Abstract

When soldering copper-based chips in electronic industry, the growth of tin whisker on Sn/Cu interface under compressive stress was caused by nano-size intermetallic compounds (IMC), Cu6Sn5. Reactive wetting process of Cu substrate by pure Sn was observed in an experimental device, and its kinetic mechanism was investigated by performing molecular dynamics calculations. When Sn/Cu wetting was assisted with ultrasonic vibrations, the vertical growth of nano-size Cu6Sn5 particles won solid-liquid interface was inhibited, so the occurrence of a new compound Cu3Sn in ultrasonic wetting which changed the morphology of interface, was beneficial to eliminate tin whisker on Sn/Cu interface.
