Voids in Solder Joints and Their Impact on Assembly Reliability

This informative webinar, held on May 3, 2023, explained the significance of measuring both voiding and coverage of solder joints. The session explored the data behind IPC J-STD-001HA/-A-610 .. read more

Reliability Study of Low Silver Alloy Solder Pastes

Sn3.0Ag0.5Cu (SAC305) is currently the most popular near eutectic lead-free alloy used in the manufacturing processes. Over the last several years,the price of silver has dramatically increased .. read more

Embedded Fibers Enhance Nano-Scale Interconnections

While the density of chip-to-chip and chip-to-package component interconnections increases and their size decreases the ease of manufacture and the interconnection reliability are being reduced .. read more

HALT Testing of Backward Soldered BGAs on a Military Product

The move to lead free (Pb-free) electronics by the commercial industry has resulted in an increasing number of ball grid array components (BGAs) which are only available with Pb-free solder bal .. read more

Stereo Vision Based Automated Solder Ball Height Detection

Solder ball height inspection is essential to the detection of potential connectivity issues in semi-conductor units. Current ball height inspection tools such as laser profiling,fringe project .. 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

Solder Creep-Fatigue Model Parameters for SAC & Snag Lead-Free Solder Joint Reliability Estimation

For many of the Pb-free solders required under the European RoHS directive,there is now sufficient information,primarily in the form of the results of accelerated thermal cycling of various lev .. read more

Assembly of Large PWBs in a RoHS Environment

As early as 2001,leading cellular phone manufacturers had established stable assembly processes that were RoHS compliant for their cellular phone products. Since this time,the products manufact .. read more

Failure Analysis of Eutectic and Pb-Free Solder Alloys after High Stress Exposure

Failure analysis was performed on fourteen thermally cycled or vibration tested PDIP components from the JCAA-JG-PP Lead-Free Joint Test Project. The components differed in component finish,sol .. read more

A Comparison of the Isothermal Fatigue Behavior of Sn-Ag-Cu to Sn-Pb Solder

The movement to Pb-free soldering will result in solder joints that are significantly stiffer than those made of SnPb. This paper presents the results from the first phase of a two-part study t .. read more
