The joint strength between Cu sheets and solder decreases when more than 5 mass% Bi is added to Sn-Ag system solders afterannealing. Zn addition to Sn-3Ag-5Bi solderis carried out in order to improve the joint strength. The effectof Zn addition to Sn-3Ag-5Bi solder on the joint strength and the joint interface structure was investigated. Zn addition to Sn-3Ag-5Bi solder changes the joint interface structure from solder/Cu-Sn intermetallic compounds/Cu to solder/Cu-Zn intermetallic compound/Cu-Sn intermetallic compound/Cu. Cu-Zn intermetallic compound acts as a barrier layer for inhibiting the growth of Cu-Sn reactionlayer. Therefore, the growth of reactionlayer and decrease ofjoint strength are inhibited by Zn addition after annealing.}, pages = {142--146}, title = {Effect of Zn Addition to Sn-3Ag-5Bi Solder on Joint Strength and Joint Interface}, volume = {10}, year = {2002} }
