Abstract

The ternary Bi-Ga-Sb system is a potential soldering material. The gallium-based alloy systems are the subject of numerous investigations due to the constant interest of the semiconductor industry. For a more complete characterization of the ternary Bi-Ga-Sb system, alloys from the three vertical sections were investigated using microstructural analysis as well as electrical conductivity and Brinell hardness measurements. The microstructures of the alloys were investigated by light microscopy and scanning electronic microscopy equipped with energy dispersive spectrometry. Isolines of electrical conductivity and hardness for the entire Bi-Ga-Sb system were calculated using regression models. In addition, a thermodynamic assessment of the system has been carried out by calculation of the isothermal section at 100 °C and by description using the CALPHAD method. Experimental and analytical results were found to be in good agreement.

Kurzfassung

Das ternäre Bi-Ga-Sb-System stellt ein potentielles Lötmaterial dar. Die Gallium-basierten Systeme werden aufgrund des konstanten Interesses der Halbleiterindustrie vielfältig untersucht. Für eine vollständigere Charakterisierung des ternären Bi-Ga-Sb-Systems wurden Legierungen aus drei vertikalen Sektionen mittels mikrostruktureller Analyse sowie Messungen der elektrischen Leitfähigkeit und der Brinellhärte untersucht. Die Mikrostrukturen der Legierungen wurden mittels Lichtmikroskopie und Rasterelektronenmikroskopie, ausgestattet mit energiedispersiver Spektrometrie untersucht. Die Isolinien für die elektrische Leitfähigkeit und die Härte des gesamten Bi-Ga-Sb-Systems wurden mit Hilfe von Regressionsmodellen berechnet. Zusätzlich wurde eine thermodynamische Abschätzung des Systems gemacht, indem die isothermische Sektion bei 100 °C berechnet wurde und mittels der CALPHAD-Methode beschrieben wurde. Es wurde festgestellt, dass die experimentellen und analytischen Ergebnisse gut übereinstimmen.
