Reliability Assessment of No-clean and Water-soluble Solder Pastes Part II
Looking back twenty-five years ago,the solder pastes residues had to be cleaned after reflow due to their corrosive nature; two ways of cleaning were possible,either with solvent or by using wa

Qualification of Solder Beading and Tombstoning in Passive Devices using Designed Experiments
Solder beading and tombstoning are observed increasingly with chip components as their size decreases. This is
even more crucial in today’s packaging,due to the high ratio of passive components

Low Silver Solder Alloys with Good Drop Shock and Thermal Cycle Reliability
SAC105 was shown to have better drop shock reliability than SAC305 however SAC105 thermal cycle performance was not necessarily as good at SAC305. Small quantities (0.1% or so) of some elements

A Study of 0201’s and Tombstoning in Lead-Free Systems,Phase II Comparison of Final Finishes and Solder Paste Formulations
Tombstoning,the phenomena where a chip component stands up on one end during the reflow cycle,is well-documented and understood in tin-lead systems. It is reported to occur more frequently in l

Optimizing Your Reflow Profile for Maximum Productivity and Profitability
Successful reflow soldering is a key to productivity and profitability,yet many assemblers may be using a nonoptimized
reflow profile.
Years ago,when IR ovens were the norm and solder pastes we

Conquer Tombstoning in Lead-Free Soldering
Tombstoning of SnAgCu is affected by the solder composition. At vapor phase soldering,both wetting force and wetting
time at a temperature well above the melting point have no correlation with

Defining Solder Paste Performance via Novel Quantitative Methods
Quantitative solder paste performance or use testing enables material formulators to focus on and maximize key
material traits such as wettability and printability. These same material test met
