Description
Summary:In this research, varying fraction of titanium oxide (TiO2) reinforcement particles was successfully incorporated into Sn-Cu-Ni solder paste in an effort to study the influence of TiO2 addition on microstructure evolution of Sn-Cu-Ni solder paste composite. Sn-Cu-Ni solder paste composite was produced by mixing TiO2 particle with Sn-Cu-Ni solder paste. The microstructure analysis was carried out by Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX). The addition TiO2 particle helps to refine the bulk solder microstructure and suppress the intermetallic compound (IMC) formation at the interface as will be discussed further.
