This work summarizes the interfacial reaction between lead-free solder Sn-3.5Ag and electrolessly plated Ni-P metallization in terms of morphology and growth kinetics of the intermetallic compounds (IMC). Comparison with pure Ni metallization is made in order to clarify the role of P in the solder r...
