摘要

Surface oxidation and discoloration significantly impact soldering processes, particularly during high-temperature operations or extended air exposure, compromising joint performance, reliability, and esthetic quality. This study investigated Ga- and P-enhanced Sn–0.7Cu solder alloys, revealing a remarkable synergistic interaction between Ga (> 120 ppm) and P (~ 40 ppm) that effectively minimized surface oxidation while maintaining cleanliness at above 400 °C. Detailed analyses showed that Ga and P preferentially segregated to the oxidation surface, while nano-sized SnO2 polycrystals formed adjacent to the single-crystal β-Sn matrix, notably without SnO phase formation. These modifications resulted in improved oxidation resistance and enhanced wetting characteristics, demonstrating the significant potential of Ga and P micro-alloying additions for developing advanced solder materials suited for electronic packaging and high-temperature applications.
