Abstract SiC monocrystal substrates are implanted by Pd ions with different ion-beam energies and fluences, and the effects of Pd ion implantation on wettability of Si/SiC and Al-12Si/SiC systems are investigated by the sessile drop technique. The decreases of contact angles of the two systems are disclosed after the ion implantation, which can be attributed to the increase of surface energy (σSV) of SiC substrate derived from high concentration of defects induced by the ion-implantation and to the decrease of solid-liquid surface energy (σSL) resulting from the increasing interfacial interactions. This study can provide guidance in improving the wettability of metals on SiC and the electronic packaging process of SiC substrate.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
