In this study, varying weight percentages of Ni-coated carbon nanotubes (Ni-CNTs) were incorporated into Sn-Ag-Cu (SAC) solder matrix, to form composite solder. Up to 0.05% of Ni-CNTs were successfully incorporated. The interfacial microstructure and shear strength of solders on Ni/Au-finished Cu su...
