Novel SACX Solders with Drop Test Performance Outperforming Eutectic Tin-Lead

A family of SACX alloys has been developed with significant improvement in drop test performance on NiAu surface finish. Dopants such as Mn,Bi,Ti,Ce,and to a less extent Y for SAC105 have been .. read more

Lead Free 0201 Assembly and Thermal Cycle/Aging Reliability

The many challenges with 0201 passive component assembly can be attributed to the solder paste volume,pad design, aperture design,board finish,type of solder paste,pick-and-place,and reflow pro .. read more

Formation and Growth of Intermetallics at the Interface between Lead-free Solders and Copper Substrates

Intermetallic formation and growth were studied for the alloys Sn-3.2Ag-0.8Cu,Sn-3.5Ag,Sn-0.7Cu,and Sn-9Zn. Coupons of solder joints (prepared by melting some of each solder alloy on a copper-p .. read more

Adhesiveless Copper on Polyimide Substrate with Nickel-Chromium Tiecoat
