The influence of Cu nanoparticles addition on microstructure and mechanical properties of Sn0.7Ag0.5Cu-BiNi/Cu solder joint after reflow and isothermal aging has been investigated in this study. Experimental results indicate that the addition of Cu nanoparticles suppresses the growth of intermetallic compound (IMC) layer at the interface after reflow and aging. Moreover, the bulk solder appears with refined microstructure after adding Cu nanoparticles. In addition, solder joints containing Cu nanoparticles display higher microhardness due to the dispersive distribution of Cu nanoparticles as well as the refined IMC particles. The addition of 0.1% Cu nanoparticles can improve the microhardness by 16% compared with the noncomposite. However, the existing porosity in the solder exerts a negative effect on microhardness and shear strength. The mechanism of porosity formation has been discussed in detail. Porosity increases markedly with increasing Cu nanoparticles proportion.
