The effect of incorporation on the wettability of SAC composite solder.

Sn-Ag-Cu based solderWettabilityOptimum addition

Sn-Ag-Cu-ZnO [49]ZnO addition resulted in the decrease of wetting angles, which implies the improvement of wettability0.5 wt%
Sn-Ag-Cu-Al2O3 [21]Addition of Al2O3 with the range of 0.01-0.5 wt% resulted in the increase of wetting area
Sn-Ag-Cu-Fe2O3 [55]Wettability increases first and then decreases with the increase of addition ranged from 0 to 1 wt%0.4 wt%
Sn-Ag-Cu-La2O3 [56]Spreading area increases with the addition range from 0 to 0.05% La2O3, then decreases in 0.1 wt% La2O30.05 wt%
Sn-Ag-Cu-CuZnAl [70, 71]Spreading ratio improvement and contact angle decreased due to the addition of CuZnAl particles0.5 wt%
Sn-Ag-Cu-TiC [30]Contact angles of composite solder reduced first and then improved with the increase of TiC content0.1 wt%
Sn-Ag-Cu-nano-Al [69]Wetting area increases with the improvement of Al nanoparticles when the content is less than 0.1 wt%, and then the wettability deteriorates with the increase of Al nanoparticles when the content is more than 0.1 wt%0.1 wt%
Sn-Ag-Cu-GNPs [39]Spreading ratio improves gradually with the increase of GNPs and achieved an optimum value with the content of 0.05 wt%, then deteriorated in 0.1 wt% addition0.05 wt%
Sn-Ag-Cu-FNSs [41]Contact angle decreased first then decreased with the increase of FNSs content0.1 wt%
