Abstract Scope |
At length scales up to one hundred microns, atomic attachment kinetics have a strong influence on Sn crystal growth morphologies from the undercooled melt, and thus on the microstructure of Sn-based solder joints. Utilizing molecular dynamics to examine crystal growth from the melt in pure Sn systems, we determined that this process is best modeled using diffusion-limited growth (the Wilson Frenkel model). The anisotropy in growth from planar interfaces was characterized with values of kinetic growth coefficients for the [001], [100], and [110] directions. The roughness of the solid-liquid interfaces was characterized, and correlated with the measured growth coefficient values. These observations were compared with simulations of the growth of a Sn sphere in an undercooled melt. |
