Lead-free nanocomposite solder pastes were prepared with Sn-3Ag-0.5Cu (SAC 305) microsolders, 1-5 wt% Sn nanoparticles, and a flux. The nanocomposite pastes were studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to understand their thermal properties and the interactions between the different sized powders. DSC measurements showed two distinct endothermic peaks in all nanocomposite pastes with Sn nanoparticle additions, with one peak attributing to the melting of SAC micropowders and another peak to the melting of Sn nanoparticles. With the increased amount of Sn nanoparticle additions, the SAC material showed little change in its melting temperatures due to its large mass fraction. Multi-cycle DSC measurements of the nanocomposite solder pastes showed additional endothermic peaks, suggesting that the SAC 305 microsolder powders and pure Sn nanoparticles may have interacted with each other to form additional alloys. Changes in enthalpy of melting from DSC measurements were also used to analyze the melting characteristics of the nanocomposite pastes. Additionally, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed that more weight was retained for the nanocomposite solder pastes with increasing Sn nanoparticle additions, compared to the baseline SAC solder paste.
