Controlling Recrystallisation in Plated Layers Through the Use of Additives

This work compares the influence of a plating additive that has been applied to a commercially available electroless copper system and how its use impacts the morphology of the overall final .. read more

Reliability and IMC Layer Evolution of Homogenous Lead-Free Solder Joints During Thermal Cycling

Many leading solder paste manufacturers are currently developing solder alloys for high reliability applications. These solder alloys are doped with elements such as bismuth (Bi), indium (In .. read more

Recrystallisation and the Resulting Crystal Structures in Plated Microvias

Plated and filled microvias are a common feature in modern PCBs, so much so, that they are now considered as the industry norm as a means of achieving high-density designs for modern mobile .. read more

Next Progression in Microvia Reliability Validation – Reflow Simulation of a PCB Design Attributes and Material Structural Properties During the...

As has long been known, each time there is a step up to the next level of PCB technology, the industry is faced with new or the broadening of existing challenges. Today, this is particularly .. read more

Grain Refinement for Improved Lead-Free Solder Joint Reliability

The very small solder joints that now account for an increasing proportion of the connections on which modern electronics depends are typically made up of only a few grains,sometimes only a sin .. read more

Comparison of Thermal Fatigue Performance of SAC105 (Sn-1.0Ag-0.5Cu),Sn- 3.5Ag,and SAC305 (Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu) BGA Components with SAC305 Solder Paste

Many BGA and CSP component suppliers have begun shipment of components with a variety of “second generation” Pb-free solder ball alloys. Much of the motivation for the alloy changes has been to .. read more

Recrystallization Principles Applied to Whisker Growth in Tin

Tin whiskers found in electroplated deposits are known to be single crystals which spontaneously grow. Thus whisker growth can be regarded as a grain growth phenomenon. In this paper we examine .. read more
