Low-Silver BGA Assembly Phase II – Reliability Assessment Seventh Report: Mixed Metallurgy Solder Joint Thermal Cycling Results
Some ball grid array suppliers are migrating their sphere alloys from SAC305 (3% Ag) or SAC405 (4% Ag) to alloys with lower silver contents and often with “micro alloying” additions. There are

Stencil Printing Transfer Efficiency of Circular vs. Square Apertures with the Same Solder Paste Volume
It is frequently noted in surface mount printed circuit board assembly that most solder defects can be traced back to the stencil printing process. In addition,continuous miniaturization trends

The Effect of Functional Pads and Pitch on Via Reliability using Thermal Cycling and Interconnect Stress Testing
European legislation has meant that lead-free solders now dominate mainstream electronics manufacturing. These
replacement solders are all high tin alloys with significantly higher melting poin
