Hot Air Solder Leveling (HASL) is one of the most commonly used surface finishes in the industry. HASL is also one of the least expensive types of PCB surface finishes available. This study aims to examine the influence on the solder joint microstructure of dipping time and solder temperature. During soldering process, the temperature that used were 300°C and 400°C. The dipping time was split into three batches which is 20s, 60s, and 100s. The Sn-0.7Cu-0.05Ni solder alloy was used in this analysis to shape the solder coating microstructure. In this analysis, an Optical Microscope (OM) was used to determine the microstructure of the shape of the solder coating microstructure. As dipping time and dipping speed increased, the interfacial IMC thickness was found to increase, grown up and getting thicker. This outcome results can be used as the basis in order to improve the solder joint properties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
