摘要
The interfaces between electroless Ni-P deposit and Pb-Sn solder and Sn-Ag solder were formed by reflowing for different time periods to examine their microstructures and microchemistry. It was found that the Pb-Sn solder interface is more stable than the Sn-Ag solder interface. Sn-Ag solder reacts quickly with the electroless Ni-P deposit and forms nonadherent Ni-Sn intermetallic compounds (IMCs). Pb-Sn solder reacts slowly and forms adherent Ni-Sn IMC. A P-rich Ni layer, revealed as a dark layer under scanning electron microscopy (SEM), is formed on the electroless Ni P deposit due to the solder reaction. For short reflow times, this P-rich Ni layer consists of only Ni3P compound, but during prolonged reflow, new crystals of Ni2P, Ni5P4, and NiP2 are also found to be formed from the amorphous electroless Ni-P layer.
