dc.description.abstractIn the present work, the effect of soldering temperature (270 and 298 C) and substrate surface texture (0.02 and 1.12 ?m) on wetting characteristics and morphology of intermetallic compounds (IMCs) between Sn-0.7Cu lead-free solder on copper substrates was investigated. It was found that increase in temperature and substrate surface roughness improved the wettability of solder alloy. However, the effect of surface roughness on wettability was significant as compared to that of temperature. The spreading of solder alloy was uniform on smooth substrate, whereas spreading of the alloy on rough substrate resulted in an oval shape. The morphology of IMCs transformed from long needle shaped to short and thick protrusions of IMCs with increase in surface roughness of the substrate. Needle shaped and thick protruded intermetallics formed at the solder/Cu interface were identified as Cu 6Sn 5 compounds. The formation of Cu 3Sn IMC was observed only for the spreading of solder alloy at 298 C which contributed to improvement in the wettability of solder alloy on both smooth and rough substrate surfaces.
