ABSTRACT
This work investigates the micromechanical properties of
Sn96.5Ag3.0Cu (SAC 305) on Immersion Tin (ImSn)
surface finished after subjected to high temperature storage (HTS)
at 180°C for 200 to 1000 h period. Nanoindentation
approach was used to measure the micromechanical properties of the solder. It
was observed that the indentation depth and plastic depth were increased and a
clear trend of decreasing hardness as opposed to the increasing reduced modulus
as the HTS time lengthened. The plasticity-asscociated
properties become stronger meanwhile the elasticity-associated properties
decreased with the HTS time. These findings indicate that
nanoindentation approach can clearly determine the plastic and elastic
deformation occurance throughout the test.
Keywords: Lead-free solder; micromechanical properties;

ABSTRAK
Penyelidikan ini mengkaji sifat mikromekanik
Sn96.5Ag3.0Cu (SAC 305) pada substrat dengan kemasan
permukaan rendaman timah (ImSn) selepas didedahkan pada penyimpanan suhu tinggi
(HTS)
pada suhu 180°C selama 200 hingga 1000 jam. Kaedah perlekukan nano
digunakan untuk mengukur sifat mikromekanik aloi pateri. Didapati bahawa kedalaman perlekukan dan plastik meningkat dan
terdapat tren kekerasan yang jelas menurun bertentangan dengan modulus
terkurang dengan pemanjangan masa HTS. Sifat
berkaitan plastik menjadi semakin kuat dan sebaliknya bagi sifat elastik yang
menurun dengan pemanjangan masa HTS. Keputusan
menunjukkan pendekatan menggunakan kaedah perlekukan nano dapat mengenal pasti
kewujudan canggaan plastik dan elastik sepanjang uji kaji.
Kata kunci: Pateri bebas plumbum; perlekukan
nano; sifat mikromekanik
