Abstract
The wetting balance test was carried out to compare the wettability of Sn-Xwt%Cu($0{\sim}3$wt%) solders. And, IMCs which were formed at interface between solders and substrates were investigated by using XRD(x-ray diffractometer), SEM(scanning electron microscope) and EDS(energy dispersive spectroscope). The value of ${\gamma}_[fl}$ and(${\gamma}_{fs}-{\gamma}_{ls}$) had a tendency to increase with increasing wetting temperature. The activation energy that was calculated between the bare Cu substrate and flux was increased in the following order Sn-0.7wt%Cu(68.42 kJ/mol);Sn-3.0wt%Cu(72.66 kJ/mol);100wt%Sn solder(94.53 kJ/mol).
