Abstract

A composition includes a solder paste matrix and a solder mixture including a tin-based solder alloy. The composition also includes a discrete dispersion of a metal. The tin-based alloy includes a melting first temperature and the metal includes a melting second temperature. The melting second temperature is greater than the melting first temperature. The discrete dispersion is in a particle range of a majority passing minus 520-mesh. A process includes blending the solder mixture and the metal under non-alloying conditions to achieve the discrete dispersion of the metal. A process includes reflowing the composition such that the composition when solidified, has a melting point that is higher than the solder mixture in the composition.
