The design of quaternary eutectic solder by machine learning

In this paper, we obtain a Sn-Bi-In-Pb quaternary near eutectic alloy composition from machine learning model. The eutectic points and the alloy composition were evaluated and continuously improved by experimental input. The actual composition is near the result given by machine learning. We conclude that the application of machine learning in solder design has shown the potential to overcome the challenge in searching for the next generation eutectic solders, which will have a broad impact on the industry.

A high entropy alloy as very low melting point solder for advanced electronic packaging

SnBiInZn based high entropy alloy (HEA) was studied as a low reflow temperature solder with melting point around 80 oC. The wetting angle is about 52o after reflow at 100 oC for 10 min. The interfacial intermetallic compound (IMC) growth kinetics was measured to be ripening-control with a low activation energy about 18.0 kJ/mol, however, the interfacial reaction rate is very slow, leading to the formation of a very thin IMC layer. The low melting point HEA solder has potential applications in advanced electronic packaging technology, especially for bio-medical devices.
