✦ Synopsis


The present paper reports an anomalous microstructure formed at interfaces between Cu ribbons and Sndeposited Cu plates by ultrasonic bonding. The interface consists of Cu-to-Cu directly bonded part and Sn-dispersed part. In the latter part, Sn is dispersed in the vicinity of the bond interfaces being retained as Sn. The formation process of the interfacial microstructure is discussed on the basis of detailed experimental analysis and theoretical analysis on the solid-state reaction at Cu/Sn interface. The theoretical analysis reveals three important points of the reaction. (1) The formation of Cu 6 Sn 5 precedes that of Cu 3 Sn. (2) The incubation time for the formation of Cu 6 Sn 5 changes discontinuously at the g/g 0 transition temperature. (3) The incubation time for the formation of g 0 Cu 6 Sn 5 is longer than that for gCu 6 Sn 5 .
