Intermetallic Growth and Shear Strength of SAC305/EN-Boron

The paper aimed to study the effect of aging and cooling rate on the reliability of the solder joint using electroless nickel boron (EN-Boron) as a surface finish in the electronic packaging area.EN-Boron was plated on Cu substrate through electroless plating method. This process was followed by ref...
