In this study, the effects of graphene introduced through two different approaches dispersed graphene nanoplatelets obtained by liquid-phase exfoliation (LPE) and a monolayer graphene interlayer grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on the interfacial microstructure and mechanical properties of Sn–Ag–Cu (SAC) solder joints on copper substrates were investigated. SAC composite solders containing 0.05 wt.% and 0.5 wt.% graphene were fabricated and reflowed under controlled conditions. In parallel, CVD graphene was synthesized directly on copper substrates under a CH₄/H₂ atmosphere at 1000°C, acting as a diffusion-modifying interlayer. Interfacial microstructures were characterized by optical microscopy, focusing on the morphology and thickness of Cu₆Sn₅ and Ag₃Sn intermetallic compounds. Mechanical behavior was assessed by nanoindentation, yielding Vickers microhardness, elastic modulus, and plastic deformation parameters. The results show that both graphene additions lead to a noticeable reduction in IMC layer thickness and a more uniform interfacial morphology compared to conventional SAC/Cu joints. Improvements in mechanical properties were also observed, which are attributed to the combined effects of restricted Cu diffusion across the interface and heterogeneous nucleation during solder solidification. These findings demonstrate that graphene, whether incorporated into the solder matrix or applied as a CVD-grown interfacial layer, effectively tailors interfacial reactions and enhances the mechanical response of SAC solder joints.

Improvements in mechanical properties were also observed, which are attributed to the combined effects of restricted Cu diffusion across the interface and heterogeneous nucleation during solder solidification. These findings demonstrate that graphene, whether incorporated into the solder matrix or applied as a CVD-grown interfacial layer, effectively tailors interfacial reactions and enhances the mechanical response of SAC solder joints.\u003c/p\u003e","manuscriptTitle":"Combined Effects of LPE Graphene and CVD Graphene Interlayers on SAC/Cu Solder Joints","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2026-01-19 09:56:41","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-8576352/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"
