Abstract: The intermetallic compounds(IMC) at the interface of lead-free solder joints play a key role in affecting the reliability of the solder joints. In this work, the effects of aging time and Sb addition on the morphology of IMC and corresponding growth kinetics of the Sn-9Zn-3Bi/Cu solder joint were studied by scanning electronic microscope (SEM). The results show that the thickness of the interfacial IMC at the Sn-9Zn-3Bi/Cu solder joint increase as the aging time increase, and the type of IMC was γ-Cu5Zn8 phase. After long period of aging, the addition of Sb reduced the thickness of the interface IMC at the Sn-9Zn-3Bi/Cu solder joint, and the growth coefficient of the IMC decreases from 0.67 μm/h1/2 to 0.56 μm/h1/2. As the aging time increases to 168 h, except for the existence of the interfacial γ-Cu5Zn8 phase, the Cu6Sn5 phase is formed near Cu substrate, and the diffusion interaction layer is formed near solder matrix too. The Sb element will diffuse into the Cu6Sn5 phase and exist in the form of solid solution.
