High-Reliability Solder Alloys’ Impact on Pb-free TF Conductors
High-Reliability Solder Alloys’ Impact on Pb-free TF Conductors
The main objective of this paper was to identify a solder (specifically Sn-based and high reliability) and thick film combination to improve overall reliability of thick film hybrids. This was done by conducting rigorous thermal testing. The work conducted for this paper served as an initial exploration into this area of study.

Electronic Assembly Rework Best Practices: No-Clean and Cleaning Conditions
Electronic Assembly Rework Best Practices: No-Clean and Cleaning Conditions
Electronic Assembly reliability must consider process residues and cleanliness. IPC J-STD-001J—Section 8 requires assemblers to qualify soldering and/or cleaning processes that result in acceptable levels of flux and other process residues. This research aims to study the electrical effects of flux and process residues following the rework process.
