Thermodynamic Model • All of the solution phases are described as substitutional solution model; • Ternary compound t1 and binary phases without third component solubility are treated as line compound. Their Gibbs energy can be described by Neumann-Kopp rule.
Binary compounds with third component solubility • AuSn phase has a maximum Co content up to 12 at%, but the homogeneity range for Sn is unaffected by Co content. So a two-sublattice model (Au, Co): Sn is addopted, the Gibbs energy is formulated as: is the Gibbs energy of assumed compound CoSn. is directly cited from the report of H.S. Liu et al.
aCo3Sn2phase has an extended ternary range of homogeneity (up to 23 at. % Au), and almost parallels the Au-Co boundary. Which means that the Co site in the lattice will be partially taken up by Au atoms. So, combining with the work of Jiang et al, a four-sublattice model is employed, i.e. (Au, Co)1: (Sn)1: (Co, Va)0.5: (Co, Va)0.5. The Gibbs energy is expressed as : are the data reported by Jiang et al. and , ,

Au-RE Section Summary • With the calculated formation enthalpies of IMCs using ab initio approach, the Au-Er and Au-La binary systems were thermodynamic optimized by CALPHAD technique; • the calculated outcomes fit well with the experimental data; • the present work can theoretically guide the designing of new Au-based solder.
outlooks • The experimental information of Au-RE and Sn-RE systems should be further investigated; • On the basis of measured phase diagram and thermodynamic quantities, by applying CALPHAD approach to build a more compatible database of Au-Sn-RE systems, and then guide to find the proper candidates of solder alloying elements
