Demand towards smaller electronic devices prompts the electronic interconnection to have less density and minimal weight percentage and such of this concern tips to applications of nanoparticles incorporation to the solder alloy. In this work, the effect of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (<100nm) additions on the performance of wettability micro hardness, and shear strength of the Sn-3.8Ag-0.7Cu (SAC) solder alloy soldered on the Copper (Cu) substrate was investigated. The SAC added 3% TiO2 nanoparticles had a slight decrease in the micro hardness compared to the plain SAC in this study but the value still surpasses many other common solder alloy’s hardness value. The wettability test was conducted by taking account the contact angle achieved by soldering the SAC added 3% TiO2 solder alloy to the Cu substrate and contact angle produced was less than 40°. As for the shear strength, there was a clear increment of 13% in the shear strength compared to the plain SAC solder alloy. Quite observant, the additions of TiO2 nanoparticles displayed significant influence on these properties that contributes to excellent performance. Much detailed discussion are elaborated in the content below aiding with results and theory behind the result achieved.
