TEM observation of interfaces in a solder joint in a semiconductor device

Microstructure of a joint between a Pb–Sn eutectic solder and an electroless Ni–8 mass% P has been examined using transmission electron microscopy. Four layers, i.e. Ni3Sn4, Ni48Sn52, Ni2SnP and Ni–20 mass% P, are formed between the solder and the electroless Ni–8 mass% P. Among them, Ni48Sn52 and N...
