We developed a new lead-free solder alloy, an Sn-Ag-Cu base to which a small amount of Ni and Ge is added, to improve the mechanical properties of solder alloys. We examined creep deformation in bulk and through-hole (TH)␣form for two lead-free solder alloys, Sn-3.5Ag-0.5Cu-Ni-Ge and Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu, at elevated temperatures, finding that the creep rupture life of the Sn-3.5Ag-0.5Cu-Ni-Ge solder alloy was over three times better than that of the Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder at 398 K. Adding Ni to the solder appears to make microstructural development finer and more uniform. The Ni added to the solder readily combined with Cu to form stable intermetallic compounds of (Cu, Ni)6Sn5capable of improving the creep behavior of solder alloys. Moreover, microstructural characterization based on transmission electron microscopy analyses observing creep behavior in detail showed that such particles in the Sn-3.5Ag-0.5Cu-Ni-Ge solder alloy prevent dislocation and movement.
