Viscosity of Sn-Cu Solders Investigated by Molecular Dynamics

Article Preview

Abstract:

The self-diffusion coefficient of Cu in Sn-1.5wt.%Cu and Sn-2wt.%Cu lead-free solders was investigated using molecular dynamics simulations based on a modified embedded-atom method from 503 K to 773 K. Then the viscosity of the solders was calculated using the selfdiffusion coefficient values, and the results were in good agreement with the experimental data. Two segments, a low-temperature zone and a high-temperature zone, were found on both η–T and lnη–1/T plots, where η is the viscosity and T is the absolute temperature. Through analysis, we infer that the viscosity mutation was attributed to the remarkable structure transition.
