!Sb system e:hibits a peritectic reaction 2hereby the Sn!rich primary solid

    solution is ormed at ' H -he microstructure o the Sn! '3Sb solder oints is,

    there ore, e:pected to be hi*hly dependent upon the solderin* process and the thermal

    e:posure a ter2ard.

    1 the lead! ree solders de$eloped, only the hi*h meltin* point Sn 6 Au alloy

    can 2ithstand hi*h temperature ser$ice conditions. o2e$er, this alloy cannot be utilized

    in a 2ide ran*e o manu acturin* situations due to its cost and the de*radation o the

    properties o electronic components by hi*h temperature solderin*.

    -o sol$e this problem, e orts ha$e been made to de$elop solders 2ith a lo2

    meltin* point and hi*h creep resistance. ence, much research has been carried out on

    the addition o a third element (+i, Al, "u or A*) into the Sn Sb peritectic solder alloys

    to impro$e the 2ettin* characteristics and creep resistance4:8. Moreo$er, another

    potentially $iable and economically a ordable approach is the addition o discrete

    secondary particles to the solder matri: so as to orm a composite solder 4:8.

    Published literature sho2s that, to obtain the reBnement and stable microstructure

    o a solder alloy an addition o discrete secondary particles 2as mi:ed to a solder matri:

    to orm a composite solder. -hese studies indicate that the addition o secondary particles

    to a lead! ree solder matri:, and thereby the ormation o a dispersion!stren*thened

    solder, is a $iable approach to preparin* lead! ree solder 2ith enhanced mechanical

    properties. -he rein orcement particles used in the composite materials usually included

    micro!Cnano!size metallic, intermetallic, or o:ide particles. Ma$oori et al. 4J8 de$eloped
