Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides a lead-free solder composition for glass. The lead-free solder composition for glass includes indium, zinc, and tin. The indium (In) ranges from about 30.0 wt % to about 60 wt %. The zinc (Zn) ranges from about 0.01 wt % to about 11.0 wt %. The tin (Sn) is included as a remaining component.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A composition, consisting of: indium (In) in an amount from about 30.0 wt % to about 60.0 wt %; zinc (Zn) in an amount from about 0.01 wt % to 11.0 wt %; at least two elements selected from the group consisting of: copper (Cu) in an amount from about 0.1 wt % to about 3.0 wt %, manganese (Mn) in an amount from about 0.01 wt % to about 0.5 wt % and nickel (Ni) in an amount from about 0.01 wt % to about 0.5 wt %; and tin (Sn) as the remaining component. 2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is prepared for use in manufacturing a solder pre-form selected from the group consisting of a solder paste, a solder ball, a solder bar, a solder wire, a solder bump, a solder plate, a solder powder, a solder pellet, a solder particle, a solder ribbon, a solder washer, and a solder ring. 3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the amount of In is 30.0 wt %. 4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the amount of In is 60 wt %. 5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the amount of Zn is 11.0 wt %. 6. A composition, consisting of: 30.0 wt % indium (In); 0.01 wt % zinc (Zn); at least two elements selected from the group consisting of: copper (Cu), wherein the amount of Cu ranges from about 0.1 wt % to about 3.0 wt %, manganese (Mn) wherein the amount of Mn ranges from about 0.01 wt % to about 0.5 wt %, and nickel (Ni), wherein the amount of Ni ranges from about 0.01 wt % to about 0.5 wt %; and remainder tin (Sn). 7. The composition of claim 6 , wherein the composition is prepared for use in manufacturing a solder pre-form selected from the group consisting of a solder paste, a solder ball, a solder bar, a solder wire, a solder bump, a solder plate, a solder powder, a solder pellet, a solder particle, a solder ribbon, a solder washer, and a solder ring.
